Quarterback Brian Hoyer has started every game for the Browns this season. He might be holding the clipboard when the team hosts Indianapolis next Sunday.
Hoyer collapsed after a strong start in which he completed 7 of 8 for 79 yards. He hit on 11 of 22 for 113 yards and two interceptions thereafter and was replaced by ballyhooed rookie Johnny Manziel in the fourth quarter.
The former was not solely to blame. Receiver Josh Gordon failed to complete a route that caused one interception. But a horrific pass early in the fourth quarter resulted in his fifth pick in the last two games, during which he threw for no touchdowns. The Browns managed just eight yards of total offense in the third quarter, greatle due to his inaccuracy.
It remains to be seen if Hoyer maintains his starting spot against the Colts.
