2009 Browns @ Lions

the NFL today on CBS Sports is presented by Southwest Airlines and welcome back to the NFL today we're Coors Light takes you first on the field the Browns and lions are about to do battle so let's head out to Detroit where Don crickey and Randy cross are standing by gentlemen thanks JB and welcome to Ford Field in Detroit where two teams battling to get their seasons turned around the browns and the Lions are ready to meet the fanbase is still here in Detroit the famine has been long and arduous but they're still hoping for good things to come from a very young team and afternoon everyone dog tricky with Randy cross the Browns and the Lions have a lot in common and much of it is not good starting with the 1 & 8 records but being around the Lions this week and get a feeling a good feeling about this team I think Randy they feel the nucleus of a better tomorrow than place I absolutely done it say you c21 made teens but one is much more positive that's the Detroit Lions a lot of that is due to the attitude of Jim Schwartz and this organization Chris as the nucleus on the offensive side man they have some good young play makers 2009's number one overall pick Matthew Stafford he's being a rookie great plays and some bad ones Kevin Smith at a UCF and set a good job at running back one of the better receivers in the entire league and Calvin Johnson and on the tight end side Brandon Pettigrew a late first round pick this year's playing as good as anybody in his position on the defensive side the Lions pass defensive numbers are woeful they have really struggled you see opposing quarterbacks completing 71% opposing quarterback with a rating of over 107 that has to get better in the NFL there's a long-standing ed is that pass offense starts with pass blocking so it really doesn't matter where this Brady Quinn or Derrick Anderson or the great out of Graham if they could bring him back unless the Browns protect their quarterback they're not be able to get the ball downfield and score well for Eric Mangini football team this week that is going to be Brady Quinn and he knows Eric Mangini does that they've got to protect better they've got to execute overall better for the offense to be any kind of effective the last five weeks the last five games this offense has been basically in neutral effect going backwards 22 yards against Buffalo and they won that game they brought 417 yards total in five weeks is what they got out of the passing game he had half of that today you've got a heck of a day for this offense Browns did place a much-improved offense on Monday night albeit enough 16 to nothing loss to the Baltimore Ravens but there was some very strong defensive performances and they plan on that continuing today absolutely you know the Baltimore Ravens came damaged aerial circus almost despite the fact that they've been known as the runnings even John Rogers and Kamerion Wimbley the entire defense stepped up and stopped Baltimore held in the ten points a huge night for them but they offense scored no points and now Randy a look at your cross-examination of some key matchups today Calvin Johnson is number two in the league and yards after the catch so not only can they go down the field but also after the catch and it'll be the job of Eric Wright working one corner here working against tio and Buffalo and Brandon McDonald's on the other side when he gets the assignment staying with Calvin Johnson and limiting those huge plays they can get out of the passing game all right Randy cross time now for the Home Depot tools to victory for the Cleveland Browns Sean Rogers former number one pick here in Detroit is back his neighborhood clogged the entire inside of that run defense and pressure the quarterback from the inside Matthew Stafford two weeks ago five interceptions last week zero how about putting back-to-back mistake three days together for Matthew Stafford and if you look at the two teams points from the other two and that means from the defense and the special teams near Cleveland Browns if they often st. going to score you guys better take over and for Detroit don't turn the ball over on your side of the field and give this Cleveland offenses short field and confidence for more Home Depot player stats log on to CBS sports.com so we're ready to go at Detroit for the winner today a long season could get a lot better the Cleveland Browns and the Detroit Lions are next they played four times for the NFL championship in the 50s they're looking to get all that back today at the try two longtime rivals the Browns and the Lions are ready to meet both mired in one and eight seasons both teams feel they can win today we'll find out who's right next today's game is brought to you in Sony high-definition they kick off next [Music] they're sealed in Detroit almonds today they meet the Browns Ricky with Randy cross want us to take ALA started Jason to the veteran here our state right off fight Ashley worked some concerns you know ray after he was Monday be ready today but there's ready to go done back six care for staff shorts to get rid sit and up gold and get the ball to about b6y alert one of them churches on out win even Brown's near player from the day the ones down finer sins the mental ward is easier has been there in the creep there the tell him Rep Porter bet not time to bottle no points night the good deferred against they go right at the Lions and the hard running it's Jamal Lewis it's taken down by middle backer Larry put Center for the Cleveland Browns is Alec Mack first-year player from Cal at some shotgun snap problems earlier this season but coming on strong they really like him and the skill position players joshua Cribs is the guy that can do it all he's caught touchdown passes he's run back kickoffs and punts for touchdowns he may very well be the best player on the Browns team and players down that looks like William James covering the kick for the Lions we'll be back after this second Detroit William James of the Lions shaken up covering the opening kickoff seems to be much better now but he's on the bench as the Browns go first in second and four where the ball is located after the run it's got the game but Jamal Lewis win with a long count looking to throw downfield he does long ball right on target across the 50 yard line for the Browns hit deep Massaquoi rookie makes the big play a good throw by Quinn a 24 yard game beautiful high and outside backside shoulder throw by Brady Quinn Philip you can and trying to get the coverage trying to run down the field with Massaquoi but the ball thrown short and behind the receiver nice throw by Quinn good coordination and back to first down and back to the Ron and Jamal Lewis the 10-year veteran from Tennessee who you know three ran for over two thousand yards at Baltimore as we look at the Lions on defense cliff Averill will start a defensive end for Dwayne white who's out today Larry Foote middle linebacker for the Lions he was with the Steelers championship team last season and that's how the secondary looks Lewis delmas a rookie from Western Michigan he's been terrific rookie starters back to the run again on second down in about six and they worked the big guy Jamal Lewis he's taken down by defensive back Kevin Hobbs when you look at this offense for Cleveland and what they've done this no huddle gave Baltimore a little bit of a problem last week and they decided you know don't hurry but with this no huddle it does limit substitutions let you dictate the coverage a little bit here we go Randy with a third down now for Quinn and the Browns offense they need five our pattern connection made first down made also Chauncey Stuckey is knocked out of bounds by a former Brown Anthony Henry pepti Browns drive on looking sharp in this opening drive you saw that job Chauncey Stuckey in the short motion towards the center turns right around comes back to the outside zone coverage no one up close enough just an easy little pitching catch for Quinn and a first down and this is about as much continuity as I've seen out of this Cleveland Brown offense yeah one of their better drives opening drive of the game after the lines kicked off [Applause] run and Jamal Lewis doesn't get a whole lot big lion defensive front slows it up and Julian Peterson makes the step the last ten the Browns had an opening drive touchdown was a while ago back in November of a seven that was against the Steelers at Pittsburgh so the struggles on the offensive side are nothing new we got a lion down on an injury and a lot of that goes back to the coordination at quarterback the lack of a quarterback you heard boomer rant on about that in the pregame show the emphasis on the quarterback and how they haven't had a guy it's it's weird to think that Matthew Stafford and Brady Quinn though Don have the same amount of starts Brady Quinn in his third year in a league Matthew Stafford just getting through the first half of this season I really don't know how much the Cleveland Browns really know about Brady Quinn giving him a chance now to get these reps in I think is very important last year when he got hurt and broke that finger it really short-circuited a lot of their plans with Cleveland well as he said you know he had he was humbled early in his career at Notre Dame ended up as the Maxwell Award winner he was pummeled early in his career with the Browns and he's looking for better things Big Joe Cohen from Florida shaking up on that play interior defensive lineman so the Browns have advanced the ball now down to the Lions 31 yard line with second down coming up and they'll need eight when you see Gaines number 86 in the game and he's in the backfield he's in as a shorten motion almost like a an extra pulling guard for this offense for Cleveland here's Quinta the shotgun now when a big physically very strong 6-3 235 little change that little audible protection moves left they send blitzes fires downfield as well just to get the ball away Gunther Cunningham the defensive coordinator for the Lions has 60 blitzes in his playbook there's one of them well and that was a big stunt to clean a virile starting at the right defensive end spot he comes right through pretty clean Dwayne white was starting over at that left defense of a right defensive end spot and he's inactive today for Detroit April 1/2 to Quinn for three straight years when April's at Purdue he's got there Cunningham he loves the Blitz and now third down coming out third down and a long seven almost eight [Applause] rounds with five receivers in an open backfield if they hit me they had Brady Quinn hesitating they were showing the Blitz they were bringing the Blitz and he gets caught the play clock expires Kerry McCauley our referee so now the dilemma gets deeper third down in almost 13 [Applause] this is probably a little bit further than Dawson's is going to be effective so I'm not sure if you don't go twice from this area in the field 36 yard line here is Quinn gets a little time out kind of nicely [Applause] to the far outside of Massaquoi he is going to be short of the first down by about a yard no more nayyar to again Buchanan's off Massaquoi pretty good they're showing the Blitz they give a fire zone and the zone is on the outside too and began in that fire off he doesn't give up enough for the first down but he gives enough to get Cleveland's field goal team on the on the field and Phil Dawson a chance to kick this build off 44 yard attempt he missed five games that cheer with a leg injury but back in good health Efrain set down good ball is powered down and throw and the Browns who were shut out Monday night at home by the Ravens get points on their first possession they take a three nothing lead good start for the Browns and the Browns will kick off when we come back to Detroit the NFL on CBS is sponsored by Southwest Airlines go to Southwest Calm grab your bag it's on Verizon Wireless America's largest 3G network and by Bud Light with a just right taste that's not too heavy not too light the difference is drinkability [Music] 44-yard field goals my Cleveland's Phil Dawson opens the scoring nine play drive Quinn with three or four throwing the ball for 40 yards on the drive and now the Browns kickoff well hit hard downfield turns out wide and gets out to the 20-yard line and that's where the Lions will start an offense for the first time today like Costanzo making the stop on special teams for the Cleveland Browns as Matt Stafford comes out to quarterback the Lions the number one tick in the entire draft coach Jim Schwartz told us he's never seemed like the rookie even on the first day very smart very cerebral from Mendes arms oh yeah watch this kid didn't practice he can really gun the ball whoops nobody's actually in practice though does that's it right now the first throwers [Music] look at this this could go Kevin Smith is inside the 20 and all the way down to the 16 yard line Rodney Poole saves a touchdown and on their opening play from scrimmage the Lions hit a 64 yard pass play well Kevin Smith lines up in the backfield and watch him just come through here on the fake and when he does come through no one is with him the entire defense bites and shifts when they bite when they bite then they all shift away there was no one on Kevin Smith getting a nice job down downfield by Calvin Johnson blocking wise too now the Lions go to the run Maurice Morris runs the ball averaging three a to carry the season an 8-year veteran out of Oregon stepped by my 'va a rookie inside linebacker for the Cleveland Browns in Southern California fourth round draft choice Detroit bringing out a little no huddle of their own to try to limit Cleveland or what they can do what