Cleveland Browns | Edwards ties touchdown record
Steve King, Staff Writer

EAST RUTHERFORD. N.J. -- Browns wide receiver Braylon Edwards tied the team record for most touchdown receptions in a season with his four-yarder early in the second half of Sunday's game against the New York Jets at The Meadowlands.
That score, which put the Browns ahead 14-3, gives him 13 for the season and a piece of the mark also held by wide receiver Gary Collins (1963).

Lewis, defense key wild 24-18 win
Jeff Walcoff, Staff Writer
12.09.2007
The Browns appeared to be headed to a comfortable victory Sunday at the Meadowlands.
But the 2007 version of the Kardiac Kids were having no part of that.
The New York Jets scored a late touchdown and recovered an onside kick to put themselves in position to take the lead, but the Browns held the Jets out of the end zone in the final two minutes to secure a 24-18 victory.

Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- LaDainian Tomlinson wanted to eliminate all the risks of trying a field goal in overtime.
So he took the ball, cut to his left and outran everyone on a 16-yard touchdown run with 7:29 left in overtime, finishing off the Chargers' rally from a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Tennessee Titans 23-17 on Sunday.

Cleveland survives Jets' attempt to crash its party
Browns slippery performance ends with a one-game lead over Titans, Bills in the fight for an AFC wild-card spot.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. ? If one was looking for a definitive performance that stamped the Cleveland Browns as a threat to make a deep playoff run, they didn't find it here.
As defensive end Simon Fraser phrased it following Sunday's messy 24-18 win over the New York Jets, "We're just lucky we got away with one."

BULL RUSH IN CLUTCH Lewis' dash seals victory in ugly game; hope still alive
By Marla Ridenour
Beacon Journal sportswriter
Published on Monday, Dec 10, 2007
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.: The Browns' 24-18 victory Sunday over the New York Jets was a triumph of substance over style.
Despite nearly blowing a 17-6 fourth-quarter lead and needing Joe Jurevicius to recover two of the Jets' three onside kicks in the final 2:59, the Browns (8-5) took a major step in the race for an AFC wild-card berth.
In a driving rain, Jamal Lewis bulled 31 yards for a touchdown that gave the Browns a 24-15 lead with 1:22 remaining, prompting excited owner Randy Lerner to pound the table in his booth with both fists.
''Jamal broke loose like a madman,'' receiver Braylon Edwards said.
''At that moment in the game, he looked like a man possessed,'' Jurevicius said.

Win is nice, but Browns need to finish Browns reach Jets 22, then settle for field goal
Published on Monday, Dec 10, 2007
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.: This wasn't a win worthy of Four Horsemen-esque words (''Outlined against a blue-gray October sky . . . '')
Nope. Not this one.
Yes, the Browns won a game in the Meadowlands, and that's what matters. But until a Jamal Lewis rumble late in the game, their play did not send fireworks over the Statue of Liberty.
The Browns tried to give it away at the end, but were helped by the bizarre belief of coach Eric Mangini that his New York Jets could recover not one but two onside kicks in one game.

Jurevicius comes up big during Jets' onside kicks Browns veteran receiver recovers two of three attempts in last 2:59
By Marla Ridenour
Beacon Journal sportswriter
Published on Monday, Dec 10, 2007
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.: Joe Jurevicius said he's never seen three onside kicks in a game and hopes he never does again.
But the sure hands of Jurevicius helped save the day as the Browns escaped Giants Stadium Sunday with a 24-18 victory over the New York Jets.
Jets kicker Mike Nugent booted three onside kicks in the final 2:59 and Jurevicius recovered two, including the last one with 32 seconds remaining. The outcome was crucial for the Browns (8-5), who now control their own destiny in the AFC wild-card playoff race.

Lewis runs for more than was expected Clutch play designed to gain three yards, but excellent blocks lead way to end zone
By Patrick McManamon
Beacon Journal sportswriter
Published on Monday, Dec 10, 2007
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.: Derek Anderson said in the huddle he wanted three yards.
That's all.
Jamal Lewis gave the Browns 31 ? and a touchdown that more or less sealed a win over the New York Jets in the Meadowlands.
''It ended up going farther than we thought it would,'' Lewis said.
The reason: the blocking on the left side of the line and the running of Lewis.
That touchdown gave the Browns a 24-15 lead with 1:22 left and meant the Jets' last-gasp efforts would require a miracle.
They didn't get it, thanks to Lewis, who had his third 100-yard game of the season (21 carries, 118 yards) and scored two touchdowns (on a 7-yard reception and the 31-yard run).

Ridenour on the Browns
No shortage of MVPs in Cleveland this year Thomas, Steinbach, Cribbs and Anderson have role in incredible turnaround
Published on Sunday, Dec 09, 2007
In the spirit of election week, as the NFL conducts Pro Bowl voting, it's time to consider the Browns' leading candidates for 2007 Most Valuable Player.
Referee Pete Morelli (who elected to discuss Phil Dawson's double-bounce field goal in Baltimore), back judge Keith Ferguson (who got the call right), Baltimore Ravens coach Brian Billick (who kicked to Joshua Cribbs) and other opponents and their gaffes will be excluded.
But it is not a players-only list. Whether or not this turns out to be Tony Rizzo's season of dreams, there are several worthy nominees who helped the Browns return to respectability.

Cleveland Browns' ugly victory over New York Jets helps bid for playoffs
Browns' ugly win aids playoff bid
Monday, December 10, 2007Tony Grossi
Plain Dealer Reporter
East Rutherford, N.J.- Style points don't count in the NFL. This isn't that goofy BCS college system.
That's a good thing for the Browns. They struggled on offense, gave up a ton of yards on defense and were outplayed and outcoached on special teams.
But with a cold rain pelting a nearly empty Giants Stadium, they survived a strategy-filled fourth quarter and outlasted the going-nowhere New York Jets, 24-18, to strengthen their hold on an AFC playoff berth.

Lewis is the raging storm Browns need

Plain Dealer Columnist
East Ruther ford, N.J.
-- Rain was falling like the Browns' lead, and the cold was settling into men's bones as if establishing squatter's rights to hypothermia. The days are short and sullen. It is December in the NFL. The games are meaner and more brutish.
It is Jamal Lewis' time.

Braylon Edwards ties Gary Collins for share of Cleveland Browns' TD reception record
Monday, December 10, 2007Mary Kay Cabot
Plain Dealer Reporter
East Rutherford, N.J. -- In only his third season, receiver Braylon Edwards tied Gary Collins' franchise record of 13 touchdown catches set in 1963.
He did so on a 4-yard catch in the end zone on which he climbed up over the back of New York Jets rookie Darrelle Revis and snatched the ball.
"It feels good," Edwards said of tying the record. "You look at the guys who have played here -- the Paul Warfields and Gary Collins and Webster Slaughters and Ozzie Newsomes and to tie the all-time record for touchdowns in a season means a lot."
