Kizer played for five possessions Thursday night against the Saints and completed 11 of his 18 passes for 184 yards and one touchdown. His touchdown throw of 45 yards proved to be the game-winner for Cleveland late in the fourth quarter.
The Browns’ other two quarterbacks failed to provide the spark that Kizer did. Brock Osweiler started and completed 6 of his 14 passes for 42 yards. Cody Kessler backed him up and went 5 of 10 for 47 yards.
Still, Jackson and the Browns aren’t rushing Kizer into the starter’s role as he still appears to be third on the depth chart for the time being. Osweiler struggled for Houston in 2016, while Kessler went 0-8 for the Browns as a starter.
