When you’re out of playoff contention, you can try some gadget plays. Browns’ head coach Eric Mangini certainly has a lot in his arsenal, and he went with one.
Ravens Vs. Browns: Cleveland Employs Some Trickery; Massaquoi Throws Touchdown Pass To Robiskie
It all started with special teams, as Josh Cribbs provided the Browns with excellent field position, running a punt back to Baltimore’s 40-yard line. Then, after a first down a couple of plays later, they pitched the ball to RB Peyton Hillis.
Only, he didn’t run it. Hillis pitched the ball to WR Mohamed Massaquoi who found WR Brian Robiskie in the end zone for the touchdown. The play was reviewed, after it appeared the ball may have hit the ground, but was upheld.
After one quarter, and a lot of ground-and-pound football, the Browns lead the Ravens, 7-0. The Ravens, however, are currently driving and looking to tie the game.
RB Ray Rice has seven carries for 31 yards; while RB Peyton Hillis has four carries for nine yards.
