The result of the Cleveland Browns' 13th game of the season was certainly disappointing, but the play of quarterback Robert Griffin III wasn't, at least according to his head coach.

Participating in his first game since Week 1 on Sunday, Griffin went 12-of-28 for 104 yards and an interception in the 23-10 loss.

"Unless there's something medically (wrong), he'll go out there and play next week versus the (Buffalo) Bills," Hue Jackson said, according to Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

"He had good poise. I didn't feel like it was too big for him ... Just being out there and moving around again, calling the game and being involved in a game against a good football team, he showed that he belongs."

The Browns are in line to collect the first pick in the upcoming draft, and therefore need to determine whether they will spend any more time and energy on Griffin.

Cleveland dropped to 0-13 Sunday and will take another shot at earning their first win of the season Sunday in Buffalo.
