CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Josh Gordon had an amazing first game for the Cleveland Browns in last week's 19-10 loss to the Chargers in Los Angeles:

1. I was at the game and watched Gordon a lot, even when he was not directly part of the play. As I wrote, he knew the plays. He was in good shape considering his last regular season game was in 2014.

2. In his conference call, Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy credited Hue Jackson and the Browns coaching staff with having Gordon prepared to play. It's not easy to walk off the street into the middle of the NFL season for Game 11. But Gordon did that.

3. McCarthy on Gordon: "He definitely jumps off the video."

4. It's the same when you watch Gordon in person. Your eyes just follow him. It also is the same with the Browns coaching staff and quarterback DeShone Kizer.

5. Most fans know Kizer threw 11 of his 32 passes for Gordon, who caught four. Several were off target. Gordon had no drops.

6. But Kizer ignored most of the other wide receivers. There were 63 snaps on offense. Corey Coleman played 51. He was targeted four times, no catches. He should have been credited with a drop, but wasn't.

7. Coleman also seems to be still dealing with dropping an easy TD pass in the end zone in the loss at Cincinnati two games ago.

8. Rashard Higgins played 36 snaps. Not a single ball was thrown in his direction.

9. Ricardo Louis played 13 snaps, no passes to him.

10. Kenny Britt played 12 snaps. He caught two passes for 10 total yards. So Britt was the only receiver besides Gordon to catch a pass.

11. Kizer did throw nine passes to tight ends David Njoku and Seth DeValve, and that worked. Njoku had four catches for 74 yards, including a 28-yard TD.

12. I love how Kizer hit Gordon for a 28-yard gain, then came right back and connected with Njoku for the 28-yard TD. The rookie knew Gordon would draw a lot of attention and leave someone open.

13. The middle of the field could be wide open on some plays when Gordon runs deep. The Browns need to capitalize on it.

14. I'd like to see the Browns throw more short slant passes to Gordon. They threw one to him for nine yards to open the game. Use him that way, not just as a deep target.

15. Gordon was in excellent shape for a guy who was in his first game of the season. But he was worn out in the fourth quarter. Jackson played him too much early in the game.

16. Gordon played 48 of 63 snaps. It will be interesting to see how he feels this weekend in the cold on the shores of Lake Erie with Green Bay in town. This was the first time he was really tackled since being in training camp in 2016. He could start to feel it a bit this weekend.

17. Kizer was 15 of 32 passing. He missed Gordon twice on long passes. I do wish Jackson would have him throw more short passes to simply get his confidence going in some games.

18. I was going to write about how Jackson needs to run the ball more, but it's the same issue nearly every week. The coach not only loves to throw the ball, he loves to throw it deep.

19. Isaiah Crowell is the Browns leading rusher ... 155 attempts for 595 yards. But guess who is No. 2? It's Kizer with 59 attempts for 308 yards. Kizer is an effective and sometimes bullish runner. But this is just a very strange offense.

20. Overall, Gordon had an excellent performance. We'll see how Kizer and the coaches adjust to him this week.
