In a Week 1 matchup between of the most mediocre teams in football, the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Cleveland Browns at home with a 29-10 score.

Before the injury, Griffin struggled to consistently move the Browns’ offense down the field.
“Heartbroken”, McCown said of the news. We realize to win the game you can’t beat yourself. “And I think that two, I look at Chase Daniel and what he did with Alex Smith and how he was sort of that backbone for Alex, which he is for Carson”. Even the play itself just showed the fight that he had even late in the game, which is tough. Before McCown became the quarterback in 2015, the tight end had just 44 catches in six seasons, but last year with McCown as the quarterback, the tight end caught 79 passes for 1,043 yards and nine touchdowns, torching his combined career stats in just one year. “It is not anything that I am going to rush back into”, Griffin said. “I don’t really get into TV”.
Wentz, who was sidelined with a rib fracture after the August 11 preseason game, had a great afternoon as the starting QB, completing 22 of 37 passes for 278 yards and two touchdown passes. Most importantly he didn’t commit one turn over throughout the entire game. Griffin was evaluated on the sideline and finished the game, but in the testing Monday, the broken bone was revealed.
“This is where I can step in and help him and protect him and keep him out of that and keep him focused”, he said. I am very blessed to have an opportunity to play it. You are fighting to get every extra yard that you can. “There’s things that I could have done and things that I can learn from moving forward to when I actually get live game reps, whenever that may be”. When you look at it, it is kind of bang-bang. It is unfortunate. It is something that can’t happen in a game. It is in the heat of the moment, and in a competitive environment, it is hard to dial back that sometimes.
The win over the Browns was a good showing for both rookie QB and coach, but it was Cleveland and now teams will begin to have film on both their tendencies.
“If you don’t concentrate on your coverage with Kevin White, Alshon Jeffrey, Zach Miller, Eddie Royal and the rest of the guys, boy you could be giving up big plays to Jay Cutler”. It is a friend that is getting injured.
Ahh, Cleveland. A city spoiled by basketball success and enjoying a possible pennant chase on the baseball diamond is already embracing for a awful 2016 season.
“Without a doubt, there’s going to be a lot of excitement for me and for a lot of these guys playing prime time football”, Wentz said.

“If they’re not talking about you, then something’s wrong”, Pederson said.
