CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Scribbles in my notebook after the Cleveland Browns lost to the Green Bay Packers in overtime Sunday, 27-21:

1. DeShone Kizer said he does not feel any "doubt" when the score is close late in the game. He says he doesn't think of how the Browns could lose. Maybe that's true. Or probably, he doesn't want to think about it. If he answers "Yes, there is doubt..." then there is an even bigger problem with Kizer and the Browns.

2. Of course, there is "doubt." How else do you explain blowing a 21-7 lead in the fourth quarter at home? It's not as if the Packers had future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers at quarterback. Sometimes, a comeback is led by a great player ... and that's what happens ... a team loses to a great player.

3. But it was Brett Hundley at quarterback for Green Bay. He entered the day with a 2-4 record as a starter, five TD passes compared to eight interceptions. He is much like Kizer, a young turnover-prone quarterback trying to figure out how to win in the NFL.

4. Rodgers (broken collarbone) is expected back next week for the Packers. Meanwhile, Hundley grew as a quarterback on this day, delivering one clutch pass after another. He also had some determined runs. Hundley was 35-of-46 passing for 265 yards, three TDs and zero interceptions!

5. Then there's the Browns defense. They were without five starters: Jamie Collins, Emmanuel Ogbah, Briean Boddy-Calhoun, Jabrill Peppers and Danny Shelton. But they had a 21-7 lead after three quarters. Closing out that game isn't too much to ask.

6. Trevor Davis had a 65-yard punt return with 2:57 left in the game. The Browns had a 21-14 lead. Yes, it was a special teams collapse. But the Packers still were 37 yards away from the goal line. How about stopping them? Instead, the Packers scored a TD with 17 seconds left in the fourth quarter to set up the overtime.

7. From the moment the fourth quarter opened, the defense could not make a single, significant stop. You could feel the game slipping away. That's what happens when a team is 1-28 in the last two years.

8. In the overtime period, Kizer threw a horrible interception. The Packers still had the ball on the Cleveland 42-yard line. How about stopping them? At least make them try a field goal? Instead, the Packers roared into the end zone. Gregg Williams is a good defensive coordinator. His stats over a long career show it. But he seemed helpless to come up with anything to stop Green Bay when it mattered.

9. As for Kizer, he needed to throw his last pass of the day away. As Jackson mentioned, "the play fell apart." Josh Gordon was the original target, but he wasn't open. He actually was held by a defender, but no matter ... he was not a primary target.

10. Then Kizer scrambled around, trying to heave the ball downfield to Rashard Higgins. Packers linebacker Clay Matthew crunched Kizer as the quarterback threw the ball. It fluttered. Lousy pass. Picked off.

11. Kizer said if he could have delivered the ball to Higgins, it was would have been a TD: "You strike up the band and enjoy our first win of the year."

12. Instead, it was time for the Browns and their fans to sing the blues ... once again.

13. Kizer's mistake was a huge key to the game because Hundley didn't make any plays like that. The Browns defense probably thought they could force Hundley into some turnovers. Along with eight interceptions, he had lost two fumbles. Not on this day.

14. Green Bay's Devante Adams scored the winning TD on a 25-yard pass. Actually, the pass went about 3 yards and he ran the rest into the end zone. Myles Garrett appeared to have a grip on Adams close to the line of scrimmage, but Adams broke free ... and no one else in an orange helmet was there to stop him.

15. The Browns could not develop much of a pass rush. They had one sack (Nate Orchard). Carl Nassib, Derrick Kindred and Garrett each had a quarterback hit. But it was not enough to shake up Hundley.

14. Corey Coleman had an excellent game catching five passes ... he was targeted only six times. He caught a 2-yard TD pass when he was blasted at the goal line ... and hung on to the ball.

15. It was encouraging to see Coleman play so well after not catching a pass last week in the 19-10 loss to the Chargers. Also, this was a very cold weather game (15 degree wind chill), and Coleman seemed bothered by cold weather as a rookie in 2016.

15. Isaiah Crowell rushed for 121 yards in 19 carries. It was good to see the Browns ground game working.

17. Josh Gordon had a sensational leaping 18-yard TD catch. He also caught a pass for 38 yards. Both of those were on Browns first possession of the game. After that, Gordon caught only one more pass ... for 13 yards. He was drawing a fair amount of defensive attention. Kizer said the Packers often had two men covering Gordon after that first TD.

18. The only surprise was the Packers failing to double-team Gordon from the opening snap. He is the Browns biggest weapon on offense. The extra defensive attention given Gordon allowed Coleman more room to get open, and he capitalized on it.

19. The Browns have three games left. Jackson didn't want to talk about all the losing being "psychological." He said: "I don't know. I will look at everything ... This is what it is. Losing is not good for anybody."

20. There were a lot of Packer fans in the stands. No surprise. They love their team and Browns tickets are far easier to secure than tickets to see their team in Green Bay. Until the Browns start to win, you will often see a lot of fans supporting the visiting team in the stands. That's just reality.
