Browns quarterback Brian Hoyer was far from brilliant Sunday against Oakland, but what he did achieve was a rebound from his dud of a Week 7 in Jacksonville.
Hoyer completed 19 of 28 passes for 275 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in the victory. He got rolling on a 48-yard screen to Taylor Gabriel midway through the first quarter before really finding his rhythm in the second, hitting on 5 of 7 for 75 yards.
He padded his numbers with a 32-yard pass to Andrew Hawkins on the last play of the third quarter and finally got his team in the end zone with a 4-yard touchdown strike to Hawkins off a rollout left early in the fourth.
Hoyer will seek to take his momentum and run with it next Sunday against Tampa Bay.
