Josh McCown has silenced the critics who implored the Cleveland Browns to start Johnny Manziel after McCown got hurt Week 1 against the New York Jets.
All McCown has done the past three weeks since returning from a concussion has thrown for 1,154 yards (8.2 yards per attempt) with six TDs and one interception on 96 of 141 passing (68.1 percent) and given his team a chance to win each of the past three games.
Browns left tackle Joe Thomas couldn't help himself. The stoic team leader has stood up for Manziel recently in terms of his personal growth but had to have fun with the Johnny truthers a bit after the Browns' overtime win Sunday over the Baltimore Ravens.
