The Cleveland Browns lost another game on Sunday and may have lost another quarterback to injury.
So what else is new?
“We have to keep fighting. We have to be able to continue to move the ball, whoever is in there,” wide receiver Andrew Hawkins said after the game. “We have played with five quarterbacks already, including Terrelle (Pryor Sr.). I think guys aren’t giving up. I know it doesn’t always equate to wins, but it is a foundation. I do not think it’s a matter of if, I think it is a matter of when.
“If we continue to fight and build that foundation, and I can’t tell you when that is going to happen, but good teams fight. That is what my guys always do.”
