Malachi Corley News: Negative impact in loss

Corley was not targeted, had one carry for nine yards and returned four kickoffs for 73 yards in Sunday's 26-8 loss to San Francisco in Week 13.

Under the NFL's new kickoff formation, returners typically average more than the 18 yards Corley managed Sunday. Unfortunately, he fielded one kick inches from the sideline and fell out of bounds. Had he allowed the kick to roll out of bounds, the Browns' struggling offense would have begun its possession at their own 40-yard line instead of in the shadow of its own goal-line. The Browns' kick returners had a bad day all around while fighting windy conditions, as punt returner Gage Larvadain committed three fumbles and lost one of them.
