Browns QB Josh McCown out for season with broken collarbone

Dec 02, 2015, 02:06

He still threw two touchdown passes and completed 20 of 34 passes for 232 yards.

The seemingly newly minted backup, McCown, who had set the franchise record for passing yards in a game in the last meeting against the Ravens in Baltimore, returned to start. But nevertheless, he doesn't see how desperately the Browns want him to come good, and how he has the ability to grab hold of this stuttering franchise and shake it back to life.

Cleveland kicker Travis Coons attempted a winning 51-yard field goal on the final play. Will Hill is already mid-return, and immediately after he scores, we are treated to an assembly line of increasingly bummed out Browns fans.

Placekicker Travis Coons said he hit the ball well, that it was just like every other kick.

"I heard somebody saying up top that (offensive coordinator John DeFilippo) was cutting out", Pettine said after the game.

Two teams playing for nothing but pride, as the cliche goes.

Josh McCown returned to the starting lineup and finished 21-of-38 for 212 yards and a touchdown.

Just a week ago, Browns coach Mike Pettine finally got permission to publicly discipline Johnny Manziel.

The unlucky manner of the defeat aside, Manziel offers the Browns an entirely different level of dynamism and has shown in college his propensity for doing it on the biggest stage.

The Browns appeared to be in position to win after cornerback Tramon Williams intercepted Schaub with 50 seconds left at Baltimore's 46.

"To have something like that happen, I don't think you can say that's something you plan out and prepare, to think you're going to go five straight games with some kind of a kick block", Harbaugh said.

Cleveland left it late, but still found a new and imaginative way to lose in falling to the Ravens on the game's final play.

Pettine said McCown suffered an injury to his collarbone.

Cleveland, Johnson Jr. 7-27, McCown 2-12, Benjamin 1-10, Crowell 7-7, Davis 1-7.

A group of disgusted Clevelanders arrived wearing brown paper bags over their heads as another season unravels on the shores of Lake Erie.

Lost in the field-goal block was Schaub's victory in place of Flacco.

The Cleveland Browns will have yet another decision to make regarding their starting quarterback as Josh McCown's season is likely over.
