Browns quarterback Jameis Winston was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week after he completed 27 of 41 passes for 334 yards, three touchdowns and a 115.3 in a 29-24 win over the Ravens.

Browns receiver Cedric Tillman was frustrated by his rookie year but after catching his first two touchdowns last Sunday, he believes he is ready to break out and make more big plays.

Cornerback Denzel Ward and left guard Joel Bitonio returned to practice Friday. Ward is questionable and Bitonio expected to play against the Chargers Sunday.

The 2-6 Cleveland Browns look to put back-to-back victories together for the first time this season against the 4-3 Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9.

Jameis Winston threw three interceptions while Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert threw a pair of touchdowns and J.K. Dobbins rain for two scores in Los Angeles’ 27-10 win over the Browns Sunday.

At 2-7, any hope that this season is remotely salvageable went up in smoke during Sunday’s 27-10 can kicking courtesy of the Chargers but Kevin Stefanski’s self-scout during the bye week won’t lead to big changes.

Browns executive vice president of football operations and general manager Andrew Berry wasn’t willing to reflect or look to the future as he said a lot, with little substance, during the 24-minute press conference

As expected, Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski is sticking with Jameis Winston at quarterback and he also set goals for the second half of the season after the team returned from their bye weekend.

Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski defended Wills, who said Monday he made “a business decision” not to play against the Ravens and rest his aching and surgically repaired knee, on Wednesday.

The Browns will be tasked with containing the explosive Alvin Kamara of the Saints this weekend. Defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz sees Kamara as proof running backs still matter in the NFL.
