CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Scribbles in my notebook after the Cleveland Browns lost, 30-16, to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday:
1. Games like this are why there is reason to think DeShone Kizer can eventually grow into a decent NFL quarterback. I said EVENTUALLY and GROW, which means not this season for the 21-year-old rookie. He was 18-of-31 passing for 263 yards, zero interceptions. He also didn't fumble.
2. This came after Kizer's four turnovers (2 interceptions, 2 fumbles) in a 19-7 loss to Jacksonville in his previous game. Kizer has taken some major hits this season.
