After being replaced by Johnny Manziel in Sunday’s loss to the Bills, Brian Hoyer has been named the starter for the Cleveland Browns game in Week 14.
There was a lot of drama over the past 72 hours about whether or not the Cleveland Browns would be quarterbacked by Johnny Manziel or Brian Hoyer on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. Despite scoring a touchdown in his relief appearance in Week 13, the Browns will not be turning to Manziel this upcoming Sunday.

Instead, the Browns are going back to the guy who led them to a 7-5 record in a season where they were supposed to be terrible — Brian Hoyer.
According to Jay Glazer from FOX Sports, the Cleveand Browns will not be ushering in the Manziel era this weekend and will be going back to Hoyer as starter.

Manziel hype was back to being at an all-time high since he entered the game on Sunday, but that will all have to die down again. Manuel’s career in the NFL will eventually start, but the Browns going back to the quarterback who got them in the position they are — notch good and bad — is the right move to make.
