The will be in Houston on Sunday to face the . This is noteworthy because the Browns are 0-5 this season and have won just once in their last 23 games going back to 2015. The team also named quarterback the starter this week; he replaces rookie second-round pick , who struggled through the first five games, completing just 51 percent of his throws with three touchdowns, nine interceptions and two lost fumbles. Hogan will be the Browns' since the team returned to the NFL in 1999. Meanwhile, the Texans, who had their own quarterback i sues in recent years, traded up in the 2017 NFL Draft to take with the 12th overall pick. He entered at halftime of the season opener and has been Jahmi'us Ramsey Jersey one of the league's best young players ever since; he's completing 62 percent of his pa ses with 12 touchdowns and just four interceptions, and he's helped jumpstart an offense that was stuck in neutral with and under center.

Cleveland , who was impre sive in offseason workouts and the preseason and parlayed that into the starting job heading into the regular season. But in light of Kizer's recent benching and Watson's succe s, Browns coach Hue Jackson faced predictable questions this week about any regrets he might have on pa sing on the Texans' new franchise quarterback. "It doesn't matter for this reason," Jackson told Jason Williams Jersey reporters on Wednesday. "Because whether we did or didn't, that's not the point. The point is we are going to play the Houston Texans in Houston. Here's our football team. We're 0-5 and we're trying to get a football victory, and it doesn't Bogdan Bogdanovic Jersey matter.

"What did I tell you guys earlier in the week? You guys can say whatever you like. I get it. I get the second-gue sing, the questions, all of that. You guys are entitled to do all of that.

I think some of us want him to be a la the top quarterback, echelon quarterback, in this league right now. That doesn't happen in five games. That happens over time. ... "I feel good about him. I am never going to run from that, because I think the guy has talent and ability. Now, can he make the next jump? We are going to see that in time. He has to be able to do that, so my feelings haven't changed, and they are not going Yogi Ferrell Jersey to change." Asked if Kizer will start again this season, Jackson said, Oh, I sure would hope so. ... At the end of the day, I have to do what I think is best to give our team the best opportunity to win. That is what this is all about. Nothing more, nothing le s." |