they can do with substitutions let's see what they do here with three wide outs of the game one runner behind Stafford 54% completions in his rookie season and Morris playing the cutback doesn't get much he is stopped at about the 13 yard line it's gonna bring a third down and six Daniel Loper starts at right guard today Peterman is out for the Lions and at the skill positions [Music] Vanda watch calvin johnson the great young player from Georgia Tech who has 13 touchdowns over the last two seasons 13 TD reception down here in the red zone Don Pettigrew and Johnson both huge weapons with their size and ability to jump where they are big targets and right now staff is looking at him almost to pick they were looking at Calvin Johnson down at the 11 yard line and Rodney Poole makes a big play and knocks it down almost got it that was an excellent job by Cleveland just staying little zone underneath Rodney Poole reacting quickly and that plays into the Cleveland advantage when you're not going to use your size you're not going to go into the end zone let your guys go up after it a lot of crossing underneath no confusion out of Cleveland doesn't give you much of a chance and now getting a chance to put points on the board for the Lions is their kicker Jason Hanson on the way and through and we're tied up at three all the big play on this drive for the Browns their first play from scrimmage of 64 yard s play so now it'll be the Lions kicking off when we come back watch fantasy football today to get the last-minute news and analysis you need to set your fantasy league lineup live every Sunday at 11 a.m. Eastern only on CBS sports.com boys scoring drives 5 plays 68 yards almost all becoming on the opening pass play and then the 31 yard field goal by Hansen to tie the game at 3 all well what a nice play by Scott Linehan the offensive coordinator sitting on the bench there with Matthew Stafford with that quick little dump off screen to Smith on the first play it is the only part of Josh Cribbs and they kicked short polish pawel picked up on the ground turn out to cross the 40-yard line Lawson brings it back you know get down you got to remember you know last time Cleveland now has the ball this last Drive good coordination a lot of Jamal Lewis a lot of Brady Quinn getting the ball to Massaquoi we haven't seen curbs involved in the offense yet remember he runs the Wildcat for Cleveland and it's been very effective and if your Detroit you want to keep the ball away from cribs cribs returned to kickoff for a touchdown in the preseason that was called back and then a pump later in the same preseason game that was returned for a touchdown they have a healthy respect for what he can do with the ball in air and they should in his career he is eight kick returns for touchdowns six on six off two on putz Josh Cribbs first and 10 grounds win play fake looking deep a big on in an open receiver and the prize with a sensational throw to mexicoís then they couldn't get the ball downfield Monday night they are doing it today a 59-yard scoring play the Massaquoi was working inside against Phillip Buchanon a little coordination problem between he and Co Simpson at safety his teams had five touchdowns the entire season fact five touchdowns the last 15 games making it look easy right now against Detroit Massaquoi and Matthew Stafford are Matt Brady Quinn just have it going on working against Buchanan and Simpson as you know Randy a Massaquoi very close friend of the Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford they played together at Georgia so Massaquoi a big play his first touchdown reception in the NFL we were to get more points than they're averaging coming into this game this entire game that is the truth in the Browns score twice and two possessions this of the sensational variety and they take a 10 to 3 lead [Music] the NFL on CBS is sponsored by viagra and by the Motorola Cliq by motoblur the first phone with social skills we're back to Ford Field in Detroit where the Browns make it happen fast on their second possession a one-play 59 yard drive the raid equid the Mohamad Massaquoi touchdown pass and the Browns have a 10 to 3 lead now they kick off again a high spinning kick from the eight [Applause] at the 22-yard line got to about the 24 stands there with another special teams tackle there's Massaquoi there's Buchan and there's simpson pay particular attention right here to what happens with Phillip Buchanon and he's kind of peaking in the backfield he goes to get a jam on Massaquoi and as he's peeking he mrs. Simpson never gets over to this even to half the field it looked like it was some sort of three-man coverage with a single man high when the Browns hit a rare big scoring pass play he was season the handoff goes to Kevin Smith again that they really feel has the potential to be uh and outstanding go to back the problem with going against this Cleveland running game is inside you've got you know not only Sean Rogers but Bowens is inside is that inside linebacker my Ava's in there too is playing so well Bowens is kind of the new brain of the defense at linebacker since they lost because they lost uh actually yeah an Eric Barton Eric Barton was calling all the defense's and now it's got to be a guy like Bowen and he did that last last year at the Jets for maintaining captain because he's calling defensive saying if they go back to Kevin Smith the Lions the second and nine play get the about four out to the 31 yard line so it's going to bring up third down and four now for Matthew Stafford and the Lions offense and without huddling again it's limiting the substitutions a little bit and it's not a bad thing to get in third and short third and four all comes in hives Dennis Northcutt with former Brown he was their second round pick back in 2000 little high for him and so the Lions stall on their second possession hefty punt and Brandon McDonald just poaching back waiting for North cut just know what's for lunch ribs that's all he's looking at and he was in front of the first down marker that play never had a chance go into punt is Nick Harris it's a high one a spiral directional punt to the far sideline beautifully done when you keep Josh Cribbs out of the equation as far as a return you've done well but the Browns take over the ball again with a 10 to 3 lead at Detroit I'm tricky with Randy cross back at Ford Field in Detroit the 59-yard touchdown pass was the Browns longest pass play of the season the longest play of any kind the longest of Brady Quinton's career as a pro running hard he always does as Jamal Lewis 245 pounder the Browns already with 10 points more than they average a game look at that they're under 9 points a game for the season coming into this and this is since 1950 Wow this is the fewest in a season per game so this is a kind of area that they're not used to being out in front if they were a sled-dog team they're not used to this kind of fresh air their view is a little usually a little bit different yeah maybe the lead dog is led got to assume he never changes it Mary you talked about gunther cunningham loving the Blitz he brings a corner blitz on this play blitz an inside a little bit to get the attention the corner blitz coming off the edge that's just great coordination and foot the linebacker 55 cleans up the scraps inside on the attempted screen [Applause] that brings up a third down in just over ten eleven yards needed a shotgun snap to Quinn Lions coming win dunks it filled with the ball as Jamaa Lewis makes the catch and on third and 11 the plant past play goes for 13 yards and a Browns first down well DeAndre Levy misses the tackle and when DeAndre Levy misses this tackle he's the first guy the first guy misses the tackle you're gonna give up a first down I would love to know the percentages that that happens but Levy missing that tackle almost guaranteed Jamal Lewis a first down I really like a levy before said use everything you'd want in a linebacker like defensive right now hands off in the run an Arizona Browns break another first down play Co Simpson knocking him out of bounds but he does it 16 yards downfield nice job on that left side look at him crease it out Jamal Lewis gets himself a nice little block wasn't exactly a form block he'd using a in a clinic but it was all they needed to get that edge hey remember levy is starting for Ernie Sims a pretty good little linebacker in himself Detroit Lions with a hamstring problem well again the Wildcat and when Cribs gets in there he runs that thing very very effectively I'm surprised they don't run it more often in fact as successful as he's been inside when he gets at the quarterback in that Wildcat look he of course it was a quarterback at Kent State now he stays in the game up top as a wide receiver Don he do you can do everything there is there's cribs they don't they don't they use them when he gets in the game usual let's play nothing up front and look at the gen and somehow find his way when he's seemingly was going to be knocked down for a three-yard loss Jason hunter finally runs him down from the defensive end position yeah I've got all the respect in the world for an Adrian Peterson who came in here and from Minnesota and broke a lot of tackles but if I was a running back like Jennings I watched that tape and I'd say hey you know these guys grab a lot and if we're going to grab a lot I'm gonna take advantage of it he just didn't stop I don't think his knee hit the ground there did it it looks like it or anything it looked like he hit was the drunk lion on the ground that was it that was great want to and great keep going red flag is out though like contact timeout or anything I saw it was putting his hand down on the ground the hand does not count as being down the forearm work comes down up and I thought the knees did not strike anything but lion and defender spin I think that one's on the lion Randee crosses we looked during the timeout some of the replays looks like his knee was down yeah at first I thought it came down on Averell 92 right there watch his left knee right on the ground right there that is clearly down it is about the 41 42 yard line there burned down in six and a half timeout so a good red flag go for the read review of the plane by Jim Schwartz the guy we talked to Kelvin Johnson about you once let's us again now very clearly his downs that left knee just comes down right there on the ground you can see that was clearly down good call by the officials as to Kelvin Jansen what do you like about your new coach Jim Schwartz he says he has it don't back down attitude you like that lady Quinn often a long receiver again another touchdown for the Browns Chauncey Stuckey as Brady Quinn with the long balls is lighten it up in Detroit that was a 40 yard score boy William James who was out of the game earlier with a little stinger trying to tackle Jamal Lewis trails the entire way took a little bite on that play action pump Chauncey Stuckey wide open and this is uncharted territory for this passing game they're going to go off on somebody eventually I guess but I don't know if the toys got much of an excuse as a defense from giving up these kind of huge chunks that's just a lack of discipline Stuckey one of the guys that came in from the New York Jets we played for mantini last year and the extra point is up and good and Lyons on the road in a short week they played Monday night have jumped to a 17 to 3 lead and the Lions are hearing it from their fans and it ain't good he just joined us that is correct the Browns with 17 first quarter points during this season so far through the first nine games they've averaged under nine points a game but Brady Quinn a phenomenal start seven of eight throwing the ball for 147 yards and two long touchdowns and they've already doubled up their normal point allotment for the day Cleveland has and they've really done it on the big plays the last one it was a man coverage which was really inexcusable as far behind James as Chauncey Stuckey got it'll kick they kick it to an up back line to keep it away from the good returners like follow rounded back there Stuckey there's James watch there's no help back here there's free in the middle this is manned up across the top there just playing quarters up chancy Stuckey just puts it in about fourth gear and lays James somewhere in second gear looking for the clutch but he does have a burst in a changing speeds a third-year player from Clemson Chauncey Stuckey now under senators Matt Stafford who needs to make some big plays and here comes up lifts a big one is picked up bounce came up with the ball [Applause] Eric white [Applause] and finally play the lion Blanche fans are actually cheering the Browns at this point I'm not sure if Jeff the Browns fans - not sure if Jeff Baucus who made the tackle right there didn't give them a face mask on air cried first wasn't a face mask he grabbed the infeed helmets opening used it as a tackle 40-yard returned by Eric Wright beautiful catch he talks about his speed every time he talked to this young man eventually in your conversation he's going to tell you how fast he is and I think he's got everybody in Detroit convinced that he's got some pretty good wheels watch back his 76 grabbed the part of the helmet didn't get the facemask but grab the opening of the helmet and that was the personal foul that moves it down at the six and when you asked him Randy about giving away so much size trying to defend people like the tremendous wide receiver calvin johnson he said he looks forward to challenges like that i'm not growing between now and tomorrow it who arms on the ball now Lois pounds straight ahead inside the five on a first and