    Browns LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah stood out for two reasons in the win against Jacksonville

    Cleveland Browns linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, known as "Wu" or "JOK," stood out from the crowd for two reasons in the Browns Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

    His goal-line stance against Travis Etienne stopped the Jaguars from scoring a touchdown.  They were forced to settle for a field goal.

    JOK led all Browns defenders with seven tackles on the day, six solo and one combined.  He also logged two tackles for a loss.

    It was a phenomenal performance, and he did it wearing the guardian cap.  He is the only Browns player to wear the guardian cap designed to reduce the potential for head trauma for players.  The NFL has encouraged players to wear the cap for the first time this season in games, but few have done so thus far.  Tua Tagovailoa's concussion in the Miami Dolphins vs. Buffalo Bills game serves as a reminder of how terrifying it is to see a player get a concussion.

    Denzel Ward, the Cleveland Browns cornerback, has five concussions going into his seventh NFL season.  He serves as a reminder to his teammates.

    As for Owusu-Koramoah, he said that Tua and Denzel's issues did not affect his decision.  He took a hit in Week 1 that did not feel good, giving him reason to wear it in the game.  JOK plans to continue wearing the cap in games "until it feels like it's not beneficial to me."
