The Cleveland Browns’ loss to the Seattle Seahawks is going to sting all week.

Falling 24-20, the Browns had the game in their hands with two yards to go on third down, but they couldn’t make it happen. Instead, P.J. Walker had his third turnover of the game and the Seahawks went down and won the game.

One thing is obvious coming out of this game, Cleveland can not rely on P.J. Walker at quarterback. Any game that Walker starts, the Browns are going to be in for a tough one.

Capable backups in the NFL limit turnovers and manage the game. Walker didn’t do that, he was reckless and the later interception sealed it for the Browns. Walker finished 15-of-31 for 248 yards and a touchdown. Two interceptions and a fumble stand out the most.

Walker failed to work through progressions multiple times in the game, he locked in on a guy and that’s where he went. His inability to recognize a blitz coming cost him the fumble he had in the first half.

The Chicago Bears didn’t keep Walker around for a reason. They’re a bad team and opted to roll with an undrafted rookie over Walker.

Sure, the game-changing interception late was a questionable play call by Kevin Stefanski. Then, the ball hit a helmet and was popped in the air. It doesn’t matter, as this is a common trend with Walker and turning the ball over. I’m three games played, Walker has turned the ball over a total of six times.

After allowing 17 points in the first quarter, the defense buckled down and didn’t allow a score until late in the game.

Cleveland needs Deshaun Watson back and they at least need him to be slightly above average. If the Browns get that, they’ll win ball games. This team is dying for average quarterback play and they’re not getting it.

It’s back to the drawing board for the Browns at 4-2. This week will again be a week-long question on whether Watson will be able to play against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9 or not.
