3 Big Takeaways: Browns D delivers one more time to cap its much-improved season Cleveland limited the Bengals to 182 yards in the 21-16 victory
Mayfield's season ends on sideline, surgery awaits Browns QB
Baker Mayfield watched Cleveland's season-finale win over Cincinnati from the sideline, which was a fitting spot for his broken seasonJANUARY 9, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Case Keenum - Pair of TD tosses in finale Keenum completed 17 of 24 passes for 176 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the Browns' 21-16 win over the Bengals on Sunday. He also rushed five times for 15 yards...
Impact Keenum once again did a serviceable job in Baker Mayfield's (shoulder) stead, connecting with Jarvis Landry and Demeteric Felton on touchdown passes of 26 and 10 yards, respectively. The veteran is under contract through next season and therefore figures to remain as a trusted veteran No. 2 option behind Mayfield or a possible offseason addition.

Jarvis Landry - Finds end zone in finale Landry secured six of eight targets for 75 yards and a touchdown in the Browns' 21-16 win over the Bengals on Sunday.
Impact Landry paced the Browns in receptions, receiving yards and targets while serving as Week 18 starter Case Keenum's primary security blanket. The veteran possession receiver battled some injuries in 2021, but he finished the campaign with a solid 25-325-2 line over his last five games. Assuming the Browns opt to hold on to the 29-year-old for 2022 despite his sizable salary, he figures to once again serve as an important component of the air attack, albeit with a likely new No. 1 receiver.

Nick Chubb - Efficient in limited action Chubb rushed nine times for 58 yards and brought in his only target for two yards in the Browns' 21-16 win over the Bengals on Sunday.
Impact Chubb predictably saw relatively limited action, and a bulk of his production against what was a much improved Bengals run defense this season came on a 35-yard scamper. The fourth-year pro finished with an impressive 1,259 rushing yards in 14 games, the second-highest tally of his career. With backfield mate Kareem Hunt (ankle) under contract through next season as well, Chubb figures to still operate as the primary early-down option for the run-heavy Cleveland attack in 2022.

D'Ernest Johnson - Eclipses century mark in win Johnson rushed 25 times for 123 yards and a touchdown and brought in his only target for 10 yards in the Browns' 21-16 win over the Bengals on Sunday.
Impact With nothing to play for in terms of the postseason and backup Case Keenum helming the offense, head coach Kevin Stefanski opted to give some other reserves a chance to showcase their skills and Johnson cashed in nicely on the opportunity. The talented 25-year-old had already amply demonstrated his ability to serve as a legitimate lead back when called upon earlier this season, so his strong showing against a short-handed Bengals defense looking ahead to the playoffs wasn't completely surprising. Johnson finishes the season with 534 rushing yards and another 137 through the air, but with Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt in front of him, his path to meaningful playing time could well continue to hinge on injuries in front of him if he remains in Cleveland. However, Johnson is a restricted free agent, so there's certainly a chance he did enough this season to warrant interest from other clubs depending on the qualifying offer the Browns extend.
