“[Hadid] was the clear winner when all elements of the face were measured for physical perfection,” De Silva told the Daily Mail of Hadid,

CLEVELAND — Ah, those bungling Browns.

Cleveland had so many chances to bounce back with a statement victory.

But First Energy Stadium was not the place for that on Sunday as the Browns stung themselves as much as Russell Wilson took full advantage to lead the Seahawks to a wild 32-28 victory.
