There is good news for Cleveland, in that the Indians are on the verge of clinching the AL Central and the National Basketball Association champion Cavaliers open training camp this week. Naturally, Pryor also ran the ball four times for 21 yards, delivering Cleveland’s only rushing score.

It took overtime and some good fortune, but the Miami Dolphins have their first win of the season.
Jay Ajayi ran 11 yards for the winning touchdown after the teams had traded punts to start overtime.
“Whatever it takes, man”, Pryor said. “I’ve watched these guys around here bleed and cry and to see them celebrate the way they did was just great to see”.
The game was the only one in the National Football League between 0-2 teams, and looked it. “We just got pinned back there”. “Like I always say, each and every week that is the team that we have to prepare for – we have to prepare for the team that we could potentially get, not the team whose record is 0-2”.
Despite never being able to stick with a team over an extended period of time, Whitehurst will potentially get to throw more passes in the NFL. He also caught a one-handed eight yard pass before a 46-yard field goal. Or that he went in for one play as a safety in the prevent defense at the end of the first half.
According to ESPN Stats and Info, Pryor is the first player since the AFL-NFL merger to have at least three passing attempts, three rushing attempts, and three receptions in a single game. As luck would have it, Murray hurt his non-kicking left knee in a Browns’ walk-thru practice session on Friday, and the team signed Parkey on Saturday. Officials removed Browns QB Cody Kessler from the game at one point to go through a concussion protocol. Cody Parkey missed three field goals for Cleveland, including a potential game victor as time expired in regulation.
Jackson, who drafted Pryor as a quarterback in 2011 in Oakland and then gave him another shot at the position last offseason in Cincinnati, knew he could put a lot on his plate.
Parkey blamed himself, though. But when all was said and done, the Ravens won the game 25-20.
“It’s my first time kicking with the snap and holder here”, Parkey said. “They got to pull me off this damn field”, Pryor said.
Despite losing starters along both the offensive and defensive lines and a top receiving target, not to mention going on his third starting quarterback in three weeks, Browns coach Hue Jackson isn’t blinking.
Pryor scored on a 3-yard TD run in the second half after temporarily replacing injured rookie quarterback Cody Kessler, who returned to convert a two-point try with a pass to tight end Gary Barnidge.
The Browns have given up multiple explosive returns over the first two weeks of the season, and in response to those plays, they have placed an added emphasis on speed heading into today’s game against the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium.

“We come out here in our first game and showcase to our home fans what we’re about, and offensively we’re out there flopping it around”, said Gase, who was in no celebratory mood afterward.
