(Sports Network) - Brady Quinn has been named the Cleveland Browns' starting quarterback for Monday night's matchup with the Baltimore Ravens.
Quinn started the first three games of the season, but had since been replaced by Derek Anderson. However, head coach Eric Mangini made the decision to go back to Quinn as the 1-7 Browns come off their bye week.
"Brady has done a nice job in practice," Mangini said. "I expect that. That's what I asked him to do. I look forward to him taking advantage of this opportunity and playing well the rest of the season."
In his three starts, Quinn completed 45-of-74 passes for 400 yards, with one touchdown and three interceptions. He was also sacked 10 times.
Anderson had made the last five starts but completed just 41 percent of his passes (55-for-135) for 589 yards, two scores and six picks. He was under center for Cleveland's lone win of the season on October 11, a 6-3 victory over Buffalo. However, Anderson threw for just 23 yards on 2-of-17 passing, as the Browns won by virtue of two Billy Cundiff field goals.
