And that's big, because with Mallett starting his first NFL game, it would sure be much better for him if Foster was playing than having to rely on rookie Blue to pick up the blitz, and you know Cleveland is going to blitz him. It's already bad enough with all the problems the OLine has had in handling the blitzes.

Foster now ruled out for Sunday. Tough spot for Mallett.

Bullough inactive, not a surprise. Posey also inactive, disappointing given the QB change. Cushing will start, Swearinger will not. Manning will start in Swag's place. No one knows why yet, whether it's injury related or because the team is tired of Swag's mistakes.

Should be one of the more interesting games of the year. I think most of us are welcome for the change of pace.....

I picked Cleveland to win across the board in my pickem leagues. I'm usually a Texan homer when it comes to picking.. I figure the karma change will give the Texans the best chance to win.....

[Arky]

And here we go...........

Browns win the toss and deferred. Texans to receive.

Manning downs the kickoff in the end zone. Texan's ball at their 20.

Blue for 6.

Pass to AJ goes for 28..... Browns to challenge that the ball was incomplete.....Eesh, looks like it hit the ground first...

Play is reversed. Brings up 3rd and 4.

Grimes for 3..... Looks like 4th and 1 coming up and a punt....

Browns fair catch the punt at the 29 yard line.

[Arky]

Crowell for no gain.

Pass to Austin gets 12 and a 1st down.

Crowell for loss of 1.

Pass to Gabriel goes inc. Brings up 3rd and 11.

Hoyer's pass over the middle off the mark, inc. Browns will have to punt.
