advice best cbs dan drive ends football game good jets kick lose losing opportunity smart trying win
I feel that I'm not losing the game for our team. I'm trying to give us the best opportunity to win the football game. I did everything I could to lose the Jets game but we won. And the Patriots game, I didn't play well. I think that this year, I just come out and play smart football. I got some good advice the other day (from CBS Sports' Dan Dierdorf): Every drive that ends in a kick is a good drive.

We definitely want to go to Cincinnati. They got us last time.

black browns fan gold growing orange seen smaller version
It's a smaller version of Pittsburgh. The transformation I've seen is awesome. Growing up everyone was a Browns fan around there and you go back there and you don't see very much orange and brown. You see a lot of black and gold and that's just awesome.
