Brian Hoyer remained the Browns starting quarterback heading into the Sunday game against Indianapolis. It appears likely that he will be the backup when the last-place team hosts Cincinnati in Week 15.
Hoyer performed miserably again in a winnable, must-win battle. He finished 14 of 31 for 140 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions. He was particularly bad in the second half, completing 6 of 14 for just 41 yards and a pick. He threw often off his back foot and twice overthrew wide open receivers deep.
It's highly unlikely the Browns will attempt to sign Hoyer, who is slated for free agency after this season. He has no touchdowns and seven interceptions in the last three games combined.
