31. Cleveland Browns (31)

To say Robert Griffin III‘s regular-season debut with the Cleveland Browns was a rough one would be a huge understatement when looking at how many times he was hit by the defense of the Philadelphia Eagles.

The former first-round pick completed 12 of 26 passes for 190 yards with one interception against the Eagles, but failed to find the end zone in his debut. Griffin received all sorts of pressure from Philadelphia’s defense throughout the game, and even appeared to hurt his shoulder in the second half after taking a brutal hit while trying to get out of bounds.

Cleveland fans shouldn’t feel too down about this loss when considering there was signs of life on offense thanks to Terrelle Pryor and Corey Coleman. Both wide receivers came down with miraculous catches against the Eagles, but Griffin just needs to work on connecting with Pryor and Coleman more as the two combined for just five catches on 12 targets.

Next: 30. Chicago Bears
