A quick observation of quarterback Brian Hoyer and how he played in the Cleveland Browns' 26-24 win in Week 12:

The Bills shouldn’t feel comfortable in the fourth quarter Sunday without a sizable lead. Hoyer can find scoring opportunities late in games, especially on the road. The Browns are 3-2 when Hoyer has the ball in the final three minutes with the chance to win.

Three-and-outs contributed to early-season losses at Pittsburgh and against Baltimore, but Hoyer’s overall stat line in those pressure moments is 16-of-22 for 176 yards and one touchdown pass while setting up two game-winning field goals.

In the past two late-game road chances, both wins, Hoyer completed 3 of 3 passes for 29 yards and a score at Tennessee and 4 of 5 passes for 61 yards Sunday at Atlanta (coming after interceptions on back-to-back drives).

Want to know why Hoyer has kept Johnny Manziel on ice? Those numbers are why. He's able to shrug off bad play. Let's not call Hoyer the comeback kid, but he has done enough to make Doug Marrone think twice about giving Cleveland the ball late.
