To put this in perspective, Josh McCown threw for 457 yards and two touchdowns in just one game against Baltimore this year. Cleveland turned the ball over four times, all on fumbles, and the only Rams turnover was Cook’s fumble. Manziel was not arrested and the couple was allowed to leave the scene together.

The St Louis Rams defeated the Cleveland Browns on Sunday 24-6, in a performance that helped the Rams increase their season record to 3-3. He wouldn’t discuss details.
“Obviously it’s a situation that’s ongoing with the league, ” he reportedly said.
Manziel may also be subject to discipline under the substance abuse policy, if he’s already in the confidential program. He also admitted to have been drinking earlier in the day. As tough as McCown is, recovering in time to play against the Arizona Cardinals at home on November 1 might be an impossibility. He was unable to reach the end zone in the Browns’ loss Sunday to the Rams, but might get a lot of support from his teammates to be named starter after McCown’s dismal, two fumble performance.
“I love it”, Foles said.
McCown said Monday that he was “sore but getting better” and Pettine indicated that he will probably hold his quarterback out of Wednesday’s practice.
“That’s a credit to his toughness, his resolve, but our guys know watching the film that we have to protect this guy”, he said. “I don’t look too far down the line as far as that’s concerned”.
“Rodney McCloud gave me an alert and I gave him a hand like I didn’t hear him”, Jenkins said.
McCown said he wasn’t surprised he wasn’t checked.
For coach Mike Pettine, there isn’t a decision to make.
Pettine did feel Barron should’ve been penalized.
That wasn’t the only non-call the Browns disagreed with. “I just go, ‘if we are going to do it, we gotta do it right, ‘” said Timoteo.
“I like my paycheck”, he said. Jordan Poyer injured a shoulder Sunday and will miss at least a week.
If not, the coaches would have a choice to make. Rookie fourth-round pick Ibraheim Campbell, nickelback K’Waun Williams and cornerback/safety Johnson Bademosi are options. Campbell hasn’t played on defense this year. Browns WR Andrew Hawkins (concussion) left the game in the fourth quarter and didn’t return…. “Just to set the tone like that for the game, it was a big play”.
The writing may be on the wall for Isaiah Crowell.
Spotting the Cleveland Browns’ rushing offense requires a few intense squinting. Pettine saw progress – for a while. Not because he could potentially get the start for the Cleveland Browns next Sunday, but because it isn’t known whether or not the league is even going to let him play in the foreseeable future.
According to ESPN Stats & Information, Gurley finished with 97 rushing yards after contact – the most for any player in a game this season. Josh McCown was on his back more often than a villain wrestler in the WWF.
It’s been a big coming-out party for Todd Gurley, the first St. Louis Rams rookie to rush for 100 yards in three straight games since Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson in 1983. “They did a nice job running the football”. If the Browns firmly view Crowell as the third guy and do not see many obvious opportunities where they can get him the ball, especially when the playcalling is a little more forced with Crowell, his playing time and touches may drop substantially. However, as the season has progressed, that percentage has remained very high, but the yardage allowed has been kept in check for the most part.

Crowell led the Browns in terms of carries with eight, but he only gained nine yards and eight of those were on a single play.
