Cleveland Browns: Week 11 National Football League power rankings
The Browns struggled once again to give their offense decent field position to start their drives.
“You know, I was just kind of disturbed by some of it”, Tomlin said of Sunday’s officiating during his weekly news conference, moved one day ahead because of the Steelers’ Thanksgiving night game in Indianapolis.
Cody Kessler sustained a concussion – his second this season – late in the third quarter.
It’s possible the Browns could have Robert Griffin III back at some point.
“It is a tough, tough time for us”, McCown said.
McCown took over for Kessler in the game with the Steelers and lost the ball on a strip sack.
Harrison, who was cut three times by the Steelers and once by the Ravens, grew up in Akron, Ohio, less than an hour away from FirstEnergy Stadium.
Griffin has been cleared to practice this week and will undergo another medical exam to see if he can take contact. “I’m talking about selfish in the fact that if you do your job and everyone else does their job, then everything will roll out the way you need it to”. “I could not tell you that it is not”. “With coach going for it, we have to put seven on the board”. In his first year with the Cleveland Browns, he has yet to pick up a victory. They are busting their tails. “I think sometimes, like most people, after the game in the heat of the moment, you’re a little frustrated and maybe you say some things you wish you hadn’t”.
“We had to come out and set the tone and get some type of foundation back”, Timmons said.
Prior to the win over the Browns, the Steelers had just 13 sacks on the entire season. After all, the game was played on a short week, which was even shorter for the team that had to travel.
Offensive tackle Joe Thomas, who was a popular name in the rumor mill to be traded around the deadline, spoke about the team’s decision to let center Alex Mack and offensive tackle Mitchell Schwartz walk in the offseason.
“I am going to be the calming voice and the calming leader that is going to get us through all of this, and we are going to understand that there is one way and it is kind of my way”, he said. But they were able to score on drives of 16, 16, and 15 plays because of Chris Boswell who was a flawless 3/3 on a day where kickers were far from ideal. I look at it and they had a good gameplan for some of the stuff that we were doing protection wise. “We haven’t been on the same page enough”.
Overall, Steelers linebackers accounted for 4.5 of the team’s eight sacks Sunday. He has 27 tackles, a sack and a fumble recovery in three games with the Browns.
Coming into the game against the Cleveland Browns, superstar quarterback Ben Roethlisberger knew that it was a must-win situation for the Pittsburgh Steelers, even though they were up against a team that has lost every single game thus far during the 2016 National Football League regular season. Jackson isn’t sure if Kessler suffered the concussion on Timmons’ blow or when his head hit the ground.
You can listen to the full interview here including the decision to go for a touchdown before the end of the half and his feelings on the n the running of Le’Veon Bell and James Harrison setting the Steelers all-time sack record. McCown completed 12-of-24 passes for 90 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in that game.
For all the problems the Pirates had with their rotation last season, this still meets the textbook definition of addition by subtraction. I am going to run through it. In his measly eight carries, Isaiah Crowell was hit in the backfield multiple times before he could even attempt to break the line of scrimmage.
However, Browns defensive back Briean Boddy-Calhoun was called for holding, giving Pittsburgh another chance.
