With the Pittsburgh Steelers’s victory last night, Cleveland is now trailing everybody else in the AFC North as the lone team in the division to fail to win their opening contest, which they dropped facing the quarterback drafted from the second-overall position that they traded away to the Eagles.

Sidelined for a minimum of eight games and perhaps longer after breaking the coracoid bone in his left shoulder in Sundays opener at Philadelphia, Griffin is nonetheless determined to overcome an unexpected obstacle.
Also, since the Browns will now have just two quarterbacks on the roster for an extended period of time, they will need to search for a free agent to sign in the near future if they cannot work out a trade. Oh, and the Eagles won this past Sunday, so there’s that.
The Browns are still looking – usually in the wrong places.
“As vendors get licensed in the college market to carry Carson Wentz items, we’ll be more than happy to add to what we now have”, says Sivertson. “I have always been part of the saying, ‘Next man up.’ It is real in this league”. He’s going to get the ball out quickly and put the game in the hands of his receivers. “We have to move on to the next guy and keep going”.
Wentz was supposed to start the season on the bench and learn in his first year, however the Eagles decided that the rookie was ready when they traded their former quarterback Sam Bradford to the Minnesota Vikings for a first round pick and a fourth round pick.
Wentz completed 22 of 37 passes for 278 yards and two touchdowns in a 29-10 win over the Browns.
On Monday, there is only one game on the schedule, as the Philadelphia Eagles take to the road to face the Chicago Bears. “He just made throws he needed to make”. “Plus, we’re so busy, you don’t have time to really get caught up in too much other stuff”.
This is familiar territory for Griffin, whose tenure in Washington was defined by injuries.
Wentz missed the Eagles’ final three preseason games with a rib injury and entered September as their third-string quarterback.
Chief Robert White said he met with Marshall after being approached by Broncos management. Obviously the work their coaching staff has done with him, through the OTAs and training camp was time very well spent. “We just can’t risk putting him back out there right now with any kind of contact on that shoulder”. Pederson said there’s still a chance both can play Monday night against the Bears.
Previous year was the ideal example of what McCown brings to the Browns. I don’t need to wait until a game like this, where the emotions run high, to express that thought.
After a week that included a shout-out from the president, the Eagles want to make sure the rookie QB stays grounded.
