The Cleveland Browns play the Washington Redskins on Monday in the 2014 NFL preseason. Kickoff is at 8:00 p.m. ET. Watch the live stream or listen to the radio broadcast via the links provided below.
Most of the attention Monday night will be on Browns rookie quarterback Johnny Manziel, who is seemingly making a last-ditch effort to earn the starting nod for Week 1. Manziel's preseason debut last week wasn't eye-opening in terms of stats, but he showed promise with his playmaking ability - both in and out of the pocket - and may get more playing time with the first team offense Monday night if Browns coach Mike Pettine hasn't already decided who will start in Week 1.
For Washington, it's about signal caller Robert Griffin III getting his confidence back in the limited reps he's likely to get Monday. Griffin is coming off a poor sophomore season, but with more than a year between him and his ACL surgery, Washington is looking for him to bounce back with a strong season.
WHAT TO WATCH
Cleveland: With the Browns expected to announce their regular-season starter at quarterback on Tuesday, watch how much playing time incumbent starrting quarterback Brian Hoyer and Manziel each get. If Hoyer plays in only a few series, it may indicate Pettine has already made up his mind about who will be under center for Week 1.
Manziel, though, could force Pettine to reconsider if he's able to turn in a strong performance against one of last season's worst defenses.
Washington: Watch how backup quarterback Kirk Cousins performs. A number of reports indicate Cousins has a better understanding of the offense, and although it's unlikely Griffin won't be under center in Week 1, a strong game from Cousins could plant the seeds for a quarterback controversy down the road if Griffin struggles during the regular season.
