However, it’s also tough to believe Cleveland can win this game if he can’t provide the bulk of the scoring. The Browns will face off against a Broncos offense that looks like a shadow of their former selves.

Unlike recent seasons, Denver has relied upon its star-studded defense to secure its victories. According to Mike Klis, Ray has a sprained MCL.
The Green Bay Packers and Denver Broncos share much in common on the young season and in their upcoming schedule. “They didn’t score a touchdown”. A McCown fumble led to a Denver field goal.
The Broncos offense converted only 4 of 18 third downs. They escaped with a deficit of just 10 when the defense, after allowing a big Hillman run, forced Denver into a 51-yard field goal attempt near halftime that was missed.
“I don’t think we’re through”, Kubiak said.
McCown practiced this week despite a left ankle injury suffered in overtime, which could affect his mobility against a Broncos team that leads the National Football League with 22 sacks.
At this point it seems McCown only has eyes for Barnidge in the red zone. The rest of the Broncos were sprinting to what they thought was the new line of scrimmage in hopes of spiking the ball for a field goal try.
Kubiak has tried using the pistol formation to meld Manning’s ability to see the field while maintaining the concepts of the ground game. Desir, a second-year player out of Lindenwood, has started two of 10 career games and has 15 career tackles and six passes defensed. The tide of the game changed significantly, as Manning delivered another gift-wrapped interception that was returned for a touchdown by Dansby, who had gotten the better of him in the first quarter as well.
The Denver Broncos take on the Cleveland Browns today in a game on the NFL football schedule which sees on team rolling on an undefeated dominant streak and the other team still struggling with its quarterback situation in more ways than one. Denver did their best two minute drill, but overtime came after a Sanders catch on the field was overturned and ruled incomplete which took the Broncos out of field goal range.
“Anytime you can rush the passer the way they do, you have to be able to establish a few type of run”.
The Broncos possess a championship defense, but an offense that continues to create questions.
After the Talib pick-six, the remainder of the first half for both teams was very quiet.
The Broncos had the chance to put a further three points on the board just before the break, but McManus sent his kick from 51 yards wide of the posts. One Cleveland possession beginning at the Browns 35 ended in a three-and-out and one that started at the Browns 48 ended with a strip sack by Broncos linebacker Shaq Barrett. The offense finally found their footing on the first drive of the second half, with McCown hitting TE Gary Barnidge for an 11-yard touchdown pass to make it a 10-7 game.
Are the Cleveland Browns for real or not?

That’s right, Josh McCown set a franchise regular season record for passing yards in a thrilling 33-30 overtime win for the Browns (2-3) over the Ravens in Baltimore.
