In Cleveland, Todd Monken is hinting at something interesting for rookie quarterback Taylen Green. The Browns head coach confirmed Monday that Green could have a dedicated package of plays on game day, designed specifically to put his athleticism to work. It's a smart wrinkle for an offense still searching for an identity this season.
Shifting over to the National League wild card race, the San Diego Padres are being predicted to edge out the Arizona Diamondbacks for that final playoff spot. The margins are razor thin this time of year, but analysts believe one key differentiator gives San Diego just enough runway to hold on. Every game from here is essentially an elimination game for both clubs.
And in the media world, Drew Brees keeps expanding his footprint. The former Saints quarterback is now set to co-host SiriusXM's Let's Go alongside Matthew Stafford, Jim Gray, and Peter King, replacing Maxx Crosby in that chair. Brees is also heading into his first full season calling games for NFL on Fox with Adam Amin. The man is everywhere right now.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
