Hoyer, Browns ease past Raiders

Cleveland, OH (SportsNetwork.com) – Brian Hoyer shook off a poor performance
from a week ago to lead the Cleveland Browns to a 23-13 win over the Oakland
Raiders on Sunday.

Hoyer, who converted just 16-of-41 passes in a loss to lowly Jacksonville last
week, was an efficient 19-of-28 for 275 yards with one touchdown against the
Raiders.

It wasn’t all that great of a performance by the Browns offense, though, as
the rushing attack of Ben Tate, Terrance West and Isaiah Crowell managed only
39 yards on 25 carries.

Cleveland (4-3) has won three of its last four.

Derek Carr passed for a career-high 328 yards on 34-for-54 passing with a
touchdown for Oakland (0-7), which has now dropped 13 straight dating back to
last season.
