Then, after a defensive stop, the Browns found a way to draw even with Washington when wide receiver Terrelle Pryor hauled in a nine-yard touchdown pass from rookie quarterback Cody Kessler midway through the second quarter. It was an interesting decision, asking a sixth-round pick to carry the ball at a key point of the game for the first time in his career. The 22 carries were a season high as well.

So in four games, the Browns have had three quarterbacks and three centers, a troubling scenario for any team to handle never mind one as inexperienced as the Browns. Cousins connected with Reed for 8- and 9-yard touchdowns, Chris Thompson for a 5-yard score, and running back Matt Jones scored from 1 yard out as part of his 117-yard performance.
Did you know that this isn’t allowed in the NFL? “And he was more decisive today and more physical”.
Quarterback Kirk Cousins had a bounce back game, finishing with almost 300 yards passing and two touchdowns. “And I think the ref was still trying to find out where the ball was and Duke was yelling at me, ‘It’s right here, hey, I’ve got it right here'”. One of their targets was Terrelle Pryor, a source told NESN.com off the record a year ago. That’s going to happen. He threw an interception in the fourth quarter and the Redskins converted it into a touchdown, but for most of the day he showed poise. Both drives ended with touchdowns.
Another slow start begs the question, Where to go from here?
Taylor intercepted a pass Cousins intended for wide receiver Jamison Crowder and returned it 29 yards to Washington’s 12.
“Yes it was (disciplinary), but we move on from here”.
“It’s kind of hard to tackle a guy like me, ” said Jones, whose next test is at the Baltimore Ravens (3-1) next Sunday. “I get my assignment”. “I can yell and scream and do whatever, but it’s not going to change the call”. “We’re going to do things right and that’s what’s important”.
Cody Kessler found Pryor in the end zone to tie the game midway through the second quarter. But the Browns would commit three turnovers in their latest loss.
On the offense, Washington is averaging 22.7 points and 406.3 yards per game.

Jackson said Thomas told him the play couldn’t be reviewed, just another bad break for the Browns, who can’t seem to catch a good one.
