Week 16 Browns at Bengals
C.P. 11 of 21 115 yards 1 td 2 int. 44.8 eff. rating (Lowest of his season)
D.A. 29 of 48 251 yards 2 td 4 int. 53.4 eff. rating (lowest of his season)
I wasn't on the field but can only surmise with the Browns staff that the late season drop in performance level of DA were weather related or defenses catching up with offensive schemes.

I'd say it was mostly weather-related but maybe he was also showing his YOUTH. It was Anderson's first go round in a playoff atmosphere and he came up short. He's a young guy, and is basically coming off of a rookie season.
Maybe we should just get C.C. Sabathia's ass out of town since he had a bad post-season. He must not be talanted either.