goal carry Sammy Lee hill on the stop well keep in mind what we told you about these Cleveland Browns they weren't scoring many points first nine games in the first quarter they had nine points nine games that is not a typo they were averaging a point a game in the first quarter 17 right now I don't think you're Andy they're done scoring in the first quarter today as they have at second and going now at the 4 yard line of the Lions our set Twain looks stellen Cleveland crazy Quinn with three touchdown throws in the first quarter Josh Cribbs on the payoff end well that was a pass pattern that just required protection and man did Brady Quinn get protection cuz DRA scribbs lined up on the right side in a win type position in tight and he drug all the way across the field and you saw Brady Quinn able to just stand in at quarterback wait wait Pat the ball and then deliver a strike to Josh Cribbs Quinn go to that camp even indoors the extra point is hit up and good and the Cleveland Browns with an unlikely score extend now to a 24 to 3 lead over the Lions at Detroit to 52 still to be played in the first quarter watch the protection and the calm of Grady Quinn in the pocket and laid across the back of the end zone there's Josh Cribbs he had the protection and he had very nice accuracy watch the inside Mac and company inside do a real nice job of giving Brady Quinn an area not only to look but also to step up into and what kind of a day is Brady Quinn having he's hit eight of nine passes for a 151 yards and three touchdowns in the first quarter I grew up wanting to play for the Cleveland Browns outside of Columbus Ohio they're average on the season 116 yards a game and this quarter they've got that kind of numbers and in case you're curious and you did tune in Monday night yes this is the same Cleveland Browns they didn't leave pods under everybody's beds and there's not some some space team now playing in Cleveland this is the same football team that's getting the breaks not making the mistakes and right now Matthew Stafford and the Detroit Lions on both sides of the ball are making mistakes the Lions will get it again in Stafford now pretty much forced into throwing the ball downfield early if the game is to get back in this Beckett turn out across the 45 across the 50 off Beverly marker is down in now a second back at the 32 yard line of the Lions so you're gonna have a few blocks in the backs I think our Holdings at wipes out a 57 year yard kickoff return [Applause] some beautiful coordination and they really took advantage of Cleveland getting out of position but one bad block brings it all back and puts Matthew Stafford in this offense on their own 22 yard line Aaron Brown a rookie from TCU but now they are set back to their 22 first and 10 for the Lions Jim Schwartz and his team a big hole to dig out of as the Browns have really opened up in the first quarter in most sensational quarter maybe in some years we can't at a time so this calm down and be efficient if you're Matthew Stafford there's a nice timing flow of the mill on a crossing pattern I grew the tight-end six-six 265 pounds knocking people down in a 29-yard game this week days all new with Natalie Portman Dec Efron and Rihanna plus tomorrow gets Robin Williams followed by the Late Show with Craig Ferguson only CBS good game by the Lions in there across midfield our game I like to look at it's no huddle with four Detroit a few problems with his big prize [Applause] as Kevin Smith he has a first down and while we have a moment let's head to New York and James Brown JB hey Don and ran up 7-nothing bikes Don Ricky Randy Qualls JB nose quarterback sitting next to the Atelier Brett Favre can moved those safeties around with that pump fake as good as anybody ever has [Applause] sort of have that new life on the field Brandon Pettigrew again on a crossing pattern takedown by Kamerion Wimbley of the Browns but now the Lions moving the ball smartly a very active first quarter lots of big plays in it well Pettigrew is really sort of learning his craft the second first rounder here at Detroit this year Matthew Stafford the first pick in the draft Pettigrew coming his size six-foot-five about 260 pounds she can see you run with power he's pretty quick for that size - Koch said he puts tremendous pressure on himself make big plays throw by Stafford as in Seifer Kelvin Johnson was not in Johnson slow to get up and the brown is down Randy remember he dinged his knee up a couple of weeks ago this ball thrown on the the extreme outside where only he could get the ball he nice little throw by Matthews stafford getting a chance to get the ball out there to calvin johnson got a dick Cleveland Brown down there Don yeah he's down at the 26 or spot two they look at an apparent injury to his right leg so the clock stopped with 37 seconds to play in the first quarter and we're gonna go back to JB in New York for another update paid on into the playoff picture Dodd and Randy Thank You JB the Giants falling on hard times winless in a long time their loss to last four we're not gonna get any sympathy from Atlanta they've got a heck of a losing streak going right now - and Mike Smith's team needs to get a run on and that was David Bowens the linebacker who was down so now they're down to their third string or inside Bowens Heather terrific a Monday night against the Ravens nine tackles and two sacks that puts Blake Costanzo the special team specialist there at middle linebacker 54 bouncing in and out of the line of scrimmage he's going to come out blitz it looks like nice timing so again this is the new Java distance touchdown Aaron Brown out of the backfield [Applause] perfectly a 26-yard play on touchdown well Don the whole idea of these bubble screens they they run them in college because teams wanna blitz a spread offense here in the NFL same thing they're blitzing inside look at the look they're giving Matthew Stafford it's blitz all the way throw the bubble screen get a couple blocks out in front of your runner that was textbook quick screen big holes six points no problem for Aaron Brown and Aaron in the end zone with his first NFL touchdown the rookie from TCU nice job by Jeff Backus out they're blocking on the spring perfectly executed now ready and we have a twenty four to ten first quarter score Browns leading by fourteen and still thirty seconds to play in the first quarter one more time Ramirez the guard left guard gets out there 63 Backus gets a block raela gets a little bit of a block but once once the cutback is made and Aaron Brown gets inside there's nobody with that blitz look that's why you throw that out there because once you get past the second level which is the linebackers there's nobody to stop that string yeah he went in untouched nobody could stop it [Applause] adverse edge between Rob Ryan the defensive coordinator and Eric Mangini looking for answers I think they know the answers they want to know that the next question they know what went wrong but you got to be aggressive you've got to come after a Matthew Stafford and honestly you just got a rally to the ball and tackle you get in that situation and back has got away with a little bit of a grab on his block but if they don't call it that's just good offense hey the guys sitting next to Matthew Stafford Scott Linehan is a good football coach he's a terrific offensive coach was the head coach of the Rams through several years and now the Lions are ready to kick off Don with 30 seconds to go here in the first quarter what kind of odds woody you got in the lead it seemed 34 points between these two teams in one quarter happen 24 to 10 lady Clinton with three touchdown passes in the first quarter for Cleveland hey Gerard Lawson DB in that position that short position and he just bobbles that ball and smart decision by Detroit keeping the ball away from Josh Cribbs that Celia given some counsel there the special teams coach well these are you gonna fungal it didn't knock it out of bounds I think it's a case you know Stan Kron they off the the special teams coordinator for Detroit it's a it's a better job of them executing that is a Cleveland not being able to take advantage that was just a bad catch there the Lions defense is motivated by the good play of their offense send Chris Jennings right at the Lions and he gets out to about the 25-yard line a gain of about two so Brady Quinn having a big day and a long time tell ya charlie wife's in stock might not very high as a head coach but he said that Brady Quinn would be a standout in the NFL if he got protected well right now they're gonna go to the sideline get some oxygen all those running up and down the field the first 15 minutes wearing them out what a first quarter for the Cleveland Browns they've almost tripled their scoring average for a full game this season eight point seven points a game so far but light it up for 24 in the first quarter today on three Quinn touchdown throws now the Browns go first and ten ball positioned at their point about their 19 yard line [Applause] [Music] there is a hand up to Jennings and he's ahead Jennings doesn't get a whole lot and that brings up third and see if they can cover these Browns receivers Randy if I'm Bryan table the offensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns over there on the far sideline I'm gonna keep dialing it in down the field and if they don't stop it I don't see any particular reason why I should stop doing it Thursday Bowlby offensive coordinator for the Browns went in the shotgun he's bringing up those backers ready to blitz here they come Quinn stands in and incomplete when the Browns will finally have to punt the ball bringing the Blitz trying to get that ball to Greg a stand 'ya coming across the defense in and of itself if he gets the ball to withstand iya he's not going to get the first down little zone blitz clinton Averill you saw the defensive end was dropped off into coverage he was right in front of a standee of the tide in and he was they were both short of the first down one of the Browns best players tight end Steve hidin is out to the rest of the season the knee injury here's a punt hit downfield by Reggie Hodges [Applause] and the good special teams coverage and the stop is made of the 38-yard line of Detroit Lake Costanzo making plays and special teams staffers ready to go to work when we come back [Music] this is down cookie with Randy cross back at Ford Field in Detroit Brady Quinn with three touchdown passes in the first quarter and now a 24 10 lead for the Browns over the Lions Matthew Stafford which out Browns all over it on the son called the now pattern right out the Calvin Johnson and the McDonald was the guy who stopped him [Applause] you know before the game today the Detroit organization and their fans held a moment of silence for a Stephanie Spielman the the wife of master battle of the great lion linebacker Chris Spielman lost her battle with breast cancer it was a quite a quite a moving moment here in this state and have to send all our condolences to the schoolmen family Smith gets the pass out of the backfield and Bowens back in the game makes the stop but he does it 13 yards downfield 8 Lions getting it back to get a little bit more ND and one thing they're missing here in Detroit is something Chris Spielman was all about you talk about the abilities he had all of those but his passion for football his love of this game that the fire he played with was not unlike the the fire and the talents and Alec Barry Sanders played with him when they're sorely lacking that with his football team he was a tremendous player and now a broadcaster Chris Spielman our sympathy prayers go out to him and his family and the loss of his wife Stephanie after a long battle with cancer Jim Schwartz in his first year as head coach in Lyons told us as head coach your focus is on one thing winning the next game as far as long-range plans all at his secondary said winning next timeout trumps everything what you doing during the week as a coach Stanford gets time and the ball flutters in arm got hit coming through on the game and the Blitz they were able to affect like Bowens Stafford's arm bones comes around on the outside on that blitz and just does get the right arm the staffer to cause that little flutter sets up a third and Burton three third and four still a pretty reasonable number for this offensive but you got to throw it past the sticks here because Cleveland's already proven they're tackling pretty good they are lined again as the Browns 39 rangy receiver from Georgia Tech Calvin Johnson with a 14 yard gain on third and short that's something too Calvin Johnson can pretty much have whatever he wants it down when you think about it you're so worried about him going down the field he jabs inside working on McDonald comes back outside he's got such speed and such a wonderful ability to run after the catch in fact he's number two in the NFL behind Wes Welker and yards after the catch talk about the arm strength with Stanford he said you check your fingers no time he hums it and he called him a gunslinger from Mendes I'm Matthew Stafford the number one overall pick six to 236 pounds but what's so different about his target Calvin Johnson dine at least six five to 35 and you don't hear defensive backs like Eric right very often talk about being worried about his speed and his ability to run after the catch for a guy that big heck for a guy that day he should be a tight end extraordinary talent Calvin Johnson mr. Latta my stick wide receivers leave Detroit they didn't miss out him here is a throwdown [Applause] this game is turned around the Lions are right back in it on that 25 yard touchdown