McCown breaks collarbone, out for season
In games in which McCown started and played at least three quarters, the Browns were 1-6.
Pettine said he was not ready to name a starting quarterback for Sunday, when the Browns (2-9) will host the Cincinnati Bengals (9-2). “I said, ‘If we get a block and it bounced my way, I’m going to take it to the end zone”.
Manziel started the Browns Week 10 game against the Steelers and completed 33 of 45 passes for 372 yards with a touchdown an interception in the loss. Manziel was being punished for reportedly lying to the team about when a video of him partying took place. A former Ohio State star and Oakland quarterback, Pryor will join the struggling Browns – as a wide receiver – for the remainder of this season, said the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because the team has not announced the signing.
This season of injury upon injury for the Ravens finally includes a break worth celebrating.
“That play with Benjamin, I should have been right there, but I was locked in with someone else” Hill said about the touchdown pass. “I was praying though”. Davis did lead the Browns to the game-tying touchdown, and the Cleveland defense got him the ball with just under a minute to play after intercepting Matt Schaub.
Cabot reported that even if McCown’s collarbone isn’t broken, the source said it is likely serious enough that his season is over.
Will the Browns stand by their decision to make Manziel ride the bench because of his off-field problems? The obvious answer would have been Johnny Manziel.
McCown went 1-8 as the Browns starting quarterback this season. Then, four years later, the National Football League awarded Cleveland another team, also called the Browns, and since then, the organization has won a paltry 32.2 percent of its games while making the playoffs one time.
Pettine demoted him to third string, saying the 22-year-old had violated the team’s trust.
The frustration, of course, is all tied to another devastating Browns’ loss on Monday Night Football.
NOTES: Pettine said CB Justin Gilbert is in the NFL’s concussion protocol after sustaining a head injury while returning a kickoff against the Ravens…. The kick was blocked and returned 64 yards for a touchdown by Ravens safety Will Hill as time ran out. McCown’s quarterback rating is 93.3.
