The Cleveland Browns tightened up the chin straps yesterday and they pushed the Jaguars around for the most part.  The Jaguars scored a TD on the last play of this game so the score doesn’t indicate how easy the Browns won this game.  Derek Anderson was in game manager mode as he completed 7 of 11 passes for 86 yards with 0 TD passes and 1 INT.  Jerome Harrison finished his year with a third solid game in a row as he carried the ball 33 times for 127 yards (3.8 ypc) with a TD run and he also caught 2 passes for 20 yards (10.0 avg).  Josh Cribbs was also outstanding running the ball with 6 carries for 47 yards (7.8 ypc) with a TD.  Chris Jennings pitched in with 38 yards rushing on 9 carries (4.2 ypc) in this game.  TEs Robert Royal (2 rec, 34 yards) and Evan Moore (2 rec, 18 yards) led the way for the Browns in the passing game yesterday.  The Browns finished up with 300 total yards on offense (214 rushing, 86 passing) in this game as they had possession of the ball for 32:58.

Safety Abram Elam (6 tackles, 1 pass defensed), LB Jason Trusnik (6 tackles, 1/2 sack, 2 passes defensed) and S Mike Adams (6 tackles, 1 pass defensed) led the way for the Browns on D yesterday.  CB Eric Wright also had a solid game with 5 tackles, 1 pass defensed and a INT.  Rookie linebacker Kaluka Maiava saved his best game for last with 4 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss, 1.5 sacks and 2 QB hits.  The Jaguars finished up with 328 total yards on offense (131 rushing, 197 passing) in this game.  The Browns finish the season with a 5-11 record and on a 4-game winning streak.

The Browns won this game by running the ball on offense and playing solid defense.  Derek Anderson managed the game well yesterday for the Browns completing 8 of 17 passes for 121 yards with 1 TD pass and 0 INTs.  Jerome Harrison led the way on the ground again for the Browns yesterday with 148 yards rushing on 39 carries (3.8 ypc) with 1 TD run.  Mohammed Massaquoi had his best game in quite a while with 3 grabs for 61 yards (20.3 avg) with a TD grab.  The Browns finished up with 282 total yards on offense (164 rushing, 118 passing) in this game.

Safety Mike Adams led the way for the Browns on defense yesterday with 7 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss, 1 sack, 2 passes defensed and 1 QB hit.  OLB Matt Roth also had a great game for the Browns yesterday with 5 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss, 1 pass defensed, 1.5 sacks and 3 QB hits.  CBs Brandon McDonald, Eric Wright and linebacker David Bowens each picked off a pass from Raiders’ QB Charlie Frye who thought that he was still playing with the Browns.  The Raiders finished up with 389 total yards on offense (88 rushing, 301 passing) in this game.  The Browns have now won three games in a row as they are now 4-11 on the year.

This was one of the most exciting football games I have ever seen.  The Browns got super-human efforts from Jerome Harrison, Josh Cribbs and the offensive line today!  First off was Josh Cribbs who returned 2 kickoffs for TDs in this game (100, 103 yarders) to tie a NFL record.  He also broke the career record for TD kickoffs returns as he now has 8 in only his 5th year in the NFL.  But, Cribbs was upstaged by Jerome Harrison who carried the ball 34 times for 286 yards (8.4 ypc) with 3 TD runs and he also caught 2 passes for 12 yards (6.0 avg).  Harrison rushed for the third most yards ever in a NFL game and he snapped Jim Brown’s franchise record which has stood since 1961 (237 yards).  The Browns decided to keep the football on the ground in this game as Brady Quinn was having issues throwing the ball once again.  He completed 10 of 17 passes for 66 yards with 2 INTs today.  Quinn did pitch in with 39 yards rushing on 4 carries (9.8 ypc) in this game.  Chris Jennings gave Harrison a break once in a while as he carried the ball 7 times for 18 yards (2.6 ypc).  Chansi Stuckey led the way in the passing game with 5 grabs for 41 yards (8.2 avg).  The Browns finished up with 417 total yards in this game (351 rushing, 66 passing) as they held onto the ball for 34:25 today.

