Browns coach Mike Pettine addressed Isaiah Crowell's surprise start in Week 11 against Houston during his Monday news conference, per the Akron Beacon Journal.
"Crowell was a guy that had practiced well, we felt really good about where he was and progress he made," Pettine said.
Crowell registered 14 of Cleveland's 24 carries and played 51 of 77 offensive snaps on Sunday. He finished with 61 rushing yards. Ben Tate played only 16 snaps and Terrance West logged 10 snaps.
When asked if there was an attitude issue with Tate, Pettine responded with, "nothing that I would speak on here."
