The decision was based on several factors, FOX Sports has learned. There is widespread locker-room support among Browns players for Hoyer, who has a 10-5 overall record as a Browns starter despite his recent struggles. There also is a belief among the coaching staff that Hoyer gives Cleveland the best chance to win down the stretch as the Browns (7-5) compete for a playoff spot.
Browns head coach Mike Pettine has made it clear to both quarterbacks that this is Hoyer's job, FOX Sports has learned.
