For the Rams, they had higher scoring second halves, outscoring their opponents 33-28.<\/p>\n<p>The Rams&#8217; 23-22 win against the Chargers came down to their final possession. With 1:28 left in the game, the Rams were trailing 22-17. QB Stetson Bennett IV led the Rams down the field to score a touchdown with five seconds left, taking a one-point lead and securing the win.<\/p>\n<p>Against the Cowboys, the Rams were out to a 14-6 lead by the time the second half started, however, they didn&#8217;t let off the gas. The Rams scored 17 more points, including two fourth quarter touchdowns, as the Cowboys put up 15 points in the fourth quarter trying to rally back.<\/p>\n<p>For the Browns, the final 30 minutes of the Eagles game were important after being down 13-12 coming out of halftime. Henry&#8217;s pick-six and a field goal by K Andre Szmyt put the Browns on top.<\/p>\n<p>Against a Rams team that has pulled away and rallied late in games, the Browns need to have that same offensive precision. On the other side of the ball, the Browns&#8217; defense needs to show they can slow down a Rams&#8217; offense that has proven they can compete in second half shootouts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In the second half of the Browns&#8217; two preseason games, they outscored the Panthers and Eagles 26-3.
