The Browns were solid in the first half as they were winning 10-7 at the half but then the roof caved in as Derek Anderson was pathetic the rest of the game.  Derek Anderson completed 14 of 37 passes for 125 yards with 1 TD pass and 3 interceptions (one of which was returned 32 yards for a TD by Ed Reed).  Jamal Lewis ran well but the Browns didn’t give him the ball enough.  He carried the ball 12 times for 56 yards (4.7 ypc) and he also caught 3 passes for 21 yards (7.0 avg).  Backup RB Jerome Harrison only touched the ball 1 time as he caught a pass and ran 19 yards for a TD in the 2nd quarter.  Braylon Edwards led all receivers for the Browns in this game with 27 yards on 3 catches (9.0 avg).  The Browns finished up with 73 yards rushing on 15 carries (4.9 ypc) and they also completed 14 of 37 passes for 96 yards.

The defense was on the field for a stunning 37:48 in this football game and the Ravens were often working with very short fields in this game.  LB D’Qwell Jackson had a great game leading the way for the Browns’ defense with 14 tackles and a interception.  Fellow linebackers Andra Davis (10 tackles) and rookie Alex Hall (7 tackles, sack) both pitched in with solid efforts.  Safety Michael Adams and CB Brandon McDonald each picked off a pass from Joe Flacco.  The Ravens finished up with 151 yards rushing on 44 carries (3.4 ypc) and they also completed 13 of 19 passes for 122 yards.  The Browns are now 0-3 on the season and it’s starting to look like last season was a HUGE fluke.
