Hue Jackson on Browns QB change: 'I wanted a spark'

Searching for a spark on the road in the middle of a winless season growing darker every week, Browns coach Hue Jackson tried to find one in the form of a familiar quarterback.

The Browns benched quarterback Cody Kessler for veteran Josh McCown after the team's first drive in the second half. Baltimore led 13-7 at the time of the switch and the decision could not have gone much worse in a game the Browns lost 28-7.

McCown's five drives: Interception, three-and-out (including a McCown fumble), interception, lost fumble, three-and-out.
