BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Brandon Weeden is playing for more than pride in the Cleveland Browns' final two games.

The 29-year-old rookie needs to prove he is the team's quarterback for the future despite his advanced age and an inconsistent first year. A good game Sunday in Denver could help shape the opinion of a new front office expected to make sweeping changes following Cleveland's ninth losing season in 10 years.

It won't be easy for the Browns (5-9) and Weeden against the Broncos (11-3), who have won nine in a row.

Weeden will face a defense led by Von Miller that has helped Denver outscore opponents by 114 points during the winning streak.
