It didn’t take very long for the first Cleveland Browns gaffe of the season.
With the first quarter winding down, the Browns inexplicably dialed up a fake punt formation with punter Britton Colquitt lined up as a blocker. Shockingly, the play was a disaster with Duke Johnson receiving a direct snap and losing six yards:

It wasn’t nearly as bad as the Colts’ fake punt against the Patriots, but, come on, Browns.
