Another Browns fumble, this time by McCown when he was sacked by defensive end William Hayes, was recovered by linebacker Akeem Ayers at the Cleveland 25.
The Browns announced that McCown was out with a right shoulder injury. This is the third straight year that Browns QB Josh McCown will face St. Louis. After going 1-2 in three consecutive games against teams with winning records, the Rams have just three opponents now with winning records the rest of the way.
Cleveland Browns rank at 12 for scoring 23.5 points where as St. Louis Rams rank at 13 for allowing 22.6 scores. Gurley then trotted untouched around the left edge for his first career touchdown. Quarterback Nick Foles has been all over the field with his throws and the team has yet to convert a third down, now 0 for 5 on the afternoon. Rams red-hot running back Todd Gurley has rushed for at least 145 rushing yards in each of the last two games, coming against the Arizona Cardinals and Green Bay Packers. McCown said he was hurt on the second sack/fumble when he was hit on the elbow.
“I am definitely going to have my family, cousins, friends, a few high-school teachers actually, and a few coaches”, Desir said with a smile. “The way we started the game, we were just fighting out of holes all day”. He played seven of the season’s first eight quarters after McCown suffered a concussion. “I looked at the tape and I saw what I needed to work on and I am ready to progress this week”.

Following a big hit by cornerback Janoris Jenkins, safety Rodney McLeod scooped up the loose ball and returned it 20 yards for a touchdown about three minutes in. Perhaps the biggest was a holding call on Joe Thomas late in the third that wiped out a 38-yard catch by Travis Benjamin that would have set the Browns up on the Rams 21 with a chance to take the lead. They have also allowed the most rushing yards in total with 899, more than double the yardage total allowed by the team with the fewest rushing yards allowed (New York Jets).
