Gordon had eight catches on 16 targets for 120 yards Sunday against the Falcons, his first game this season after serving a 10-game suspension for violating the league's drug policy.
There was talk before the game that Gordon may be limited to 20-30 snaps Sunday, but ESPN.com estimated that he played 25 of the Browns' 36 first-half snaps, and he played most of the last two quarters as well. For a player who had yet to play this season, he did not appear to be rusty at all, and he quickly re-established himself as the top receiving option on the team. He will likely have a tougher time in Week 13, at the Browns travel to face a Bills team that is allowing the seventh-fewest passing yards per game this season.
Just think if he zigged instead of zagged on a few of those deep throws....one was in the endzone and was picked where if he was in position I think he goes up and gets it
Let's be honest. The defense might be statically better, but I highly doubt they'll be more successful covering Josh Gordon. They very well could be allowing the seventh-fewest passing yards per game this season, but none of those games were against Josh Gordon. If they were, they wouldn't be allowing the seventh-fewest passing yards per game.
It's all about the pressure up front. The Bills have a league-leading 46 sacks. It only takes a few sacks in a game to rattle a QB, then they start hurrying their passes, which leads to picks.
Their match-ups have not been easy Cutler, Tanny x2 ,Stafford,Rivers,Brady,and Smith quality QB's and Hoyer is not the most accurate QB in the league. BUT Gordon!! Yes any day if the ball is anywhere near him I'm a believer.
Because hawkins had 5 for 93 and austin had 6 for 64. he opens up the offense for everybody, theyve been missing somene to take the top off and draw the defense, now they got em
Hoyer threw 3 picks against one of the worst defenses in the league. Sunday could be U.G.L.Y. and he won't have an alibi - but I'm still playing Gordon because it only takes 1 catch.
