Browns Win First of the Year
10-11-2009 5:07 pm

Better late than never.

The Browns have their first win of the season thanks to an 18-yard Billy Cundiff field goal with 23 seconds left.

The final: Browns 6, Bills 3.

The Browns essentially won it in the punting game. Three beautiful Dave Zastudil punts were downed inside the Buffalo 5, and the winning drive was set up when Roscoe Parrish muffed a punt while trying to stop it from rolling. The Browns started at the Bills' 16 with just under three minutes remaining.

Jamal Lewis led all ball carriers with 117 yards on 31 carries, including a key first-down run inside of two minutes that allowed the Browns to kill the clock.

The Browns' only previous points came on a 24-yard Cundiff field goal midway through the second quarter. Rian Lindell's 36-yard field goal tied it on the first drive of the second half.

The Browns defense swarmed Bills QB Trent Edwards, sacking him twice and forcing him to throw the ball away on several occasions. Eric Wright had an interception on a deep pass intended for Terrell Owens at the Buffalo 7 late in the third quarter.

The Bills drove inside the Browns' 25 late in the first half before penalties pushed them back to the 31. They went for it on fourth down due to the wind. Mike Adams blasted Edwards as he threw and Brodney Pool swatted the ball away as the Browns got a big stop.
