Gary Barnidge explains acrobatic touchdown catch (clevelandbrowns.com)

"Gary Barnidge has been scarce on details about his recent, stat-sheet busting performances because, as he sees it, the numbers are irrelevant if the Browns don’t win. Fortunately for the curious, the Browns won Sunday in dramatic fashion and, well, Barnidge had some explaining to do."

Josh McCown provides unprecedented play for Browns (ESPN)

"Josh McCown has done things no Browns quarterback has done. Even the most optimistic of types could not have expected what McCown has provided as a 36-year-old on his seventh team."

Time for Browns to stop talking, start stopping the run

"There have been a few constants for the Cleveland Browns in the years since they returned to the NFL in 1999. One, obviously, has been the continual losing. Another has been the defense’s inability to stop the run.  Going hand in hand with that is a growing list of players and coaches talking about how the Browns are finally going to eliminate the big plays and stop making every opposing running back look like a Hall of Famer – and this time they mean it."

Browns trying to carve out a role for Justin Gilbert

"It is safe to say that the first 20 games of Justin Gilbert’s NFL career have not gone the way that anyone expected. To their credit, the coaching staff is not giving up on Gilbert and are continuing to try to find a role where he can contribute to the team, since he seems unable to do it at cornerback."

NFL News:

Chiefs fear torn ACL for Jamaal Charles (Arrowhead Addict)

"Head coach Andy Reid has confirmed that the Kansas City Chiefs believe Jamaal Charles has a torn ACL, but the team is waiting for an MRI to confirm the injury."

Cowboys offense anemic in blowout loss (The Landry Hat)

"The Dallas Cowboys defense sacked New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady five times in the first half, but despite  a stout defensive effort, it was the anemic Cowboys offense, led by back-up quarterback Brandon Weeden, that led the Cowboys to record their third straight loss."

Lions loss on Sunday spells end for Martin Mayhew era (SideLion Report)

"The Detroit Lions put on a despicable performance on Sunday, that included six turnovers, Matthew Stafford’s first benching, Ameer Abdullah’s first benching and a depressing scene at Ford Field that was reminiscent of the 0-16 Matt Millen era. The Detroit Lions should leave nobody off the hook as this Detroit team just drew the straw that broke the camel’s back."
