Browns' QB P.J. Walker: "This Group Will Continue To Be Resilient"

P.J. Walker took the responsibility for the Cleveland Browns coming up short on Sunday in Seattle, but he acknowledged his team's willingness to fight through adversity.

This Cleveland Browns team feels like it's already been to hell and back so far this season. We are only eight weeks into the campaign and two players have been lost for the year, the franchise quarterback has been injured twice, and a team leader (literally) burnt his entire face. Never mind that the Browns play in the best division in football.

We aren't even at the halfway point in the season.

Cleveland has seen so much and dealt with an incredible amount of adversity. It is starting to manifest itself in the personality of this team. 

After the Browns' heartbreaking loss to Seattle, PJ Walker appreciated his team's no-quit attitude.

"We were able to fight back as a team and battle. It shows you the grit and grind that we have in this locker room. This group will continue to be resilient."

Grit and grind are right. This team is full of gamers who just do not want to lose. It's evident all over the field when you watch these guys play.

Think back to the history of the Browns and how many times a first-quarter road deficit turns into a blowout. The DNA of this team is so much different than the others before it.

Unfortunately for Cleveland, being resilient doesn't give you points on the scoreboard. Execution does ... and the Browns desperately need to clean up their operation.

Sunday was both an example of a team that you don't want to face on Sunday's, but also a team that can't figure out how to get out of its own way in some critical moments.
