Quarterback Johnny Manziel active as Browns host Ravens
The game will be broadcast live on ESPN and WKYC Channel 3 with kickoff at 8:30 p.m.
“It’s surreal”, said a beaming Urban, a fourth-round pick in 2014. The Browns benched Johnny Manziel, though he’s active, and will start Josh McCown.
The Ravens come in after a costly week 11 that saw them win the game, but lose Joe Flacco for the season to a torn ACL. Johnny Manziel was named the starting quarterback for the rest of the year, but he immediately threw away his shot when a video surfaced of him partying during the bye week, one that he reportedly lied to his coaches about.
But you should really watch the game, because all these people worked really hard on it. It’s a fair point – it’s not their fault the Browns and Ravens are bad.
The Browns and Ravens face off on Monday night in Cleveland.
Not for the Browns (2-9), who rallied to tie it behind backup quarterback Austin Davis in the closing minutes only to suffer an excruciating loss.
But as Cleveland attempted to get closer for Coons, Davis wasted valuable time because of a communication issue with the sideline and the QB couldn’t get out of bounds after a scramble, forcing the Browns to call a timeout.
Meanwhile, cornerback Justin Gilbert will start for the first time this season and just the third time since the Browns drafted him eighth overall previous year.
SPECIAL SPECIAL TEAMS: The Ravens got two TDs on special teams and have now blocked a punt or field goal in five consecutive games.
In addition to Haden and Desir, left guard Joel Bitonio (sprained ankle), wide receivers Andrew Hawkins (concussion) and Taylor Gabriel (concussion), defensive lineman Randy Starks (knee) and safety Don Jones will be inactive. Both teams are fighting to stay out of the bottom of the division. “We scored two touchdowns on special teams and that’s an incredible thing”.
