Watch: Nick Mullens' TD pass to Harrison Bryant gives Cleveland Browns 14-13 lead vs. Raiders

Nick Mullens' six-yard touchdown pass to Harrison Bryant gave the Cleveland Browns a 14-13 lead vs. the Las Vegas Raiders.

CLEVELAND — Having otherwise been stagnant for much of the game, the Cleveland Browns' passing attack came alive at the right time vs. the Las Vegas Raiders. Facing a fourth-and-five from the Raiders' six-yard line, Browns quarterback Nick Mullens found tight end Harrison Bryant for a six-yard touchdown pass to give Cleveland a 14-13 lead with 3:45 remaining in the contest.

Mullens' touchdown pass to Bryant came in the midst of a game in which the Browns are missing several players -- including quarterbacks Baker Mayfield and Case Keenum -- due to COVID-19. Mullens had entered the week on Cleveland's practice squad, but found himself the Browns' starter after Mayfield and Keenum were each placed on the COVID-19 list.

Mullens' touchdown pass capped a 14-play, 80-yard drive that lasted eight minutes and 22 seconds. Earlier in the drive, Mullens converted a third-and-eight from the Raiders' 22-yard line with an 11-yard completion to wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones.

In a game that was pushed back from Saturday to Monday due to Cleveland's COVID-19 outbreak, the Browns found themselves missing the following players, as well as head coach Kevin Stefanski, who also tested positive for COVID-19:

  • QB Baker Mayfield
  • QB Case Keenum
  • RB Kareem Hunt
  • WR Jarvis Landry
  • TE Austin Hooper
  • OT Jedrick Wills Jr.
  • OT James Hudson III
  • DE Jadeveon Clowney
  • DE Ifeadi Odenigbo
  • DT Malik McDowell
  • LB Mack Wilson Sr.
  • LB Tony Fields II
  • LB Jacob Phillips
  • CB A.J. Green
  • CB Troy Hill
  • S Grant Delpit
  • S Ronnie Harrison Jr.
  • P Jamie Gillan

With the Browns entering Monday at 7-6 and the Raiders at 6-7, their Week 15 matchup could have significant implications in the AFC playoff picture. For all the latest from FirstEnergy Stadium on Monday night, follow our live blog.