throw when you have to compliment the calm of Matthew Stafford Scott Linehan the offensive board maître GIMS Schwartz the head coach they got down 24 to 3 there was no rush to score to try to score 21 at once then can take in their big chomps and Kevin Smith get a little lonely there in the middle who field as a running back when no one's covering you it's kind of easy to hit you on a cute little pass right up the slide Kevin Smith with his first receiving touchdown of the season his fourth touchdown overall he's caught three balls today 400 yards in a touchdown extra point is good and the Lions are very much back in it when they were getting blown out on their home field they balanced by Smith and a touchdown for the Lions the NFL on CBS is sponsored by DISH Network why would you ever pay more for TV TD Ameritrade and by the new better burgers value deal only at Denny's [Music] Lions have rally back now with the 14 unanswered points after they fell behind 24 to 3 to the Browns in the first quarter now the lines kickoff again short kick as his trips who has the ball and princes across the 30 the block and now a penalty marker flies in the air was that a penalty marker or was that like a cheek pad or something came out of the helmet on contact pops straight up into the air I'm not sure if cribs didn't put that ball in the ground [Applause] nope it's gonna be Cleveland ball Murray McCully the referee 23 yard return cribs there's gonna strip the ball it does come out but they rule he's down rounds ball Browns have the ball as the Lions have cut their 24 to 3 lead down to 7 Gudrun plays my Lewis gets yet another carry his seventh coming up on the Sprint halftime report joined a JB Dan Shannon boomer and coach Cowher for all the latest NFL scores in highlight that's coming up on the sprint halftime report an unlikely score at Ford Field JB did a great job in the pregame today with his interview with Eric Mangini a lot of tough questions he didn't they don't practice any longer than other teams how did you why did you guys back into the 49ers beyond the fields well seem like forever the years we were bad those back to back to in 14 years tonight we're on the field for three hours a day trying to figure out what was going on well you've figured it out because after two years after a two and 14 season you guys want a Super Bowl it's astounding I can't wait to hear the halftime in here coach Cowher and see if he has any explanation end or point of reference on a an offense like Cleveland's that this hat has had so much frustration that has had so much lack of production to suddenly produce you know and we talked about JB's interview a lot of speculation in Cleveland about man Jeannie's future a lot of speculation about bringing a football person in and I know it's against Detroit but this has got to be a performance that from Randy Lerner the owner on down has got to make him feel pretty good at least right now a win is what it's all about but man getting this kind of production is what they've all been waiting for Eric Mangini will coach the Browns next year that's going to happen you can't be changed for a year he was a former nose tackle at Wesleyan he looks like it you get out there again they're getting Cleveland for a delay a game here on first down I'm not sure if they set the play clock all the way back up where we're supposed to be after that snake did they might be the problem line of scrimmage is the 47 yard line of the Browns with still 10 minutes to play in the first half and already 41 points on the board and Geney and his counterpart jim schwartz they both began with the Browns it already it went right immediately back then already started before they even spotted the ball that wasn't malfunction good call by by the officials bringing that back by terry mcauliffe and it is a first down for the Browns here is Quinn it's time fever right on time at the 41-yard line on his out cut Massaquoi a 12-yard gain and a Browns first down well working against Phillip Buchanon again if you can't has given him a nice little pad you push your route up there like that that was a nice route good job by Mohammed Massaquoi I asked Jerry Rice this week what's the one thing he'd like to see young receivers do more of and he said they've got to run better routes more precise routes you learn to do that you're doing [Applause] receive advice and Jerry Rice later said the great here is a handoff and not a whole lot going on mal Louis just bang straight ahead on a first down carry got about a yard down inside the 40 yard line of the Lions Lewis he he is a gamer a durable pounding back a guy at 2,000 plus yards mm 66 yards in the o3 season later came into the Browns from Baltimore Massaquoi top of the screen now for fury on the bottom lady Quinn under center 9:11 throwing the ball for 163 yards and three touchdowns in the first half Louis again Lions up to it stopping it Grady Jackson a 13-year veteran of defensive tackle number 90 and now Quinn in a throwing down third down and six not quite as selective as the third and three in the third and four if you run the play action on a third and six you're not going to get nearly the bike you've gotten before in fact why why not even drop the pretense just go to shotgun and say hey look I'm throwing this one all probability he'll will be throwing this one it's a third down comes the Blitz Corner blitz on the outside Buchanan Quinn got it in the direction to Quinn did a great job just to get the ball away near illegal receiver not grounding here's Buchanan come in here my my Avett goes in the inside that's who puts the pressure and levy comes I'm sorry levy comes in the inside 54 for the Lions beautiful job you're thinking a quick slide and levy doesn't a nice job delaying the Blitz just enough to avoid the protection so the Lions know a late wake-up call in this game after they fell behind 24 to 3 now they're down by 7 ready to get the ball back then she bounces into punt the ball left until out for the season with an injury and then put on I are really good special teams coverage as the ball is going to be down just outside the 5-yard line I just spent four games with the Titans this year I think he's a very good putter and they knows a shtetl is but he can't go so here's one of those positive area offensive possessions for Matthew Stanford in Detroit Lions you do have to be very careful of don't be don't do anything bad with the ball upfront offensively you got to be able to block for the Kevin Smith in the running game you get an obvious passing situations you're asking for serious trouble backs up like this well as the Matthew Stafford told us Randy and Friday his P's no turnovers they had won the one interception stay out of third and long kevin smith has called on the run Browns shut it down Jason trust Nick now a starter acquired to trade with the Jets on October 7th from religiously at northern Ohio you know Stafford Matthew Stafford avoiding the turnover is not a bad idea I mean his first seven starts he's put up some some pretty good interceptions it but it comes in the young quarterback feeling his way around really doing what he needs to do getting the ball down the field you're gonna turn it over there's another nice timing troll for the first down is Jerome Felton are they going to shut him and he's going to be out just short of it about a yard or so short Grubnic makes that stop today has done some nice work as a first play of the game right done where's plays new scrimmage for the line little jump off so far the running backs have been the most effective receivers there's Aaron Brown getting his touchdown and then hitting it down the middle of the field again to the running back Kevin Smith maybe these leaping salutes Randy as some guys going to hurt a knee or something an ankle doer gramatica goes out for the season knocker [Applause] is outside I'm Kevin Smith was shut down but Rogers [Applause] here's a Detroit lion coming back to play for the bounds huge sigh of relief if your Detroit backed up like this you're getting a chance to get another set of downs John Rogers clearly started about a half a beat before the ball was snapped and was right in the middle of the well at that point it's no longer the neutral zone it's it's definitely chosen aside when he gets in it he can blow up an offensive line Shawn Rogers three times a pro ballplayer in his career must be catching him on something well you got her you got to realize - [Applause] now he listened to the voice see if he's drawing him off there's a towel in there and when I say a tell Jean Rogers has picked something up with the maybe the hands of Matthew Stafford the feet of Matthew Stafford and Eric Mangini x'd offensive tackle is getting his talent going the problem is Mattel is wrong labor the long burst in five good defense stringing it out Eric right who had the interception earlier and it makes a good tackle a wide and now the Lions have to huddle up and go for it on second down and almost six when you get in this situation Detroit was in earlier though with the ball sitting back there around the 5-yard line your goal in life for that series is pretty much just getting one first down and Jim Schwartz his offense did that now in second and medium press the ball the play-action is in play Maurice Morris is in the backfield swing it out look ask any open receiver we're going to have a tie game with the extra point Calvin Johnson and seemingly hopelessly out of the game their home field down twenty four to three after that 75 yard scoring play ready to tie it up with an extra point but don't confuse the ability to scramble with the ability to move Stafford moves by himself the time and man Calvin Johnson showed you a little bit of that speed we were talking about earlier his bride knee Poole couldn't stay close to him and once he caught the ball he had no chance to get into it via a wave of happiness seems to have swept over Ford field here at he's Lions fans are up now smiling and cheering and well they should well when you're both one and eight is a lead really safe when you can't score you wonder if there's going to be a lead beauty contests nobody won but they've been scoring like crazy a 48 points up already in the first half see Stanford's great arm he's up balanced they're gonna put the finger up he knew is going the distance the NFL on CBS is sponsored by the Volkswagen sign then drive event German engineering for practically just a signature and by the sony bravia HDTV high-definition it's in Sony's DNA [Music] Matthew Stafford heating up now he has 270 yards and three touchdowns throws in the first half taking advantage of some man coverage picked off into and out of the end zone touch back they take Josh Cribbs out of the return let's watch that touchdown again Randy yeah well here's brodny Poole watch his Calvin Johnson comes inside here and then he nods out and then breaks inside and it's the nod out that really affects Poole pools got plenty of space there's the nod there's the bite and after that it's just see you later bye you're in a race you got no chance of winning short of having wheels staff who was almost falling back off-balance lofting that long ball perfectly thrown beautiful job of avoiding the rush and buying the time to get that ball to Johnson we didn't you look sharp now slow starts and lions but they're now in a tie game and here is Quinn on a roll out swings it up well-executed play it's gonna go for yardage is running with the ball this Chris Jennings well still just under five minutes to go here in the second quarter we're tied at 24 all Cleveland led the first nine minutes twenty four to three in the sixteen minutes since then Detroit's won those 16 minutes 21 to nothing it's how we get to 24 24 and the numbers are just ridiculous quickly is it like Hall of Fame numbers for Quinn and Stafford we both came in with quarterback ratings in the 50s [Applause] the hitch the toss knocked out of bounds they'll spat him out he got about close to four Louis Delmas has been quiet but he is he's going to possibly be a all-pro player at free safety second round draft choice out of Western Michigan coaches talk about him very decisive done for a young player yeah he goes he just goes there's no hesitation in him all right Jim Schwartz a he's a freak show a tree safety desire to be great Jennings runs and now third down comes up Wednesday on Showtime JB Chris Collinsworth phil simms and warren sapp bring you all the best on the Emmy award-winning inside the NFL cables longest running show inside the NFL Wednesday on Showtime look out for the Wildcat here cribs is in Brady Quinn top of the screen a quarterback third and two ribs fallows blockers turns the corner first down he's out of bounds at the 46 yard line Josh Cribbs he can change directions at full speed and so he breaks that for the first down carry on third and short watch Vickers 47 the fullback with a quick little rub on the corner not much of a block but when you just get that little bit of a shoulder on the defender as you're running by you're gonna stop him that was that was Andre Fluellen trying to keep that edge and Vickers just got a little flipper on him that's what gave Cribs the ability to get those extra large yards now one of the standouts for the Lions Julian Peterson back home in Michigan tremendous player from Michigan State tremendous player in the NFL most of his career with the Seattle five times a Pro Bowl player he's missed any time in the weight room guy who can really really come off the edge but when you're the kind of The Lone Ranger coming off the edge teams figure you out pretty quick and they just devote time and protection to you that's