Brian Hoyer showed Browns fans a human trait not seen as much in Brandon Weeden over the past year or so: resilience. The former caddy for Tom Brady survived three interceptions to notch three touchdowns, the last of which came on a perfect touch pass to tight end Jordan Cameron with less than a minute to play.

As far as the Trent Richardson trade goes, the organization clearly was making a play for the future. Of course, Browns brass wouldn't tell the fan base that, especially after Richardson and the Indianapolis Colts demolished the 49ers. Still, I don't think it was a bad move. Many organizations don't believe in spending a first-round draft pick -- especially one in the top five overall -- on a running back. Browns general manager Mike Lombardi was able to get a future first-round selection for a guy who didn't have first-round value in the organization's eyes. Had Richardson rushed for 905 yards, averaging 3.5 per carry, and scored seven touchdowns in a Browns uniform this season, how much would Lombardi have been able to get for him in March? Not a first-round choice, I can tell you that.
