Cleveland Browns rookie DeShone Kizer, who was benched in the second half after throwing two interceptions last week, will make his second straight start Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings, coach Hue Jackson said.

It was the second time in three games that Kizer had been pulled. Cody Kessler took his place in Sunday's 12-9 overtime loss. He also has been benched for Kevin Hogan.

Since then-coach Mike Pettine made the decision to bench Brian Hoyer in favor of Johnny Manziel in 2014, the Browns had changed starting quarterbacks in 20 of the last 43 games.