something - Jim Schwartz and dr. Cunningham have been able to do is increase a little pressure from all over last time trade passes touchdowns in a quarter at 2:07 a good sake and he screamed [Applause] he's ahead for a first down to the 35 yard line of the Lions defensive end Jason hunter finally got him down a good play execution by the Browns and Quintin with the fake and very nice patience and almost a not lacs today's achill that real calmness to an outbreak Quinton was dropping on that to sell the fake to sell the pass to suck the rush up toward him so that screen would be opened up there behind them I game 24 all after the Browns led early twenty four to three in the first quarter by the Lions as they jokes Chris Jennings the power dive Jordan dies on making the stop that's the kind of personnel grouping on first down that Browns would like to be in that one back to tight ends because I'd love to give you that look so they can run the ball or feign to run the ball and give you a nice little bite on play-action to be able to go down the field of Massaquoi company now we're down to the two-minute warning at Detroit 24 one and eight still my team that's another thing Randy these two teams haven't come besides the one in a records they've got great fan bases you give Cleveland Browns fans or Lions fans something to cheer about and they'll fill the building right now his foot he might have been stepped on by a lineman dropping back to pass block well that's usually one of the guards rarely is the center getting back fast enough to do that usually one of the guards stepping inside and in this case it's Steinbach the left guard getting pushed back into the backfield and stomps down on his quarterbacks left foot with his right foot loss of six you spotted that quickly I doubt though you ever would guilty of that repetitively all right now they gotta get at least to the 30-yard line got the source with the same lease to the 34 Phil Dawson get into that field goal range draw play Browns as they run it along yardage play third and 16 inside the Lions 30-yard line 12 yard gain on the play Eric Mangini said the whole thing about coaching is you have to analyze your team non-stop for ways to improve non-stop analyzing every facet he said yo he learned that from Bill Belichick and Bill Parcells - guys guys to learn from it now there's a timeout boy be free to be worth the price of admission to be in his defensive coordinator Rob Ryan's room here at halftime he go up their court Cunningham the defensive coordinator for Jim Schwartz I'd love to be in those defensive meetings here coming up at half-time coming up on the sprint halftime report to join JB Dan Shannon boomer and coach Cowher for all the latest NFL scores and highlights that's coming up on the Sprint halftime report we are talking right now as these two teams try to build towards playoff contention the phenomenal story of the 49ers when you were with them two consecutive two and fourteen seasons then what we a six in ten and then won the Superbowl it's unbelievable well I think the one thing that both these teams could could use in that regard was you know it's the same thing that Eric Mangini wants to do he wants to get the right kind of people in Cleveland and Jim Schwartz wants the right kind of people in Detroit but everybody in your building everybody in the building from the receptionist to the guy that watches the laundry to the guy that cuts the grass they've got to have a common vision they have to know why they're there and it's all about helping you win when you can't in that sounds very simple but you can't say that about a lot of organizations in this they aren't very focused and when you bring in new administration's who's hold over people that don't buy in and that affects the attitude the Hazen's going to go for here on Corktown I think that you kick maybe a 5-yard penalty would get him a first down Dawson could make this when Lords out patent beautifully thrown ball for a first down as Quinn who triggers it to Chauncey Stuckey on a fourth down Mangini told us during the week Pitt the thing they really have to improve on the Browns if to convert more third downs now that can go to fourth down well Quinn stays in very very nicely knows the pressure is coming but stands in steps into the throw and delivers it perforated in the outside then gets himself a little pickup a wallet for his for his trouble nice gamble I don't agree with it but nice gamble yeah they have a nice one they work right back to the run now Louis ten years into his career now at three point six per carry runner but still a hammer out there and give it to him all day and the game clock now down to 45 seconds to play in the first half and running well you pass up the chance at about a 45 46 yard field goal you get the first down they're not taking a timeout they don't want any time left on the clock when they score why leave any left in this half Detroit or any person they can go all the way up one play in all the clock up the cathedral and they're both proving that you all away well here is a Quinn passing the ball down the field incomplete Massaquoi had it and lost it that brings up third down and nine as the Browns are in the field goal range they have another down try to get the first down time effector though now 19 seconds to play in the half well Massaquoi gets caught in between catching the ball and heading downfield and the little territory in between catching the ball and hitting down the field of what's known as drops once you use that lose the focus on the catching the ball part I don't like your chances of hold on to the ball Brown still have two timeouts they can use the whole field on this [Applause] Chris Jennings at best thrown ball of the day and he drops it the touchdown is denied on the rookie Jennings a blatant drop on a circle route coming out of the backfield and he does a beautiful job Brady Quinn does of dropping it right on Jennings hands he's on that matchup with levy levy thinks he's covered now they stretch and get the first down with 8 seconds left talk about empty the entire bag you fake a field goal Mike Fury makes the catch he was with the Lions the last three seasons direct snap to Dawson Dawson the lefty throws it right out there to Furi Furi gets himself a first down there's 6 seconds left fury 87 once caught 46 touchdown passes in a season as a pro to the New York dragons of the arena and then he was signed by the Rams you mention that madam now you're gonna kick from closer this time they're gonna kick it's 6 seconds left so the Browns looking for their first point since they built the 24 to 3 lead I'm not smart I guess I'm not smart enough I don't understand what you just did timeout by Detroit that was all about eating up time risking a chance of not getting any points let your your kicker throw a ball hey when you're one and 8uu dill but deep into the bag of tricks whatever comes out rabbits trick plays so Eric Mangini in his Browns at an adventure today at Detroit nice concentration by Dawson I'm not sure he ever saw the laces he just sort of crab he grabbed the ball well he just chunks it all out there the fury and let him get the first down but I think they were hoping Randy for a Miss connect on defense and he'd run right down the field nobody pick him nice job by the Detroit D if not well the Detroit special teams I'm not buying on the fake and having somebody out there 29 yard field goal attempt hit up and good with two seconds to play in the first half so this score Athan now with 27 to 24 Cleveland lead on the board who teams that have had trouble scoring the Browns shutout Monday night at home by the Ravens and here they out with 27 first-half points tonight I'm well if these two teams were in an amazing race they'd be going across the gobi desert with nothing but energy bars and little tiny little bottles of water and this is like suddenly coming across a gigantic buffet with a swimming pool coming in 20 cross the gobi desert desert with tongues hanging out like a necktie [Music] Matthew Stafford he's got two seconds when he gets out there we know one thing he can throw it far and accurately from Highland Park section of Dallas Texas learning to publish reports is a guarantee as signee with the Lions is the number one overall pick in the draft 41 million dollars this ball on the ground touch the clock start and that is it and what a first half it was a highlight reel the Browns who led 24 to three now lead 27 24 we'll be back with a sprint halftime report after this message and a word from your local station you're watching the NFL on CBS home of Super Bowl 44 and a luckily story you say here at Detroit where in the first half look at those numbers put up as the Browns lead the Lions 27 to 24 down crickey with a former 49er all-pro Randy cross these two teams have had problems scoring this year and in the first half today the two quarterbacks Quintin Stafford a combined for almost 500 passing yards three touchdowns throws each that's going on it's pretty amazing I mean Brady Quinn and in this offense haven't done very much at all we talked about they had 472 yards passing in the last five games he's got 199 and three touchdowns in this big plays down in the field they've taken advantage of glowing coverages sure these defenses must be atrocious but I think both these offenses are finally producing and they're finally executing Stafford has an interception but he also has three touchdowns and 270 yards passing with more to come that's in a half so it's an amazing story so far offensively from these two teams that win that wins today is going to feel a lot better about a one and eight season if they can get to two and eight somebody's gonna make it happen but you have to wonder about the halftime adjustments defensively too because the defenses have been abhorrent well look at look at the halftime the halftime stats time of possession is a little out of whack total yards are just about even I mean I've got to take my hat my hat off to the Detroit Lions remember it was twenty four to three yeah that could have been an easy time just to do nothing but throw the ball to kind of panic and what they did was they had it field go early they had a couple of bad series and then it was touchdown touchdown touchdown yeah they came back and great style and a reminder this game is brought to you in high definition here on CBS now the Browns will kick off to start the third quarter of play we'll be back in the hands of the rookie sensation today Matthew Stafford for the real weapon for the Detroit Lions and that first half is in the middle of the field mostly for the Lions running backs tension the ball here's the kick the yard sit and they'll bring it up that's back braces on Aaron Brown dives out to the Lions 43 yard line [Applause] 45 yard return Blake Costanzo just barely got the back of his foot tripped him up in otherwise it was one-on-one between he and Dawson I don't like Cleveland's chances that that happens first half today for the Lions so I talked about earlier they had the field goal upon an interception down twenty four to three never lost focus never lost track of their game plan just kept plugging along both teams combined almost six hundred yards offense in the first half 51 points scored Kevin Smith runs the ball Smitha was doubtful some concern during the week because of a bruised shoulder but he's been a standout have a terrific touchdown catch and run really first down has been key for both these offenses they've run the ball very effectively they've set themselves up and very nice second and medium and third and short positions where their play books are open and the pass rush has a hard time diverting much time to the Blitz now in the gray ola delivers the shotgun snap live Paul they're very nearly picked off the hands of Brian Johnson who's had some problems with drops this season he's in with 22 receptions none today look at look at Stafford he's kind of falling back and away and he zips that thing right down onto the right hip of Brian and that ball got right on Bryant before he expected it had a lot of a lot of heat on that thing and I think he thought he expected it to be a little bit of a softer pass and now another throw probably coming up for Matthew Stafford on third down and six opening drive the second half thrown ball first down lions to the 44 yard line of the Browns Dennis Northcutt the X Brown makes the play Abram Elam was the tackler there probably isn't one one tool for a quarterback that's a little bit more overrated than how hard you can throw the ball but it sure does come in handy if you're young guy like staff where the heats coming on you can zip that thing in and and fit it where you need it to be but the one thing he has to work on is his accuracy okay and he's got to make people nervous literally couldn't launch it 50 yards falling back and Kevin Smith almost had a big gap and the Browns filled quickly it was Jason trust net coming up 93 for every every individual back has the road running south and I know people critique Kevin Smith and go gosh you he runs kind of high and upright well he touched the ball about 400 times a year at University of Central Florida seemed like he had to every single catch and every single run there for several years now he's come into the pros I don't see people tattooing that much so it must be kind of hard to hit good sizes 6 1 to 12 at a lot of speed there's another throw off the bat short but this one is overshot or hungry shot depending on your perspective guy was deep and the guy was shortened was in between it was Calvin Johnson and who is the deep receiver on that pass and he and he had