The Cleveland Browns’ offense was rough again, and it didn’t matter which quarterback was in the game. Week after week, the crazy thing about all of these sad displays at the quarterback position is that the Browns are actually facing some bad defenses, and they still can barely move the ball. This week, they didn’t score any offensive touchdowns — all of the points came via three fields goals and one defensive touchdown. They even began one drive at the 6 yard line, and did not score. The Browns were 2-of-14 (14.3%) on third down, and the crazy thing was...

The NFL is a harsh environment, even for the game’s best players.

But that is especially true if you are a rookie backup quarterback.

No matter if you are the No. 1 overall selection entering a nationally televised game and leading your team to a historic victory despite having no practice reps, or a fifth-round selection entering a regionally televised game and putting up a performance not seen in the NFL in more than 40 years, you have one job.

Be ready because you never know when you will be called upon to play.

That lesson was on full display...

Every Cleveland Browns fan has a favorite player. Actually, every follower of the team has two favorite players: one current, and one from the past.

Of course, many fans have many favorite players. Which is fine and dandy. But those two are the ones remembered most.

The Cleveland Browns could conceivably win the AFC North Division this year before this game began. No, really. Going into this weekend’s game, it would take some help, well, make that a lot of help. But being just three games back in the division makes it realistic with eight games remaining.

It all started with defeating the Baltimore Ravens. Baltimore has had lots of problems itself this season. But lately, they have re-found their groove and got back to winning. So, this being a divisional contest means the world to the Browns.

After another historic Myles Garrett performance, where he had four sacks and broke an NFL record to be the first player in NFL history with 12 sacks in six straight seasons, his chances of winning Defensive Player of the Year have increased. Carson Schwesinger also had a great performance against the Baltimore Ravens that included an interception. His odds of winning Defensive Rookie of the Year continue to rise, and he has earned the respect of national media members across the league.

The Cleveland Browns still only have two wins this season and are not headed in a positive direction....

The Cleveland Browns just had a 23-16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, a game that saw the surprising debut of QB Shedeur Sanders in the second half after QB Dillon Gabriel was ruled out with a head injury. The second half didn’t go well for Sanders, who was 4-of-16 for 47 yards and 1 interception. Nonetheless, what happens at quarterback next week against the Las Vegas Raiders? Will Sanders get his first career start?

After the game, head coach Kevin Stefanski revealed the team’s quarterback plan for the Raider game:

According to Stefanski, if Gabriel clears the concussion protocol, he...

In Week 11, the Cleveland Browns led the Baltimore Ravens for most of the game but could not put much offense together, with Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders at quarterback. Sanders’ debut will be the big story and fans will have strong takeaways, all over the place, about the rookie quarterback’s one-half of football debut.

Whether the Browns will start Gabriel (if healthy) or Sanders in Week 12 will be a discussion for fans and media, but after this week, the 2026 NFL draft continues to be the primary focus. Cleveland entered Week 11 with the fourth overall pick, as...

We weren’t even expecting it, and then a little after the start of the second half, the announcers suddenly said, “We’re hearing Dillon Gabriel is still in the locker room with a head injury,” as they show Shedeur Sanders gathering his stuff to make his NFL debut.

Be careful what you wish for. The Browns’ offense could do worse than nothing in the second half, as the offense kept going backwards and allowing Baltimore to chip away, eventually turning a 16-10 halftime lead for the Browns into a 23-16 win for Baltimore. Let’s get to the full game recap.

The Cleveland Browns were leading going into halftime of Week 11 versus the Baltimore Ravens. While that was big news, QB Dillon Gabriel being evaluated for a head injury led to the NFL debut of QB Shedeur Sanders to start the third quarter.

It was unknown when Gabriel was hurt, as he was in the game to hand the ball off to RB Jerome Ford to end the second quarter. At halftime, Gabriel had completed seven passes on 10 attempts for 68 yards.

In Sanders’ first possession, the quarterback completed his first pass for five yards. Following a holding penalty,...

The Cleveland Browns and the Baltimore Ravens head into the third quarter of their Week 11 match-up with the Browns leading the Ravens 16-10. Highlights from the first quarter include:

• After a stop by the Browns’ defense to begin the second quarter, Cleveland’s offense couldn’t muster more than a first down of their own. On the ensuing punt, though, the Ravens’ return man muffed it and S Grant Delpit recovered at the 6 yard line.
• Despite the great starting field position, the offense gained zero net yards and had to settle for another short field goal. It did...

The Cleveland Browns and the Baltimore Ravens head into the second quarter of their Week 11 match-up with the Ravens and Browns tied 3-3. Highlights from the first quarter include:

• Cleveland went three-and-out on their first drive, but tried to show a degree of aggressiveness by going for it on 4th-and-1 at their own 39 yard line. An illegal formation penalty forced them to punt instead.
• Baltimore was picking up first down after first down and eating up nearly 8 minutes of clock. The defense held the Ravens to a field goal in the goal-to-go situation.
• On...
