Browns, Quinn Send Titans To NFL Preseason Loss

Wednesday - September 1, 2010 | NFL | comment balloon Comments (0)

Brady Quinn outplayed Derek Anderson, giving himself an edge in the Cleveland Browns QB battle, and his team outplayed the Tennessee Titans earning a victory in NFL preseason action. Quinn threw a touchdown pass as Cleveland used a 17 point third quarter to beat Tennessee 23-17. The Browns improved their NFL preseason record to 2-1 with the victory, while Tennessee dropped to 2-2.

Browns backers who bet on NFL preseason action were pleased with the outcome, as Cleveland easily covered as a -1 home favorite. The Browns are now 2-1 against the spread in the NFL preseason, while the Titans dropped to 1-2-1 against the number. The 40 combined points just managed to make it OVER the posted total of 38. Cleveland is now 2-1 O/U in the preseason, having gone OVER in two straight games. Tennessee has gone OVER in all four of their NFL preseason contests.

The battle for the Cleveland starting quarterback job was the big storyline of the game. Browns coach Eric Mangini conceded that the battle was very close but declined to give any indication of which way he was leaning:

“I’ll look at the tape tomorrow, talk to the coaches and continue to evaluate it. When the decision is made, I’ll let everyone know.”

Both signal caller aspirants have posted similar stats, but Quinn has thrown the only touchdown pass of the preseason for the Browns and this may make the difference. Anderson sounded as if he knew that he’d fallen short in his postgame comments to the media:

“It’s out of my hands. Let the chips fall.”

Quinn suggested that whether he’s the starter or a backup it made no difference in the way he approached his job:

“I expect to practice on Monday. Derek and I are mentally tough guys. If our coach wants us to go forever, I’m sure we can go forever.”

Wide receiver Braylon Edwards caught Quinns third quarter touchdown strike, but refused to take sides:

“That’s up to coach. Whatever decision he makes we’ll support. Right now, they both look good.”

Despite the loss, Titans coach Jeff Fisher has generally happy with the play of his starting QB Kerry Collins:

“Kerry spread the ball around quite a bit. We got some things accomplished that we didn’t see last week. I was pleased with the drives. We gave up a couple of plays, but I thought we handled the run with the starters”

Cleveland will conclude their 2009 NFL preseason schedule on Thursday night, traveling to Chicago for a game against the Bears. Tennessee will wrap up their exhibition slate on the same night as they welcome the Green Bay Packers to Music City USA.
