LOSER: Terrance West/Isaiah Crowell, Cleveland Browns

Ben Tate is back and running for 123 yards.

Sure the Tennessee Titans aren’t a bastion of fantastic run defending, but the Browns made it clear that as long as he is healthy, Tate is getting the carries.

Both rookies were very good in Tate’s absence, but Tate was given the reins back immediately and certainly didn’t disappoint. So it’s back to spot-duty for West and Crowell though given Tate’s injury history they could see more opportunities down the road.

That said, this is Tate’s team and both rookies know that for sure after Sunday.
