“There have been multiple games where it’s come down to this, where it’s come down to those guys”, Turbin said, via RantSports.com. “We set a tone early and were able to pretty well control things from there”. The Browns finished the game with 11 penalties for 98 yards.

“We came in determined to be the difference in the game, ” McDonald said.
Cleveland ultimately punted the ball back to St. Louis, which scored a touchdown on the ensuing possession to take a double-digit lead it would not relinquish.
“Giving up six points is great”, McLeod said. “You can’t ask for anything more than that”.
Johnny Manziel got mop-up duty for the Browns (2-5) after McCown left for the locker room favoring his right shoulder with about four minutes left.
Barnidge has established himself as McCown’s go-to target on offense, and has earned that role by making catches on every ball thrown his way. “I saw a little crack-back (block) out of the corner of my eye”.
“I’ll be alright. I’m not going to comment anymore on that”.
Manziel said he will be ready if the team needs him Sunday against Arizona. The league is looking into whether he violated its personal conduct policy.
Manziel admitted drinking alcohol a few hours before his argument with Crowley, who police said was intoxicated. Manziel told police he did not strike Crowley.
Manziel denied striking Crowley, was not arrested and the couple was allowed to leave together.
Thomas was seen talking with one of the officials about the call.
“We were just fighting out of holes all day”, Browns quarterback Josh McCown said.
Tampa Bay (2-4) was up 24-0 in the second quarter, before Cousins ran for an 8-yard TD to get Washington (3-4) on the board.
Marshawn Lynch scored a spectacular touchdown, jumping the pile for a one yard score, and overall ran for 122 yards, although the most memorable moment for many about Lynch’s performance on Thursday may have been when he vomited on the sidelines in the first half.
The 21-year-old, who still is recovering from offseason knee surgery, is looking to join former Ram Eric Dickerson as the only rookies in National Football League history to rush for at least 140 yards in three straight contests.
But that does not solve the problem, and it is a huge part of the reason the Browns are ranked no. 30 in total defense, allowing 417.8 yards per game. Browns WR Andrew Hawkins (concussion) left the game in the fourth quarter and didn’t return…. The team fumbled on its first two drives, one of which was returned for a touchdown. The Browns played terribly in St. Louis on Sunday, losing 24-6 to the Rams.
Now, at the half the Rams lead the Browns 10-3, but once again missed opportunities will continue to haunt the St. Louis offense.

Coming off a bye, the Raiders looked quicker and more efficient. Josh McCown completed 20 of 39 passes for 213 yards and two touchdowns against two interceptions. They have given up four or more sacks in five games this season, false start penalties have them looking like a junior varsity team and the miscommunications are coming at the worst times.