The defense was pretty awful in this game for the Browns today but in the end the offense and special teams covered for them.  CB Eric Wright (8 tackles) and LB David Bowens (7 tackles) led the way for the Browns’ D today.  OLB Matt Roth had another solid game for the Browns with 4 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss, 1 sack, 1 QB hit and a fumble recovery.  The Chiefs finished up with 491 total yards in this game (168 rushing, 323 passing).  The Browns are now 3-11 on the year as they now have a 2-game winning streak.

The Browns wanted the game more than the Steelers did last night in one of the most surprising games of the year.  Brady Quinn had a off night for the Browns as he only completed 6 of 19 passes for 90 yards in the Winter Wonderland called Cleveland Browns Stadium last night.  Joshua Cribbs was the star of this game for the Browns as he carried the ball 8 times for 87 yards (10.9 ypc) and he also caught 1 pass for 9 yards.  That wasn’t all he did as he returned 2 kickoffs for 43 yards (21.5 avg) and 2 punts for 61 yards (30.5 avg).  So that means that Cribbs touched the football 13 times for 200 total all-purpose yards meaning that he averaged 15.4 yards every time he touched the football last night!  Chris Jennings also had a big game for the Browns with 73 yards rushing on 20 carries (3.7 ypc) with 1 TD run.  Jerome Harrison only rushed for 9 yards on 7 carries (1.3 ypc) but he added 2 catches for 10 yards (5.0 avg).  The Browns finished up with 255 total yards on offense (171 rushing, 84 passing) in this game.

The Browns won this game on the defensive side of the football with a superhuman team effort resulting in 8 sacks of Ben Roethlisberger.  Eric Wright led the way for the Browns on D in this game with 7 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss and 1 pass defensed.  DE Corey Williams had by far his best game ever for the Browns as he finished up with 5 tackles, 2 tackles for a loss, 2 sacks and 2 QB hits.  DE Brian Schaefering finally got a chance to show what he could do for the Browns and he responded with 5 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss, 2 QB hits and 1.5 sacks.  Linebacker David Bowens also had a huge game with 5 tackles, 2 tackles for a loss, 1 pass defensed, 1 sack and 2 QB hits.  Bowens also deflected a pass on the Steelers’ last play of the game last night.  LB/DE Marcus Benard also had a solid game with 3 tackles, 2 tackles for a loss, 2 sacks and 2 passes defensed.  The Steelers finished up with only 216 total yards on offense (75 rushing, 141 passing) in this game.  The Browns are now 2-11 on the year.

The Browns were sleepwalking for three quarters as they were trailing the Chargers 27-7 heading into the 4th quarter.  The Browns somehow made a game of it in the 4th quarter as they outscored the Chargers 16-3 in the final quarter before falling short.  Brady Quinn was sharp in this game as he completed 25 of 45 passes for 271 yards with 3 TD passes and 0 INTs.  He also carried the ball 2 times for 8 yards (4.0 ypc) but he lost a fumble deep in Chargers’ territory that really hurt the Browns in the first half.  Josh Cribbs led the Browns in rushing today with 38 yards on 4 carries (9.5 ypc).  Jerome Harrison was very busy in this game carrying the ball 10 times for 35 yards (3.5 ypc) and he also caught 7 passes for 62 yards (8.9 avg) with 2 TD grabs.  Chris Jennings pitched in with 28 yards rushing on 5 carries (5.6 ypc) in this game.  TE Evan Moore came off the practice squad last night and he led the way in the passing game for the Browns today with 6 grabs for 80 yards (13.3 avg).  Brian Robiskie (4 rec, 69 yards) and Mohamed Massaquoi (2 rec, 24 yards, TD) also did a solid job in the passing game for the Browns today.  The Browns finished up with 372 total yards (115 rushing, 257 passing) in this game.

S/CB Mike Adams led the way for the Browns on D in this game with 7 tackles including 1 tackle for a loss.  DE Robaire Smith and S/CB Hank Poteat each pitched in with 6 tackles apiece in this game.  The Chargers finished up with 477 total yards in this game (91 rushing, 386 passing).  The Browns are now 1-11 on the year but at least they showed some heart in this game.
