The Cleveland Browns had a monster day on offense to beat the Houston Texans 36-22 on Christmas Eve.

Offensive spotlight: Joe Flacco and Amari Cooper were virtually unstoppable all game. Flacco threw for 368 yards at 8.8 yards per attempt, and Cooper broke the Browns’ franchise record for receiving yards in a single game, bringing in 11 catches for 265 yards. Cooper was targeted 15 times, six more than any other Browns receiver.
Defensive spotlight: Derek Stingley Jr. — somewhat counterintuitively — put on a solid performance despite Cooper setting records on the other side. Stingley was only responsible for two catches, though one resulted in a touchdown. He also came down with an interception and allowed a passer rating of 60.4 into his coverage. 
Rookie spotlight: The two rookies who featured most prominently in this game were guard Juice Scruggs for the Texans and receiver Cedric Tillman for the Browns.
Scruggs allowed just one pressure — pending grade review — though his run-blocking was less than perfect. Tillman was targeted twice, catching both of them for 13 yards. Both catches moved the chains.