to get rid of it he didn't have much of a choice Dennis Norcutt was the short receiver he's getting the Blitz and it's coming he's getting the pressure inside from Sean Rodgers to Adams was coming on the outside [Applause] kind of congratulate Shawn Rogers and try to appease in this best you can you don't want to make a mad route if your Brady not if your Matthew Stafford another troll and off target is that Browns put pressure on Stanford's knock down that time coming harvest Corey Williams guy who was 19 and a half career sacks and he and Matthew Stafford got a whole face full of Corey Williams do you look at the inside of that defense and you're gonna bring in Rodgers and Williams both are very adept and making quick little moves and putting face pressure on a quarterback which takes a lot of that time away you're trying to yes that's the second punt for the Lions bounces in touch back Browns will go from their 20 with their first possession of the second half he's been holding to a three point lead in what's been a score of five rounds having a big big offensive day last 10 they scored 27 in the game was last season against the bills the eighth season now on 1st down Maya Lewis doesn't get much maybe they'll try to run some clock these two teams rather than that just wild shootout we had the first half I I think you keep doing exactly what you've been doing if you're these offenses and hope the other guy stumbles or makes a mistake because you see what Cleveland did as far as starting the game with a field go touchdown touchdown touchdown keep it wide open keep throwing it down the field heck they really haven't stopped it yet well it might be coming any moment second down and seven [Applause] Clark Josh Cribbs that coming back on a reverse in writing at home to make the step was 30 Co Simpson levy with him [Applause] little inside and reverse instead of taking it all the way to the outside you cut it up off the inside with the block on the outside by the tight end trying to buy you the edge set you up and third and five manageable down here when get to manage it if he can route kicks in here's a penalty market a little motion while a difference that makes a third and five to third and ten de sandia the tight enza's motion a bit early rounds it's a position are going to be looking at they're hoping hiding we'll be back next year he's been such a good player out to the rest of this season with the injury that's something that this Browns team actually has been pretty good at avoiding those pre-snap yes let's go something man Jeannie's very proud up the most penalized teams one of the least penalized this season is Quinn look at that throw and look at that move with the ball and it looks like it see the linesman come in he had to get to the 30 and that let's have the spot Chauncey Stuckey has Quinn checks down against a big rush it's the way to stick that thing in if you're Brady Quinn you just didn't deliver that Stuckey does it no no nice job of the shrug off not really breaking a tackle just sort of flexing your lower body down and then quickly up and shrugging off the tackler that was a beautiful job that's nice Thomas comes in Leto puts down the puts to tackle down and out before you get first out so the Browns convert a third and 10 and drive on on their opening possession of the second half Jamal Lewis get low as he is cartwheeled about the bills in the Jaguars James Brown has that changing scoreboard Don and Randy we hadn't heard this name call very often this season that pnto Ryan Fitzpatrick up top to who Terrell Owens 98 yards to paydirt the two-point conversion is no good only the second touchdown of the season for to15 10 Buffalo back to Dodd and Randy Thank You JB and his other touchdown was actually on a reverse his new the new head coach Perry fuel who was the defensive coordinators got a love seeing that seeing those long strikes no an inches Ryan Lyon coach Simpson is lucky a nose a timeout the NFL on CBS is sponsored by Southwest Airlines go to Southwest Calm grab your bag it's on RadioShack the Shaq scores big with all the latest products and by Miller Lite there's light beer and then there's triple hops brewed Miller Lite taste greatness [Music] [Applause] back to Detroit lady Quin under center on second luckin deep I'll throw beautifully connected downfield of a 46 yard line to Greg a stand iya a martini our game Marvin white who was into the game for Coe Simpson who went out they're going to test this area right back in here check out the new safety see if he's in the right spot see if he's up to tackling nice job at tackling but excellent job accuracy wise and rap wise by the Cleveland Browns we're talking earlier Randy pass often starts with pass blocking they've been giving Quinn time he's really been responding bedtimes liens stuff to run the Andre levy makes the stop Brady Quinn today throwing his 14 of nineteen for 227 yards and three touchdowns all of those three throws four scores in the first quarter as a run blitz inside by levees nice call by Gunther Cunningham filling the gaps inside and here comes the Wildcat again Bobcat again with Cribs three win up top well his cribs can throw the ball [Applause] over its defense by Detroit Larry Foote the middle back lead tackler defense doesn't buy it at all big joke you no Thomas to time toe bowler young as his career is for the Cleveland Browns at left tackle there's a high pick that they made good on both these teams missing on so many high picks play clock to Rick James almost had it very nearly that could have gone the other way for six yeah a little delay a game I think from that enthusiasm right there nice play bang James spike City one spiking the ball on the field of play the down count fourth down five-yard penalty no they didn't get burned badly it's a five-yard penalty at the park [Applause] James up until the time he spikes the ball that is going to happen about a hundred percent of the time these days you cannot do that that many players don't know that they just get caught up in the moment and do it anyway there was not a major penalty in a first down so the Lions will get the ball back on a punt Reggie Hodges out for the Browns you've got to pin Detroit back here if you're Cleveland you take it from the 41 the X Brown Northcutt is back coming up - fair catch the ball at the 17 so at the Cleveland still in the lead by three as they were at the half the Lions now go on offense for a second time in the second half with Matthew Stafford ready to throw back to Detroit Lions down by three third quarter first and ten catch by Brian Johnson first down Detroit 17-yard gain Thanksgiving Day is the NFL on CBS renews a holiday tradition as the Oakland Raiders take on the Dallas Cowboys in big deep begins with JV Dan coach Shannon and Boomer on a special edition of the NFL today these two teams can score like crazy so can the Raiders goodness knows the Cowboys have struggled the last two weeks barely scored a touchdown last week and right now Washington's up on him three nothing the tabulation run up to the 45 yard line first down run good for 12 yards Evan Smith is the man who broke it weaving his way through the brown defense very nice job up front the entire offensive line but you got to say you keep hearing this stuff about Kevin Smith beam up [Applause] he isn't he got tagged by Wimbley who knocked him down Kamerion Wimbley 15 yards down the field yeah it was well executed right now I tried to go back to a run and quickly shut down by the Cleveland defense David Bowens lead tackler Young Lions of Detroit they really think they had the nucleus for a better tomorrow here in Detroit well argue with those stats who the job Kevin Smith's doing so far we've got some pretty tough regards on the run but his pass receiving up the middle of the field with Aaron Brown have been really a difference-maker really hope he really gets good grades in this organization Kevin Smith they think he's everything and more when they drafted him in the second round Florida this is his second year he came over takes the 12th man the sideline and bails out but got six yards where you come out in an empty look if you're Detroit you have no running back so pretty obvious to the to the defense it's not a run if it does end up being read it's that it's a scramble by Stafford but nice job of dropping off in zone by the Cleveland Browns brain three and leaving Stanford no alternative but to run it right leaving the 36 third and six it is Lions still down by three score stands as it was at the half 2724 Browns for tie downs from Oklahoma State Brandon Pettigrew my oven oxen down boozing eight-yard gain on the play and ice underneath pattern you give Jim Schwartz in this organization another draft or so if they draft NIT this coming April like they drafted this April they will be an appreciably better team especially if coach Schwartz gets to add some of the defensive sets of the puzzle like he did on the offensive side this year exactly a five position starter today and equipped returners first tier players [Applause] remarkable arm strength falling back again triggers of the Kevin Smith tops Adams knocks it free Mike Adams they call him pops they pop that thing out of there pretty good you can talk about the heat and whatnot watch the when I have spoken earlier sort of the accuracy that ball was back in behind Kevin Smith he put that into the left armpit instead of the right armpit pop Adams can't gives it that ball and it's a conclusion so it is second down and 10 now for the Lions Stafford in the shotgun and he makes a nice controlled underneath throw Bryan Johnson takes the ball is stopped by Eric right but the Stafford Randy is some pretty impressive passing numbers absolutely yards so far three touchdowns 14 of 24 so the percentage isn't sparkly but goodness knows the result is he like Brady could have really been able to press the ball down the field concerted effort to throw the long ball and they've hit him third down close across his body linesman come in looks like the spats going to be good for Detroit Calvin Johnson gets it that was a great spot for Detroit actually when he went down at that Calvin Johnson might have been short Becca a matter of fact I think he was short where the ball was when that knee first hit the ground and then he stretched the ball out good break for the Lions and Calvin Johnson now with four catches today for over a hundred yards 101 and a long touchdown included Stanford baseball and here is Calvin Johnson heading down you're talking about Calvin Johnson eventually in a football game you will marvel and his size and his ability of yards after the catch 30 yards here but watch the yards after he catches the ball this guy's 6 5 to 35 moves with speed moves with power breaks tackles to this Matthew Stafford can throw the ball they better hurry up and get a body off the field timeout now by Detroit they had 12 people on the field so there is a timeout the NFL on CBS is sponsored by MasterCard there are some things money can't buy for everything else there's MasterCard and by Silver Star ultra headlights by Sylvania see farther see wider see better [Music] watch your own Super Bowl site some gentleman from Canada did he got this the Pontiac Silverdome for how much 581 27 acres go with it talk about something that makes you go huh [Applause] now here's a hand up the lines lenola to fake an ax throwing a touchdown beautiful execution will Heller on the receiving end of his third touchdown catch he play with Matthew Stafford archrival Georgia Tech great job by Kevin Smith look at him sell the baby he dives up into the air half the Lion defense is on the ground they bid on Kevin Smith and with the tackle on beautiful job selling that fake by Stafford better job by exit of executing it by Kevin Smith and Stafford to Randy's 6 of 7 on that drive for 67 yards on the touchdown he was two for two on the driving in third down conversions and the Lions lead for the first time today at one point in the first quarter they trailed 24 to 3-2 Cleveland [Applause] 3127 lions and hello wide open and Stafford hits him we're back at Detroit were the lions and a fourth touchdown throw this day by rookie Matthew Stafford have taken the lead for the first time over the Browns 3127 on quickie with Randy cross and now red love to a great he quit in the Browns offense look to do when they start gunnin Cribs [Applause] Howell makes his way all the way out across the Browns 40-yard lines voting for the 2010 Pro Bowl has begun and your favorite player to set up Florida for the Pro Bowl game by voting online with your mobile phone at nfl.com slash Pro Bowl you vote they play great information from Charlie castor this morning on the pregame show talking about guys that play in the Pro Bowl that are on the two Super Bowl teams have to be there for introductions on Sunday afternoons so you miss that Sunday practice before you head out of town [Applause] the Sunday [Applause] the game here's Quin long ball receivers out there to his hens Massaquoi perfectly thrown ball well if you can and makes it makes it duck tip in a played for the ball mother Tipton I have to see it from the endzone angle because from this angle it looked like it went right through his hands he makes a dive and to go after the ball the ball is wide and actually I don't know if he even tested think he mistimed his jump but the hands and what not distracted massive Bob I like that I like the aggressiveness we're only down by four points keep banging at it he is stretching this field first Chris Jennings had a short touchdown Winn has thrown for three scores almost five a couple of near misses and now he'll have to throw