McCown was signed recently, so his performance is even more impressive given how little time he had to work with his receivers. He threw a touchdown pass to rookie J.J. Arcega-Whiteside and another to depth tight end Alex Ellis. Even with Cody Kessler (concussion) back on the field, McCown will be the main backup to starter ...
