CLEVELAND (AP) — Jacoby Brissett's assignment is clear: keep the Browns competitive and in contention while Deshaun Watson's away.
He's doing much more than that.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The Denver Broncos have admittedly made plenty of rookie mistakes so far.
However they insist their young punt returner failing to take the field for a punt return Sunday wasn't one of them.

Good stuff, of course. But the rookie wide receiver has focused even more in the film room on the plays he didn't make.
