The Las Vegas Raiders beat the Cleveland Browns thanks to a great team performance, but several players stood out for the right and wrong reasons, here are 3 studs and duds from the victory.

Talk about your ugly win! The Las Vegas Raiders scored one touchdown and had just 309 total yards on offense but came away with a much-needed victory over the Cleveland Browns. Their AFC rival put up a fight until the very end but the combination of the Raiders overpowering run game and the weather were too much for the Browns to overcome at FirstEnergy Stadium.

This was the Raiders third trip to the eastern time zone in just the first 8 weeks of the season and they flew home with their second victory in three attempts. Thankfully they don’t have to travel further east at all until back to back road games against the Falcons and Jets until Week 12 and 13.

They should also be able to avoid any rough weather until that December 6th date with the Jets which is a great thing as it was a massive factor against the Browns. If we could give the MVP to the wind and rain and snow we absolutely would but that would be unfair to the players on the field who gave their all to overcome such horrible conditions.

Some players really stood out and weathered the bad conditions while others struggled to make much of an impact thanks to the weather and flow of the game. Here are the studs and duds from the Week 8 victory over the Cleveland Browns.
