This is blue collar football

You know what, the Browns lost a heartbreaker today. Despite dominating the Ravens three of four quarters, spaking Steve McNair all day, and putting up a serious passing game, in the end, it was the mighty foot of the Ravens’ kicker, Stover, who sealed the deal with a 52-yard shellshocker with half a minute left. Then, on the final drive of the game, the Browns’ called what looked to me like a screen, and the receiver, rather than tucking the ball away and getting tackled in order to call a timeout (they had the first down with the catch), he extended his arm and put the ball out in midair so when he got hit, it popped out and the Ravens recovered it, ending the game. Man, this is blue collar football. The Browns put in a good effort against the division leading Ravens, but, in the end, it was the Browns’ own mistakes (including an interception by Frye) that screwed them out of the victory that could’ve saved their season.