on third down it's probable to throw we talked about the lack of great passing yards his offenses have [Applause] [Applause] 14 of 24 227 yards in the game threw for 135 yards and three touchdowns in the first quarter and Brownsville it's they pick it up if Tim went I'm home run ball receivers out there and completed the goal-line Massaquoi seem to have a difficulty Randy adjusting to the ball well he threw it back behind a Massaquoi going from right to left was expecting it out over his left shoulder with his right arm in front seemed have the suddenly turned and adjusted the ball he just lost track of it and the defender right there on his left side so near miss and the Browns have to punt the ball back to the Lions who lead for the first time 3127 don't give him good field position here you've got to have a wall place you're handed Dennis Northcutt is back makes a hop he goes out of bounds a beautiful punt special teams excellent perfect Reggie Hodges Tuesday on CBS NCIS Los Angeles calls in reinforcements pauley perrette from NCIS guess on a new NCIS Los Angeles Tuesday only CBS 50-hour punt and the directional point out of bounds inside the 5-yard line about as good as you can do it there's a holding on the Detroit dream half the difference in this to the to the goal line so now it's back up from the forward to the to see now if you're the Rob Ryan and the Cleveland Browns defense do you want to get a little daring I know you've been burned on occasion down the field I think you have to take a look at the personnel who they have on the field the Lions just just took Calvin Johnson off the field the dear Rob Ryan why not attack here let's see if Stanford attacks he's thrown for 345 already today and for touchdown blitz in Detroit side in fact they they saw it so well Daniel loper starting at right guard jumped offsides and now additionally to the long field ago the Lions in precarious position because any offensive penalty in the end zone is a safety now we see Calvin Johnson come back onto the field that sort of puts the little bubble screen thing back into play little quick pass you gave him a pad [Applause] rounds playing run all the way and they slam the door on Kevin Smith a nice job by Kenyon Coleman come from that back side left defensive end Kevin Smith barely gets back into the field of play that almost happened in the end zone good execution barely getting the ball back past the one-yard line Browns had three sacks on Monday night against the Ravens none today against Stanford but the Browns did come in with 19 sacks on the season which was more than the head all of last season they have only 17 sacks as a team in O eight second down first down Eric right made contact banged Johnson before the ball got there [Applause] automatic first down so that makes the predicament of the lines deep in their own end a bit bitter a first down that's no question it's a follow and have been a very nice job by Brian Johnson look at him turn his shoulders he's presenting Matthew Stafford with that target the 8 and the 0 to throw to and left Eric right no choice he had a run right through him to try to get to that ball first in ten down for the Lions up for [Applause] ya Browns get two points they're gonna get the ball [Music] now somebody I mean you got him by the legs and he throws it away that's intentional ground and it's got to be hands overhead coming together signal it officially they're still talking it over offensive penalty in the end zone is a safety [Applause] there are two fouls on the play holding offense that Tenley's decline that's a safe hey he's drowning offense number nine safety those battles occurred in the end zone both would have resulted in two points very nice bye Rob Ryan and the defense be aggressively go after Matthew Stafford go after this this offense that's really nice stuff I mean you can't complain us jacent Rose Nick who came here within that Jets trade sort of a throw-in special teams guy that now has to start at linebacker trying to be blocked on the outside by Brandon Pettigrew the rookie tight end and president gets right by and Pettigrew has to hold him he still gets the safety trust Nick making him proud at northern Ohio University where he played as a collegiate and now it is going to be the free kick from the twenty usually they choose to punt the ball for the hang time and the coverage but the game has changed now the Browns getting their first points of the second half with 41 seconds to go in the third quarter of Safety's but they'll get good field position in all probability and but being field goal range although they'd feel going one point lead probably won't mean much in this game with a quarter to play well remember who's catching this it's going to be Josh Cribbs that's another thought and he fields at about the 25 or 20 and it'll be about 40 yards between he and trying to tackle on the 26 [Applause] excellent special teams coverage by the Lions lead Tecla was Jordan dies on and Grady Quinn of the Browns offense comes up now down by two points was a beautiful job by dies on in the coverage team gets one of the better returner is in this league you him him in like that I mean by all appearances with the Josh Cribbs you're expecting to get a 15 20 25 yard return on that follow the 31-yard line of the browns now Louis not a breakaway runner you're not going to go 10 or 12 plays in a drive against the Lions you got to throw it down the field April makes the stop not anymore you know there was a time Jamal Lewis would get to the second level and burst through a tackle and he would be gone he's had a wonderful career so far today 16 carries for 61 very Yeomans light duty for Jamal Lewis who carries the law [Applause] and that'll do it for three quarters of play with Lions in the lead 31 29 now a message in a word for your local station you're watching the NFL on CBS [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] we're ready to go now to the safety back to them - and going first in ten there's play the fourth-quarter Jamal Lewis pounds away again his 17th carry of the day 64 yards gained the andre levy rookie linebacker from wisconsin makes the stop they threaten people from all over for this defense's jim schwartz the Lions coach told us randy said we were the ellis island of defense people came from all over looking to fill voids now the Lions defense called on to make a stop on third down [Applause] now [Applause] the 44-yard line a brown stall and they have to punt the ball Massaquoi was the target ball came in low but a tough one to handle low and away you got Massaquoi going full speed to his right ball is thrown them back behind his right hip not great coverage I think it's another case if Stanford wants to address one thing it'd be that accuracy especially have a throat Hodges booms another one this guy looks like Yale Larry when he was hunting in his prime for the Lions a Hall of Famer now flag down a return i North got they introduced a lot of the lion greats at halftime people like Joe she's Nittany L Larry right now as a 53-yard punt in a 14 yard return Charlie Sanders was out their Hall of Fame tight end and lamb Barney one of the greats he had one of the one of the coverage the gunner on the right side for Cleveland ran out of bounds immediately the head of the official and the flag of the official came out yet that's the task enroll our colleague at CBS Sports the tasks are used to run behind the bench to get downfield so they couldn't double-team him outlawed it if Matthew Stafford of the Lions throws another touchdown pass today he'll be the first rookie quarterback in NFL history to throw for five touchdowns in a game number guys number of rookies have tied and he tied them with four touchdown throws in the game that's what he has right now the Kevin Smith's and Yan Coleman the tackler for the Browns we've seen both these young these young quarterbacks throw a lot of touchdowns throw some passes that have kind of got away from him thrown some passes where they stepped up into pressure and delivered the ball right on the money Stafford's gotta keeps gunning this thing Kevin Smith has been a great weapon not only just carry the ball carrying the ball but also on screens and in the middle of this defense and he is an all-around back Kevin Smith belong back behind Stafford play fake to him while on the field and Stafford gets it back Wickham Han Matthew Stafford almost turned it over there's been one turnover today on a throw by Stafford and Eric Wright kicked off and ran back thirty yards set up a touchdown that's Bo and it gets in there and knocks that fall out coming on a blitz and boy staffer to staffer it looked like a snake's tongue just looking that hand out to flicking that hand out there to get it but notice what's handy got it with yeah the lone the right hand it was the left hand he reached out there and grabbed it with his that's a coach you'd love to see that you go well that's smart you're not using the good throwing hand 330 pounds the screen and then no one to go to a good defense by the Browns head it all covered incomplete and so freeing out for the Lions on this possession leading by two with still on most of the fourth quarter two blades we talked about this game coming in the speculation this might be the beauty contest that nobody won because these teams can't score until today 60 points between them with still 12 44 to play be careful this better be a good hang or good directional ping cribs we'll return it it's well hit bits we'll return it Casey Fitzsimmons tight in comes down 48 yard punt and trips held it just three yards on the return the NFL on CBS is sponsored by Sprint official Wireless service sponsor of the NFL the Home Depot Home Depot's lowering prices to make your home and season more festive and buy Acura Acura advance [Music] go lions will live gone from a twenty four three deficit to where it's now at thirty one twenty nine leave the Browns had the ball with 1231 to go [Applause] roll out throwing to catch penalty marker comes in from way back Mandy you saw that one yeah believe it's going to be a block in the back came late in the play too I think he had the first day Lawrence Vickers the full-back now Vickers started the play basically as a right wing back in that fullback position and I mean that is right in front of the official and you give you give a linebacker like DeAndre levia is shot in the back like that your chances of an official not seeing that are pretty remote Lions in the Browns a great history dating back half a century in the 50s between 52 and 57 they played for the NFL championship five four times and Detroit won three the Browns won in the 15th Bobby Lane was the quarterback here Otto Graham was QB in the Browns got an issue with the sticks not being in the right spot first now 8 yards to go [Applause] 1214 to go a long game maybe a lot more scoring aloha than brown's have kind of shut down that scoring machine that shadows in the quarter Dan Jennings 233 let's go to JB in New York for an update Don and Randy Casey giving Pittsburgh all they can handle take a look at castle out of the shotgun here and the four up top key play on this touchdown drive that to Chris Chambers a 47 yard pass play that was a two yarder Castle to Jamal Charles all knotted at 24 late in the fourth Don quickie Randy cross Thank You JB on any given Sunday look at the Kansas City Chiefs rising up today in the long season they've had theirs Quinn and sit-down short on a second downplay they needed along three very foot he was part of the Steeler championship team last season of University of Michigan Wolverine right from Detroit Pershing high tomorrow and CBS kickoff Thanksgiving week with a brand new episode of TV's number one comedy Charlie Sheen and Emmy winner Jon Cryer star on Two and a Half Men all new Thanksgiving Monday only CBS third down and one when you do here Randy give it a banger it's too tight in formation this is that this is a 86 games throw in a catch but um time to play clock ran out Cleveland requested in his charge their first one out that's why they called the timeout that play clock was going to zero as they called that thing I think he might have been tackled shorter than me short [Applause] back to Detroit Browns down by 231 the 29 it's the past formation one tight end one back three wide [Applause] of his own number and punches ahead behind his Center Alex mech the rookie from Cal first down Browns well it was straight up just power what a nice job in the middle by Alex max coming off you don't see his Center get a chance to tee off that often on a defensive lineman the tee off he did I believe it was on Turk McBride inside we teed off and got the needed yard and some more after that about two and a half on the plane [Applause] he's knocked out of bounds on the far side of cross the Browns 40-yard line Marvin white makes the play on defense what's a smart job very smart job by Jennings watch when he tries to get the edge he realizes he won't get the edge he puts his left foot in the ground and just bangs that thing in there it does two things gets him a couple of yards sets up a second and five and it keeps the clock moving doesn't go out of bounds doesn't stop the clock Jennings now nine carries 37 yards sucking down quints wings of all [Applause] through one tackle his Michael Gaines who was with the Lions last season acquired by the Browns to play tight end remember earlier in the game William James got hurt trying to hit Jamal Lewis [Music] [Applause] it's a Big O tied in to try to tee up Michael gains a 270 pounds worth of big he's from Central Florida also and this is the second time that William James has been dinged