Daily Madden: Will The Raiders See Manziel Sunday?
SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) - The Cleveland Browns represent one of the better chances for the Oakland Raiders to get their first win of the season Sunday.
"Is this the week? I think it's a good chance," John Madden told the KCBS Radio morning crew.
The 3-3 Browns lost to the previously winless Jacksonville Jaguars last Sunday. Their Pro Bowl center, Alex Mack, is out for the season with a broken leg.
"Top teams in the NFL can lose their center and it's not a big thing," Madden said. "But when you're struggling and you lose your center then that becomes a big thing."
Browns quarterback Brian Hoyer struggled in the loss to the Jaguars. "You may get (rookie backup quarterback) Johnny Manziel in this game on Sunday if things don't go well (for the Browns)," John said. "They lost to Jacksonville last week and now (if) they're losing to Oakland, you could see a little panic set in." (7:15)
