5 Cleveland Browns whose stocks are up after Week 7’s Bengals’ thriller.

The Cleveland Browns somehow find themselves playing “must-win” games every Sunday and Week 7’s contest against the Cincinnati Bengals was no different.

Coming off a shellacking at the hands of the Pittsburgh Steelers a week ago, the Browns badly needed to earn a victory to avoid the possibility of seeing their season trend the wrong way.

Instead, the team played one of its greatest games of the expansion era, earning a 37-34 thrilling, come-from-behind victory.

That’s a hefty statement considering how things started. Baker Mayfield threw an interception on his first attempt of the day. Odell Beckham injured his knee trying to run down the ball carrier, while J.C. Tretter did as well.

Tretter returned, but Beckham did not, and the media speculation regarding his health doesn’t look good.

The Browns pulled it together, though, as fans were reminiscing about Bernie and Boomer while watching the shootout between Burrow and Baker.

Here’s five Browns whose stocks are up, as Cleveland improved to 5-2 with the Las Vegas Raiders awaiting in Week 8.
