Hoyer Named Starting QB Against Colts

Last updated on Thursday, December 4, 2014

(Cleveland, OH) - The Cleveland Browns officially named who their starting quarterback will be against the Colts this Sunday.

Brian Hoyer gets the nod over Johnny Manziel and Browns head coach Mike Pettine explained his decision saying Hoyer "gives us the best chance to win against Indianapolis."

Colts linebacker D'Qwell Jackson was named AFC Defensive Player of the Week. Jackson returned a fumble for a touchdown and registered seven tackles in the Colts' win over Washington. It was the second time in his career that Jackson has earned the award.

Current teammates, and former Browns players Josh Cribbs and Trent Richardson said if they score a touchdown they want to jump in to the Cleveland fan section known as the Dawg Pound.

D'Qwell Jackson, also a former Brown, said he won't be so bold saying "More power to those guys if they get in there but you won't see me in there. Not at all."
