Ajayi scores in overtime, Miami tops Cleveland 30-24
He’s the first player since Billy Kilmer in 1964 to throw three passes, catch three and have three carries. With 144 receiving yards, 35 passing yards and 21 rushing yards, Pryor became the first player since Hall of Famer Frank Gifford in 1959 to put together a statline like that.
He’ll have to hustle – Miami plays again Thursday at Cincinnati (1-2).
Unfortunately for Cleveland, Cody Parkey, another former Auburn standout, pulled a 46-yard field-goal attempt wide left, and Miami took a 30-24 victory in overtime.
Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase has coached three games in his National Football League career, and he is not wasting time delivering a message to his players.
But that result didn’t diminish what Lemonier did, Cleveland coach Hue Jackson said. “He’s capable of doing a lot”.
Cleveland started Cody Kessler at quarterback, making him the third player in as many weeks to hold that job for the Browns.
I didnt have any discussion with him, he said.
“It’s awesome but learning quarterback, running back, receiver, it takes a lot of mental gymnastics to be able to go out there and do it the right way”, left tackle Joe Thomas said on Wednesday. “He really put the offense on his back when he got the opportunity”.
The Miami Dolphins have always been Donnie’s favorite team, and we were sitting with Matt Darr’s wife, Lauren, who is my best friend’s daughter. And unlike a year ago, were he to hit the open market now, the Browns certainly wouldn’t be the only interested suitor. One year later, he looks like he’s been playing the position his entire life. When I’m at home, it makes me want to tear up sometimes. “This is one of the best coaching staffs I’ve ever been a part of, that’s coached me”. “I lost that focus for a second”.
“The only difference, I think, is confidence”, Thomas said.
I spent some time with him at his house and at the awesome gold course he had in his backyard.
Added guard Jermon Bushrod: “They’re going to make whatever decisions they want to make, they need to make”. We have to get a win this week. Maxwell allowed several completions to Terrelle Pryor, but defended a long pass attempt to Pryor in the first quarter, broke up what would have been a touchdown pass to Pryor at the end of the first half, smothered Pryor on a third-down route in the fourth quarter and broke up another pass intended for Pryor with less than a minute in regulation. A pass would have risked Kessler being sacked and backed up out of field-goal range, but the Browns would have had plenty of time to call a timeout after a running play. His first completion since December 29, 2013.
“Yes, but I don’t have a great answer for you right now until I go back and take a look at the film”, said Gase when asked about his team’s struggles on both sides of the ball during the game and the blown fourth quarter lead.
Reinforcements Coming in Gordon, Bryant?: After Sunday’s game with the Redskins, WR Josh Gordon and DL Armonty Bryant are able to return to the practice field and resume playing in Week 5 against the Patriots.
