Gordon's absence allowed the Dolphins to stack defenders near the line of scrimmage and slow Cleveland's rushing game. Running back Trent Richardson carried the ball 13 times for 47 yards, but gained just 21 after the Browns' first drive, which ended with Weeden being intercepted at Miami's 1-yard line.
Gordon simply makes the Browns better by being on the field. Period. The 6-foot-4,Kanken Backpack Sale, 225-pounder is a physical force who is big enough to outmuscle linebackers and can outrun cornerbacks. Cleveland is just not the same team without No. 12.
