Bradford strengthened his case to be the No. 1 in Week 1 with another strong performance at home, going 6-for-6 on a touchdown drive in his only series against the Baltimore Ravens. Colt McCoy, Cleveland Browns Perhaps buoyed by assurances he would make the Browns' 53-man roster, McCoy shook off three shaky stints...
