Josh McCown Retires: Here were his 3 best Cleveland Browns games
By Randy Gurzi
No. 1: Week 5, 2015 at Baltimore Ravens
After nearly bringing the Browns to victory in Week 5, McCown headed to Baltimore to take on the Ravens. On the heels of two-straight 300-plus yardage games, the veteran was looking to keep things going through the air. He did that and then some as he had one of the better passing games in recent memory for the Browns.
In another close contest, McCown was 36-of-51 passing for 457 yards with two touchdowns and no turnovers. On top of his great aerial assault, he even did some damage with his legs as he took off three times in the game and ran for 12 yards with a touchdown.
That touchdown run came from 10-yards out and cut into a 21-9 Baltimore lead. With the score now 21-16, McCown capped off a short four-play drive with a touchdown to Gary Barnidge on their next possession, which allowed them to go up 22-21. The highlight of that drive was a 56-yard pass to Taylor Gabriel that got things rolling.
After Baltimore made it a 27-22 game, McCown again got to work and led an 80-yard drive that ended with an Isaiah Crowell touchdown catch from 22-yards out. He capped it off with a two-point conversion to Andrew Hawkins.
Once the Ravens tied it, McCown orchestrated a 51-yard drive in overtime that set up the game-winning field goal. After the game was over, McCown was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week for his efforts.

Throughout his career, McCown seemed to play on less than impressive teams. Because of that, his career record was 23-53, but he was better than that suggests. He should have a future in coaching and Browns fans everywhere are appreciative of his efforts while in The Land.
