In their first playoff appearance since January 2003, the Browns stunned the Steelers with 28 unanswered first-quarter points on their way to a 48-37 AFC wild-card win Sunday night. Cleveland scored a defensive touchdown on the first play from scrimmage — a botched snap over the head of Ben Roethlisberger — and finished with five forced turnovers. Pittsburgh, forced to play from behind the whole way, could not come up with momentum-shifting takeaways down the stretch. The Browns’… Source link

As Thursday rolled into the afternoon hours for the Cleveland Browns, the vast deflation of what should have been one of the most exciting weeks in franchise history continued. The practice facility remained closed. Quarterback Baker Mayfield, who isn’t allowed to practice with his teammates outside of the facility, told reporters he hasn’t thrown a football since the regular-season finale. Cleveland’s Coach of the Year candidate, Kevin Stefanki, continues to ratchet on a game schematic… Source link

Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers threw for 240 yards and four touchdowns Sunday to give the Packers a 35-16 victory at Chicago, a home-field edge in the NFL playoffs and a first-round bye. Rodgers completed 19-of-24 passes with second-quarter touchdown tosses of 3 yards to Robert Tonyan, 13 yards to Dominique Dafney and 72 yards to Marquez Valdes-Scantling plus a late 6-yarder clincher to Davante Adams as the Packers finished 13-3 with the National Conference (NFC) top seed. “It was a good win for… Source link

Baker Mayfield will reportedly be missing nearly his entire receiver corps when the Cleveland Browns play the New York Jets on Sunday. Wide receivers Jarvis Landry, Rashard Higgins, Donovan Peoples-Jones and KhaDarel Hodge have all been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, as has linebacker Jacob Phillips, the Browns announced on Saturday. The players were reportedly deemed close contacts of a player who tested positive for the virus, according to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. We’ve placed… Source link

Lamar Jackson spent the first three quarters running through the Cleveland Browns – 124 yards and two touchdowns (at least once he got the proper cleats on, of course). Then he spent much of the fourth in the locker room – with many in the audience watching on television and online wondering (and joking) if he was out because of what was running through him. Jackson said it wasn’t what everyone thought, he was actually getting IVs to deal with cramps. That and some stretching. “I… Source link

The Cleveland Browns faced the Baltimore Ravens in the season opener. It looked like the same old Browns. It looked like the Ravens were picking up where they left off from 2019, too. The Ravens won 38-6. It was a horrendous debut for new Browns coach Kevin Stefanski. Given how bad Cleveland has been this century, it wasn’t too surprising of a result. If you watched that game, you’d have never predicted that going into the rematch it would be the Browns riding high and looking like a… Source link

The Cleveland Browns are 8-3 heading into December, and it hasn’t been a big story this NFL season. Maybe it’s the constant headlines about COVID-19. The Browns won four games total between 2015-17. They haven’t won eight games in a season since 2007. The last time Cleveland was in the playoffs was 2002. That’s still the only playoff appearance since the franchise restarted in 1999. The Browns blew a big lead to the Pittsburgh Steelers and lost in their only playoff game that… Source link

The Johnny Manziel Era of the Cleveland Browns is years in the rear-view mirror, and the quarterback has begun discussing what went wrong in a career that went from a Heisman Trophy as a freshman to a spectacular flameout in the National Football League, then the Canadian Football League. Manziel appeared on Tuesday’s episode of the YNK Podcast, and addressed a Browns tenure most of fans of the team are still trying to forget. Johnny Manziel: I wasted two years of Joe Thomas’ career At the… Source link

On Monday, news broke that Antonio Brown was accused of destroying a security camera and throwing a bicycle at a security shack in his gated Florida community. The incident allegedly happened on Oct. 15, prior to Brown signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. On Tuesday, news broke that the NFL was not previously aware of the incident. And that could be a problem for Brown and the Bucs. It’s up to the NFL how hard a line it wants to take with the latest Antonio Brown incident. (Photo by Mike… Source link
