The Cleveland Browns finished their season strong against the 49ers with a strong win on Sunday.  Josh Cribbs had another incredible game as he returned 2 kickoffs for 57 yards (28.5 avg) and he also returned 4 punts for 135 yards (33.8 avg) including a 76-yarder for a TD.  Derek Anderson completed 11 of 20 passes for 152 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 interception.  Anderson got injured right before the half and Brady Quinn made his NFL debut.  Quinn led the Browns to a field goal right before the half as he completed 3 of 8 passes for 45 yards.  But, Braylon Edwards and Kellen Winslow each dropped a pass in the end zone that hit them right in the hands.  Jamal Lewis finished the season strong with 128 yards rushing on 26 carries (4.9 ypc).  Jerome Harrison also got some work in late in the game as he carried the ball 8 times for 32 yards (4.0 ypc) to help the Browns run out the clock.  Braylon Edwards (3 rec, 67 yards, TD) and Kellen Winslow (4 rec, 62 yards) led the way in the passing attack for the Browns.  The Browns finished up with 163 yards rushing on 36 carries (4.5 ypc) and they also completed 14 of 28 passes for 195 yards.

Linebackers D’Qwell Jackson (9 tackles, sack), Willie McGinest (5 tackles, 2 sacks) and Leon Williams (3 tackles, 2 sacks) were all over the place for the Browns on defense.  The 49ers finished up with 112 yards rushing on 24 carries (4.7 ypc) and they also completed 13 of 22 passes for 73 yards.

The Cleveland Browns playoff hopes are now in the hands of the Tennessee Titans after losing a game they should have won.  Derek Anderson had a bad game at the wrong time of the season for the Browns.  Anderson completed 29 of 48 passes for 251 yards with 2 TD passes and 4 very costly interceptions.  Jamal Lewis had another good game as he carried the ball 21 times for 92 yards (4.4 ypc) and he also caught 5 passes for 42 yards (8.4 avg).  Jason Wright also had an outstanding game as he carried the ball 3 times for 38 yards (12.7 ypc) and he also caught 3 passes for 34 yards (11.3 avg).  Kellen Winslow had a solid game as he caught 7 passes for 73 yards (10.4 avg).  Braylon Edwards had a good game too as he caught 8 passes for 52 yards (6.5 avg) with 2 TD grabs.  The Browns finished up with 136 yards rushing on 26 carries (5.2 ypc) and they also completed 29 of 48 passes for 244 yards.

Sean Jones (9 tackles), Shaun Smith (8 tackles) and Leigh Bodden (5 tackles, 2 interceptions) led the way for the Browns on defense.  The Bengals finished up with 155 yards rushing on 33 carries (4.7 ypc) and they also completed 11 of 21 passes for 115 yards.

The Browns got screwed on the last play of the game as Kellen Winslow appeared to catch a pass from Derek Anderson in the end zone and get pushed out of bounds.  But, the refs stuck it to the Browns and upheld the call.  Derek Anderson had a so-so game as he completed 21 of 41 passes for 304 yards with 2 TD passes and 2 interceptions.  One of the interceptions was returned 71 yards for a TD by Roderick Hood and he also lost a fumble in the first quarter which led to a TD by the Cardinals.  Jamal Lewis carried the ball 16 times for 62 yards (3.9 ypc) and he also caught 3 passes for 24 yards (8.0 avg) with a TD grab.  Braylon Edwards had a great game as he caught 7 passes for 149 yards (21.3 avg) with a TD.  The Browns finished up with 84 yards rushing on 21 carries (4.0 ypc) and they also completed 21 of 41 passes for 295 yards.

The Browns played their best defensive game in a long time as the Cardinals were set up with a lot of short fields.  Sean Jones led the way on the Browns defense with 5 tackles and a interception.  The Cardinals finished up with 133 yards rushing on 27 carries (4.9 ypc) and they also completed 18 of 30 passes for 169 yards.
