Cleveland Browns take on Oakland Raiders, Josh McCown to start

What about the Patriots with Brady, or the Colts when they had Manning?

If he does so, his chance to prove his worth will surely come again this year.

So that’s what passed for consolation for McCown.

Running backs – DeAngelo Williams, Steelers (77/3); Adrian Peterson, Vikings (134/0 plus 58 receiving yards); Jamaal Charles, Chiefs (125/1); Gio Bernard, Bengals (123/0). He caught five passes for 88 yards and two TDs. It was his first touchdown since November 24, 2013 at Green Bay. “It was something we kind of stumbled onto last year and even this year”.

Marcus Mariota finally has been intercepted in the National Football League, and it was returned for a touchdown.

McCown went 7-for-15 for 104 yards in the half.

The Cleveland Browns defeated the Tennessee Titans, 28-14, last week. It will be broadcast on CBS in Oakland and Cleveland, as well as other select areas throughout the country.

Sebastian Janikowski had given the visitors a first-quarter lead from a field goal before Carr landed a three-yard pass to Andre Holmes in the endzone. Their team will need to force Derek Carr into mistakes in the passing game. “We had the first two at home”. Justin Gilbert, active for the game, was off the field.

A corner of the field in caught fire during the Rams pre-game pyrotechnics show while introducing the starters. This marks the first time since sacks became an official stat that the Raiders failed to record one in the first two games. After rumors were swirling about some of the Browns coaching staff wanting to part ways with Bowe last week, the writing is on the wall for the wide receiver’s potential departure. Carr was sacked just once against the Ravens, though his backup Matt McGloin went down twice against Cincinnati after replacing Carr (hand injury) in Week 1. They had not won in Cleveland since 1985. Josh McCown was knocked out of the opening contest, which gave way to Johnny Manziel.

As for the play on which he got hurt, McCown said if he could do it over differently, he would.

DeMarco Murray is a no-go for the Philadelphia Eagles.

McCown will be attempting to get the Browns off to their best start since 2011 as he faces the team for which he started nine games in 2007.

Ryan Mathews will start in Murray’s place. After two weeks of play, there has been signs of progress, but the Browns are still struggling in certain areas.

Decker suffered a sprained left knee against the Colts and hasn’t practiced since. The Browns’ fans should be thanking Geno Smith and the Redskins for their misfortunes; otherwise their team would be the laughingstock of the league. He has experience, deep knowledge of Cleveland’s offense, the respect of his teammates and he performed well during a 17-play, 90-yard drive that unfortunately ended with him launching himself into the air and taking a helmet-to-helmet blow.
