NFL Today, Week 12

SCOREBOARD

Monday, Nov. 30

Baltimore at Cleveland, 8:30 p.m. EST. Josh McCown makes his first start since Nov. 1 when Cleveland hosts the Baltimore Ravens in the Browns' first appearance on Monday Night Football in seven years. McCown returns to the starting job behind center after Johnny Manziel was demoted in the wake of a video and photos of him partying in a Texas club during Cleveland's bye week. Matt Schaub starts at quarterback for Baltimore after Joe Flacco tore two ligaments in his left knee during last Sunday's 16-13 win over St. Louis. Schaub hasn't thrown a pass in a regular-season game since Week 13 last season with Oakland -- exactly one year ago on Monday.
