Making his first NFL start, Quinn completed 23 of 35 passes for 239 yards and two touchdowns, with no interceptions. Elusive in the backfield and sharp in his decision-making, he avoided giving up a single sack. After the Browns conceded 17 unanswered points in the second-half, he orchestrated a nine-play, 78-yard touchdown drive...
