The Cleveland Browns have caught a break today as Cincinnati Bengals Carson Palmer has been placed as the teams emergency quarterback for today's battle of Ohio. Palmer is one of the best quarterbacks in the business and will be replaced by little known Ryan Fitzpatrick.

So who exactly is Fitzpatrick? The 25 year old 4 year veteran stands at 6 ft 2 and weighs 225 pounds. Fitzpatrick starred in college at Harvard University. In the 2008 preseason, he posted a 104 passing rating in 4 contests.

The betting line for the game stands at Cincinnati being favored by 1.5 points on the late news that Palmer will not be the featured qb today for the Bengals.
