But they’re trying not to give Wentz any bulletin-board material heading into Sunday’s game against the Eagles. So Browns coach Hue Jackson said on PFT Live this morning that the Browns’ view of Wentz was less about thinking he can’t play than about thinking he wasn’t the right fit for Cleveland. “We didn’t draft Carson Wentz because we didn’t think it was the right fit for our ..>> view originalJerry Jones doesn't want 'to rule out anything,' keeps Romo on active roster

By Matt Dolloff, CBS Boston BOSTON (CBS) — One of Bill Belichick’s hallmarks as Patriots head coach has been his team’s ability to (most of the time) get better and better as the season goes along. They have also started slowly in a number of seasons, most recently in the team’s 2-2 start in 2014 that had people sounding alarms and benching Tom Brady before the Patriots ultimately went on a run to a Super Bowl championship.
