Two former Baylor standout quarterbacks got their opportunity to return the starting lineup for their respective NFL teams on Sunday.
Robert Griffin III, who threw for more than 10,000 yards at Baylor from 2008-2011 and won the Heisman Trophy in 2011, returned to the lineup for the Cleveland Browns on Sunday against its Ohio rival, the Cincinnati Bengals.
Griffin had been absent from the lineup since suffering a shoulder injury in the Brown’s 29-10 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the season opener on Sept. 11.
Unfortunately for Browns fans and members of the Baylor faithful that have followed Griffin’s career, Sunday’s return did not spark enough life in the offense to bring the Browns their first win of the season, as Cleveland fell 23-10 and dropped to 0-13.
