Kevin Hogan delivers valiant effort, but Browns' QB saga continues

CINCINNATI — The season of quarterback calamity marches on.

The Cleveland Browns became the first team in a non-strike season to have six players throw a pass in the first seven games of the season since the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 1976. That was year one of the Bucs existence, and they finished 0-14. The Browns are 0-7 — which is only one more loss than quarterbacks used.

The sixth quarterback for the Browns was rookie Kevin Hogan of Stanford, who was promoted from the practice squad on Oct. 11.

Hogan initially was the Browns' read-option option against Cincinnati, but when Cody Kessler left with a concussion with 7:27 left in the first half, Hogan took over.
