CLEVELAND (AP) -A planned fan protest seemed to fail as Cleveland Browns Stadium was three-quarters filled before Monday night's kickoff against Baltimore.

There were thousands of empty seats for the opening kickoff, but it was impossible to know if they were because of the protest or late-arriving fans. The notoriou |

That's what I asked him to do. I look forward to him taking advantage of this o |

One hit caused him to bite his tongue, leaving him with a bloody mouth. The Bears certainly took a beating during the win, particularly the guy behind center who also happens to carry the franchise's long-term hopes in his right arm. Cutler's been on the move all seas |
