Gary Barnidge mades unbelievable touchdown catch using thighs in Browns
This game exorcised a seven-game losing streak in Baltimore and kicked the rival Ravens into the division cellar with a 1-4 record, their worst-ever after five games. Defensively, the Ravens yield 242.2 yards in passing and 104.2 yards in rushing. Josh McCown! After Sunday’s 457-yard outing – which, yes, was a franchise record – McCown’s season stats look like this: 102.8 passer rating, 67.8 completion percentage, 6:1 TD-to-INT ratio. Here are a few excerpts of what fans had to say regarding yesterday’s overtime loss to the Cleveland Browns at home and the 4th loss of the season. Haden is in the concussion protocol.

All hope is about gone, fading with Travis Coons’ game-winning, 32-yard field goal in sudden-death overtime. The San Francisco 49ers ground game is averaging 129 yards per contest, and Carlos Hyde leads the way with 375 yards and three touchdowns.
McCown has thrown for an NFL-high 1,154 yards in the past three games, the most in Browns history over a three-game stretch.
The offensive lineman took a jab at the Browns fanbase that wants to see Johnny Manziel at quarterback. Charles missed 14 games of the 2011 season when he suffered a torn ACL in his left knee playing against the Lions in Detroit.
McCown had a franchise-record 457 passing yards as the Cleveland offense put up 505 yards of total offense on the Ravens’ defense in the overtime win. Those facts were reinforced when Ravens running back Javorius Allen broke loose for a 44-yard run off the left side.
The Browns whittled the Ravens’ lead down to 21-16 with 7:47 left in the third quarter when McCown scrambled to his left for a 10-yard touchdown run on first-and-goal. Barnidge entered this season wearing the label of a blocking tight end, having never caught more than 13 passes in any season, with 242 yards receiving in 2009 being his best effort, to go with two touchdown catches in 2013.
While Beckham’s catch is like watching someone snatch a lightning bolt out of the air, Barnidge’s feat needs to be seen in slow motion to appreciate his ball concentration and his awareness to make sure it and he cross the goal line before being touched by an opposing player.
McCown then rallied the Browns with a 10-yard touchdown run on the ensuing drive.
Barnidge became the first Browns tight end to tally a touchdown catch in three consecutive games since Ozzie Newsome in 1983. Veteran receiver Kamar Aiken filled in for Smith as the top option at receiver, but only caught four passes for 78 yards and dropped what would have been a wide-open touchdown pass from Flacco. Everybody said, ‘Oh, their offense is going to be terrible. The final score of that game, by the way, was 33-30 in overtime.
Instead, he tripped twice as Hawkins got the first down, and the Browns kicked a 37-yard field goal as the half ended.
Rodgers was 19 of 30 for 241 yards with long scoring strikes to receivers Ty Montgomery and James Jones, but threw two interceptions.
It might be the ideal opportunity for fans to reevaluate what sort of group they have in this release of the Cleveland Browns.
The two point conversion was important as the Ravens were able to march down into field goal range.
The turnovers wasted another strong effort by Rams rookie Todd Gurley, who ran for 159 yards on 30 carries. They reached the end zone the first time on the work of their defense. They have too many holes, so he might as well start preparing his National Football League draft board.
Shelton has potential, but he has to play under control, particularly late in the game.

“There’s always a chance with Steve Smith”, Harbaugh said. He has no touchdown passes, no interceptions.
