Analysis
The end of the Brian Hoyer era most likely. Devastating loss for the Browns. Johnny Manziel likely to start next week. Under 100 yards in the 2nd half is not good enough. Defense was amazing and the Colts made just enough plays to win the game. Lots of second guessing this week about Hoyer staying in the game through the 4th quarter.
