Carson Palmer tossed three touchdown passes and Arizona’s defense forced six turnovers as the Cardinals cruised past the winless Detroit Lions 42-17 on Sunday afternoon at Ford Field. McCown would record his ten yard touchdown run with 1:06 remaining in the first quarter to cut the ravens lead down to 21-16.

CB Will Davis (knee), who was acquired from the Dolphins last month for 2016 seventh-round draft pick, was sidelined in the second quarter against the Browns and did not return.
Rob Carr/Getty Images Gary Barnidge scores an improbable touchdown for the Browns on Sunday. Two plays later, McCown scrambled 10 yards for a touchdown. It made him the quarterback with the most wins in the team’s history. Kaepernick has two touchdown passes in his last three games.
The Ravens seized a 21-9 advantage with 7:47 left in the third quarter when Flacco plunged into the end zone on third-and-goal from the 1. “I’m trying to go one for one every time I step onto the field, and at the end of the season, I’ll go back and look at the stats and see”.
For his part, McCown isn’t getting caught up in his recent success.
As the game continued, however, McCown adjusted to the pressure and stayed in the pocket. Other than said game, in which the Browns rushed for 116 yards, they’ve been unable to get anything consistent going.
The Cleveland Browns rallied from a 12-point second-half deficit, and a Travis Coons field goal in overtime completed the comeback as the Browns notched a 33-30 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. Flip has kept a few of the zone concepts in the running game but added gap concepts to it, to be able to have their linemen attack at the opponent as opposed to winning in space and position.
Facing a mid-level Ravens’ running defense, Cleveland only managed 83 yards rushing.
“No way. Our coaches are doing a great job”, he said. Smith leads the Ravens with 29 receptions for 373 yards with two touchdowns. And who among us thinks the Browns get a chance to win in overtime if he doesn’t get injured? Those facts were reinforced when Ravens running back Javorius Allen broke loose for a 44-yard run off the left side. The score granted the Ravens a 27-22 lead. That left Justin Tucker to kick a 23-yard field goal with 25 seconds to go in regulation.
The Browns are better for having McCown, especially the last three weeks. “Give the Browns credit”.
Three days shy of his 23 birthday, Kosar put on a performance that inspired Steelers coach Chuck Noll to concede, “It looks like they’ve got something there”. After that possession, the Chicago offense did not progress past its own 28-yard line for the rest of the first half. Forsett has 37 yards, 11 carries, no touchdowns. McCown passes the ball a lot, but most of the issue is an inability to contain speed rushers. He understands the run game.
Let’s talk about the issues that continue to plague the Browns on defense. On runs to the right side, tackle Mitchell Schwartz could not seal the edge, forcing the Browns’ backs into the teeth of the Ravens’ inside linebackers. Both of his touchdowns have come against his hometown Browns.
Just for reference, seven times in his career Brandon Weeden was asked to throw 40 or more times.
But to the first-year National Football League kicker, there was nothing different about the attempt that delivered the Browns to their first victory against the Ravens in Baltimore since their 33-30 overtime win during the 2007 season.
Interestingly enough, both of the runs were out of the shotgun.

More plays like this out of the Browns rookie would certainly help a defense that is still looking for answers five weeks into the season.
