Well, the Browns hit the field in Week 9 against Tennessee and we started to see some sustained drives out of the offense.  As I've been preaching for weeks, the turnover battle and Time of Possession battle are often the best barometers of a team's ability to win a game...  The Browns were -1 in this game on turnovers but had the ball 5 minutes longer.  The turnover battle would've been "even up" had Dilfer not thrown the desperative heave-ho to end the 1st half.  Reuben Droughns continued to pound the ball with his 2nd 100-yard effort of the year.  Droughns also chipped in 73 yards receiving.  Who would have thought, though, that former Practice Squader Jason Wright would score a Rushing TD before Droughns?  Northcutt scored on a 58-yard TD in the 1st Quarter, but caught only 2 balls after that.  Braylon Edwards was seldom used once again, catching only 1 ball for TWO YARDS!!!  Many kudos to the Offensive Line, who successfully refused to yield a sack for its 3rd time this season.

Defensively, middle man Andra Davis was the only Brown to get to McNair.  Chaun Thompson and Leigh Bodden continued their impressive 2005 campaigns as well.  Additional congrats to Brodney Pool for his first NFL interception, which couldn't have come at a better time.  Down 6 points, McNair shook free Kenard Lang and heaved the pass toward the goal line as time expired. 

Kyle Richardson bounced back with a 40+ yard average and 3 punts inside the 20.  Kick & Punt returns were noticable pathetic on their 4 return attempts.

In other news, this day marked the 10th anniversary of the day when that a-hole Modell announced he was moving the original Browns.  Screw that prick, I'm not writing any more on him...

FINAL SCORE --  Cleveland 20, Tennessee 14
