McCown, who had a finger on his throwing hand X-rayed after the game, played the entire first half against the Bills and finished just seven-of-10 for 57 yards, two interceptions on poorly thrown passes, and three sacks.

Ron Schwane/APJohnny Manziel is starting to look like the quarterback the Browns hoped for.Johnny Manziel’s future with the Cleveland Browns is looking up after two quietly solid preseason games. “But again, our thoughts on the quarterback picture are the same this morning as they were going into last night”. That might have been more of a function of the circumstances of the game and who he was out there with. Manziel was sacked once and rushed three times for 19 yards.
The Bills are still trying find their answer at quarterback.
It has been more than a decade since either the Buffalo Bills or Cleveland Browns were in the playoffs, but it may not be long before that streak comes to an end. “So, it’s an even battle”. It is still a game-by-game thing so I have to continue to keep doing, but just I think my overall game… Great guys both on and off the field. He showed good pocket awareness and pretty much only ran as a last resort.
Your quarterback could be Josh McCown. “That’s what I want to do”. With or without C Alex Mack, they are a bad match-up for us. Right now it appears Tyrod has the edge but time will tell.
Ryan said: “We may know, but why would we say any different?” The Bills scored all 24 points in the middle two quarters and they held the football for better than 37 minutes. It’s clear why the Bills wanted a player like McCoy to help compensate for a lack of a star quarterback. “I think all those years that I spent in Baltimore being behind Joe (Flacco) prepared me for this opportunity that I have now and I’m taking everything that I’ve learned previously and I’m putting it towards my game”.
Rex Ryan seemed happy with how both quarterbacks played but said he would leave a final decision until the first week of the season. “And a fourth one [in Matt Simms] if we ever give him a shot”. Ross, a 2007 first-round pick of the New York Giants, missed all of 2014 with the Baltimore Ravens because of an Achilles tendon injury.
