Browns quarterback Josh McCown broke his collarbone, out for season

Cleveland linebacker Karlos Dansby picked off Schaub and returned it 52 yards for a TD in the third quarter to give the Browns a 20-17 lead, the first time they’ve been ahead in a game since the first half against Arizona on November 1 – a span of more than 173 minutes. Defensive end Brent Urban blocked the kick, and Hill scooped it up and sprinted down the left sideline for the touchdown.

It was a uplifting 33-27 win for the Ravens, who have seen all their games this year be decided by a touchdown or less. “Will Hill didn’t do a very good job in coverage. That was just a thing of beauty”, he said. That is a big blow to the Browns because McCown was supposed to have finished the season as the starter.

Last week, offensive coordinator John DeFilippo said he supported the decision to bench Manziel “100 percent”, but admitted it wasn’t easy because the quarterback has played well.

The quarterback had thrown for 212 yards and a touchdown before the injury occurred after he was hit hard by Timmy Jernigan, and it was visible straight away that he was in serious pain. Undrafted and relatively inexperienced quarterback Austin Davis filled in admirably, throwing a game-tying touchdown pass late in the fourth quarter.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Josh McCown is out for the season with a broken collarbone.

Josh McCown is done being battered around this season.

The Ravens final five games are against the Miami Dolphins, Seattle Seahawks, Kansas City Chiefs, Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cincinnati Bengals in order.

The Browns and Titans are tied for the worst record in the AFC, and with last night’s loss, Cleveland will finish the season with a sub-.500 record even if it wins out the remainder of its schedule. Will Davis‘ near-heroic comeback in relief of McCown earn him a further look? He started the game at left corner and made one tackle.

McCown has been extremely injury prone this season as he has missed four games already thanks to a concussion and shoulder and rib injuries.

-TE Gary Barnidge caught seven passes for 91 yards.

Manziel had spent several weeks this offseason attending a rehab facility as he attempted to get his life and his professional career back in some semblance of order.
