Josh McCown never gave up on himself, now Browns benefiting from his perseverance

Quarterback Josh McCown has spent the majority of his 13-year NFL career bouncing around the league -- the Browns are his ninth team -- and he had a stint in the now-defunct United Football League in 2010.

McCown’s quintessential journeyman resume doesn’t suggest what he accomplished Sunday in a 33-30 overtime victory on the road against the Baltimore Ravens would be possible.

However, he defied the stereotype and turned in a historic performance by completing 36-of-51 passes (70.6 percent) for a career-high and regular-season, franchise-record 457 yards and two touchdowns without an interception. He posted a passer rating of 111.
