Browns confirm Josh McCown is out for the season
It’s the Browns. And they’re now tied with the Titans for the worst record in football. The kick was blocked and returned for a game-winning touchdown by the Ravens as time expired.
Cleveland’s Travis Coons lined up to kick a potential game-winning 51-yard field goal with 3 seconds to go. But the Ravens defense isn’t almost as good as Cincinnati’s who will visit the Browns this week. Hill scooped it up and rumbled down the left sideline for an improbable win, stunning the Browns (2-9) and a Cleveland crowd while a national TV audience watched. After a sustained drive from the Ravens took more than eight minutes off the field, McCown lasted just two more throws before being relieved by Austin Davis. He failed to get out of bounds on a run, forcing the team to call a timeout, and Davis had trouble with the communication device in his helmet, leading to confusion and wasting precious seconds.
“I heard somebody saying up top that (offensive coordinator John DeFilippo) was cutting out”, Pettine said after the game. Ideally, we wanted to get it closer and save the timeout for the field goal.
Like the team’s wide receivers, the Ravens can’t get separation.
The Browns have all kinds of problems but the quarterback position is not one of them.
Josh McCown dropped to the ground in excruciating pain. He fired a 16-yarder to Travis Benjamin and followed with his first touchdown pass in more than a year, a 42-yard deep ball down the middle of the field for Benjamin. Pryor, who initially made the Browns’ 53-man roster until he was released before the season started, will continue to play receiver. “I just felt it [hit] and took off running”. They’ve needed saving for a lot of the past 25 years of time of time, if we are being trustworthy, still now greater than ever, the fans need one thing – anything – positive to grab onto.
Citing a league source, Cleveland Plain-Dealer beat writer Mary Kay Cabot reported after the game that Josh McCown had possibly suffered a broken collarbone in the loss, leaving FirstEnergy Stadium with his right arm in a sling. McCown missed the following week’s game, a 28-14 win over the Tennessee Titans, but quickly returned to the lineup after clearing the NFL Concussion Protocol.
On one dramatic, unforgettable play, the two Ravens achieved their goals.
On Monday night, Pettine couldn’t tell reporters what the Browns’ plan would be.
That is a 2.43 per carry average if you are scoring at home. The reason Davis played was because 2014 first-round pick Johnny Manziel was demoted to third string for Week 12 after reportedly lying about partying in public on the Browns’ bye.
It’s the Cleveland way.
