The Cleveland Browns saw their two-game winning streak end on Sunday, as they fell prey to the Pittsburgh Steelers in lopsided fashion.
In the eyes of Cleveland running back Quinshon Judkins, the 27-6 loss of his team can be largely blamed on the Browns themselves.

"All the self-inflicted wounds…penalties, false starts, stuff like that that we can really control…even with the field position that we have and with the defense getting their particular field position and them getting a stop and us not being able to execute is definitely frustrating," Judkins told reporters following the game, via Camryn Justice of News 5 Cleveland .

The Browns were flagged for nine penalties for 85 yards and also committed two turnovers, both fumbles, with Deshaun Watson and tight end Harold Fannin Jr. committing one apiece. Cleveland racked up 319 total yards, but only managed to have 17 first downs, thanks to an inefficient 4/13 showing on third downs and 0/2 on fourth downs.

Judkins himself didn't have a great day, with the former Ohio State Buckeyes star collecting just 25 rushing yards on 11 carries.
Through eight weeks, Cleveland still has a lot of adjustments to make in order to be taken more seriously. Field discipline is one the Browns can priorotize, as they are last in the NFL with 0.07 penalties a game.
On the season, the Browns are also only 29th in the league with just an average of 17.4 points per game and 17th with a -0.1 turnover margin per game.
The 5-3 Browns can bounce back as soon as Sunday, when they share the field with the New Orleans Saints at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans before heading back home for a Week 10 clash against the Houston Texans.
