Browns name Johnny Manziel starter for rest of season
Manziel played the best game of his career in the loss to the Steelers while passing for 372 yards and a touchdown with one interception, but it would be a stretch to say he is suddenly better than McCown. McCown has nothing to prove, and he would serve better to help mentor Manziel this year and next.
Louis Rams prepared to play the Chicago Bears Sunday, a thick rubberized surface covered the concrete.
For Cleveland, they haven’t tasted victory in Pittsburgh since 2003. The Browns (2-8) had hoped to get that kind of performance earlier from the 2012 Heisman Trophy victor, who followed a rough rookie season by spending 70 days in a rehab facility for an unspecified condition.
Roethlisberger was 22 for 33 for 379 yards and three touchdowns.
Unlike in the Browns’ 31-10 loss to the Bengals, Manziel stayed in the pocket more against the Steelers, went through his reads and threw to open receivers.
“He perked up at the very latter part of the week”, coach Mike Tomlin said. It begins with Antonio Brown. The man is simply fantastic.
“There is nothing that I want more for this team and for this city than to be successful”.
Sunday against the Browns, Nix registered his first career reception and it came on the first play of the game and resulted in a 10-yard gain.
— Browns owner Jimmy Haslam told two Cleveland reporters that there will be no changes in his coaching staff during the Browns bye week this week.
Seven plays later Brown turned a short pass from Roethlisberger into a 56-yard touchdown, the All-Pro flipping into the end zone and sticking the landing that would have left world champion vaulter – and Internet meme legend – McKayla Maroney impressed. The Steelers had to adjust by operating out of the shotgun and no-huddle so Roethlisberger did not put a lot of strain on his foot.
NASHVILE, Tenn. – Cam Newton completed 21 of 26 passes for 217 yards and one touchdown as unbeaten Carolina extended its best start ever with a win over Tennessee.
A freaky game wound up ending just as we thought it would.
Following the game, Sansavera went outside, dug a hole, and buried his Browns jersey. Forgotten in those two’s success is Markus Wheaton. The #2 receiver before Bryant burst onto the scene, he did have two receptions last Sunday but for just 18 yards. His QBR was only 40.5, but he started to show that he is capable of making big throws and is also more reliable, as opposed to when he would try to force every throw. “But I think I could have gone back in and played”. The Steelers now have 28 sacks on the season, which ranks fourth in the National Football League and almost matches their total of 33 in 2014.
Chris Boswell hit all three of his extra point attempts but went one of two on field goal shots.
They just shoved them four yards into the backfield. The good news is it looks like Williams did not suffer any setbacks with his sore foot heading into the much needed bye week. “Guys did their job and we were able to make plays and get off the field”.
For the poor Cleveland Browns faithful, it is yet another lost season that will finish without a playoff appearance. The last time Cleveland made it into the post-season was 2002, 13 long years ago.
The disappointing statistic doesn’t stop Browns fans from cheering on their team against the black and gold.