today if you witness the outset he was hurt on covering the opening kickoff and that time it looked like he got a stinger that particular time he squares Gaines up he hits him that's a face to tackle that's its form tackle interruptus he gets about halfway through it doesn't wrap the hands and everything just sort of stops and William James comes away from the whole thing smiling he loves it now third and short again for the Browns down by two in the fourth quarter the balls at their 45 yard line mass substitution here for the Lions bring in Sammy Hill 79 in inside as a defensive tackle because they've gone to the Wildcat formation cribs ready to take the shotgun snap and he hands off and the linesman come in it looks from an initially like vs4 good spot for the Browns Turk McBride stops handoff was to Jamal Lewis I'll tell you inside with Alex Mack in company Steinbach and had not never I mean they're just doing a nice job on these short yardage situations of finding the middle of the defensive players giving their back somewhere to go just giving them a giving them a soft spot in the defense whether it's a running back or a quarterback see that yard markers right on the yard line right on the 46 was the first down by about a half a ball it is a first down for the Browns as they drive on down by two 850 to go 31:29 Browns led early 24 to 3 in this game in the first quarter well there's some hitting today though Randy absolutely done and pretty basic stuff hasn't it been it has for the last bit quarter or two out of this offense not a lot of stuff down the field why are these donut Jennings nowhere to go good defense by Detroit well you run hunter you run that quick flip out like that you try to get man you try to get an advantage with men on the outside just get one more guy than they can pursue inside you get it a couple of quick blocks you got to Figaro that was a very nice job by the Detroit defense stringing that out and forcing Jennings to cut it back inside second and ten you have to wonder a wilt Brady Quinn unleashed the long ball like he did in the first quarter rhyming pattern well-executed Massaquoi inside a 45-yard line of the brown of the lions white makes the step just short of the 49 yard line for the 44 yard line nice job though by Brady Quinn of recognizing the Blitz mass akua's alert he knows it's a hot read he knows the ball is coming quick he's looking for the ball the balls delivered for 30 short yep third in a foot Lions Jam the front early on this drive-by Quinn for the first down and he claimed he's got it but there's a penalty marker rounds pointing at the lion saying that we're off side but lined up offsides I believe lined up in the neutral zone offside defense number 97 five-yard penalty first down I'll tell you big Floyd Womack's in there at right guard working with Mack and and they did a very nice job just to softening up that side of the defense gives Brady Quinn it doesn't seem like much but you see a little soft spot in the middle there's no there are no legs there's no charge into the lower body Brady Quinn he's able to just move forward it's a good job inside in the situation everyone knows it's coming there's Quinn taking a look beautifully NASA clawed a target now look new Canada former high number one draft choice of the Raiders breaks it up watched Buchanan come underneath Massaquoi or that's truly and I think if his left hand wasn't holding Massaquoi on the back and could have gotten the whole other hand around and caught the ball did I say hold it got caught up on him around Jersey something happen second down now in ten the Browns have converted three once in this Drive [Applause] he might take it in dribs is all the way down to the out of the four sensational play by the Browns a 35-yard gainer and another lion is shaken up as Buchanan again I was a beautiful job of blocking couple of opportunities to make tackles by Detroit but execution was nearly flawless Don it was actually excellent play 35 yard game the NFL on CBS is sponsored by Charles Schwab over paying is over talk to Chuck Charles Schwab and buy Subway restaurants introducing subway melts like chicken cordon bleu subway eat fresh [Applause] now I'm cooking with Randy cross back a Detroit Browns down by two 642 to play in the game that's the stain drive for the since the first quarter excellent play calling back and off [Applause] banan is jamal lewis those Lions hunting the ball it'll be second and goal big Sammy Lee Hill the rookie 330-pound defensive lineman makes the stop yeah say it wasn't real pretty Samuel Hill he just as you might say got a hold of the Jamal Lewis by the waist and just yanked him up in the air even Jamal couldn't run through that one been a pleasant surprise for the lines they thought he might be a practice squad player the first year he's a starter Brady Quinn down in the chef get on second and goal I didn't Oh incomplete to Mike fury third and goal Brady Quinn's not happy with himself now as an aerodrome he was off he puts it on the left hip again zip it into the body we can't throw it behind the receiver there you've got to get it into the the center cut of the body at least it'll get there before the linebacker and receiver like Mike fright during furries give attention Eric Steinbach is an eligible receiver on this play lined up at the left tight end no it also is announced to the house our set triple tight ends [Applause] take back the lead Brian Michael gains Anna receiving in and now Randy the Browns go for two what a beautiful job fighting through the tackle Brady Quinn fades and fades of AIDS and evades many churches trying to make the tackle that talk about gains at 6-foot to 270 he won't be denied that spin back into the end zone inside the pylon but stay tuned we're not done Quinn's fourth the touchdown pass of this day Matthew Stafford is long before scores for the Lions Browns lead by four looking [Music] [Applause] after tomorrow Lewis [Applause] Wow there's the touchdown throw to Michael Gaines and then the direct snap to the big back come on Louis rady Quinn and Eric Anderson good friends despite the guys buying for the starting quarterback position which Quinn has for the second time this season and he's thrown for four touchdowns today and the Browns are back in the lead a wild game with everyone first quart half point ready there is the kickoff hit downfield that is a big air kicking that ball out of bounds big air huge the Lions will start at their 40 the night of the coming next to Mark Sanchez in the Jets take on Tom Brady and the Patriots while the Chargers will meet the Broncos for the Bengals battle the Raiders check local listings the Jets were key quarterback Sanchez is going to have to have a performance kind of like one of these youngsters anywhere near what Stafford's done I mean Stafford 17 229 345 yards four touchdowns and an interception and he's got great field position here gone and it looks like the grounds are gonna blitz they do here they come at him he throws him okay about the Blitz at least gaping holes in the defense in Northcutt finds the play spot and he's ahead for a gain clock running with 532 to play Lions have to get the endzone this might not if they do get in the end zone that might night that might not be the last score today though what they need to do defensively Cleveland they need face pressure any pressure between the guards and Stafford's face not so much on the outside Alvin Johnson our pattern of browns of this he goes so short photo Northcutt think he's going to go over you have to think over the top towards Calvin Johnson before long checks down Eric Mangini shouting out instructions to his defense runners you've got that threat and that's not an implied threat that's a real threat of Calvin Johnson at the bottom of your screen it opens up a lot of things three four ten yards down the field learning along one he puts his head down he is sure yeah the linesman comes in they do have it just short and it get to midfield that's where the yard marker is it's gonna be about a football short [Applause] or 28 left to play mangini and his Browns who led 24 to 3 in the first quarter then fell behind now holding to a 37 to 31 lead whether they're gonna measure but the the yard digit like you said is right at the 50 and this ball is going to be about a half a football short of the 50 yard line no fourth-down arises for Jim Schwartz and his lions remember what you have inside for this Cleveland Browns defense with Sean Rogers and Corey Williams you've got some some serious beef in there if you're Jim Schwartz if you're going to sneak it or you're gonna run anywhere between the tackles you're going to have to deal with Rob Ryan's Pig physical defensive tackles and big physical starts with a huge nose tackle Shawn Rogers he is a defensive line himself I am to the bat field one linesman has it Andy one does not if they come in from the side the near sidelines Minh has it right on the fifty if they mark it with this left foot it's going to be a first down the tension mounts at Ford Field in Detroit [Applause] yeah Tony materi the nearside headlines when he had his foot right on that 50-yard line it's going to be a first if the Vols mark where his foot was I think it's a first down for the Lions it's not going to be by much I mean that the stick is going to come in it will brush the front of the ball that it's going to be a first down lions and needing a touchdown to take back the lead she's going to be about a wallet first down by about her wallet [Applause] to pull Jewish Wharton Cassidy's a very animated guy when you meet with him and talk to him he brings a lot of enthusiasm to it the second effort though see the foot the feet of Matt Stafford never never stop twisting never stopped turning never stopped driving the twin sons of the former Bears coach Buddy Ryan Pettigrew one rookie to another staff through the Brendon pedagogy nice nice snag by Pettigrew wasn't it there he threw that ball down about his knees he never walked - he never much been over you just sort of snatched his hands down grab that thing and went forward got himself another first down and get out of bounds clock his staff with 349 to play [Applause] so it was a motion that Juke Cory Williams off cuz no one moved but Cory Williams and the flag came in after he came across now stir Cheryl Asst right tackle the right tackle just see that little little hesitation I mean it wasn't much but it was just a subtle settling backwards and Corey Williams saw it and came across glory helping officiate the game he pointed that out I said the more you can do the faster you wear out right now with doubleheader games coming up we still have 349 to go at Detroit first down [Applause] it's like a thick it is the second time today Matthew Stafford is intercepted by the Browns this time it's brodny Poole and the Browns take over the law with a six-point lead in 340 to play watch brightening Poole come out of the left side of your screen he is tracking this ball as the receiver catches it at its highest point goes way over the top that's Calvin Johnson and he goes way over Calvin Johnson to get that ball and that is a great defensive football well that's that's been pleased being a receiver you know we always hear about catching the ball in a tie it's point don't you yeah exactly what he did he had an interception earlier this season against Cincinnati that was the Browns only interception up until today intercepting now they'll try to run clock Lyons with two time-outs rounds with two but the last thing they want to do is stop the clock yeah you don't you don't want to get really conservative here if you're Cleveland you obviously need your offensive line to bow up at this time and take this game over but if you're the Cleveland Browns you're looking at a six-point lead three minutes approximately by the time this next snap occurs and full of first downs here you could salt this thing away but you get too conservative you're going to give them the ball back with some time left on the five they got the guy with a D bomb that can he give them the lead back he missed 10 along ball to an interception my Lewis pounding away all day long that's his 22nd carry nice job by Lewis Delmas coming in there and cutting Jamal Lewis down very high percentage tackle by delmas game summary this is what was happening early as Brady Quinn was founding deep receivers I'm it again great touchdown passes in the first quarter and then the Lions tough to come back behind Matthew Stafford right arm yeah Aaron Brown catches that long one goes underneath and then Johnson Calvin last one thereby games twisting and turning to church you to get that touchdown so Stafford sits in waits hoping for another crack at it they're down lions are looking for a staff and to get the ball back [Applause] [Music] fancy stuck he's been making plays all day and he's a head for a first down catch of 13 yards on third down I was a very nice job by Chauncey Stuckey almost perfect you fight you fight don't go out of bounds you know you've got the first down there try to go down and do everything you can not to stop this block Quinn now 21 of 32 throwing for 304 yards and four touchdowns no turnovers Stafford's been intercepted twice they pound it out to the 40-yard line the Lions take their final timeout open for another shot at it remember the clock will stop again here at the two-minute warning so far Brady Quinn has had that that game that the Browns fans have wanted one of their quarterbacks to have remember a couple years ago no seven and Derrick Anderson in this offense did some pretty nice things since then has been a long luck long drought twin 21 and 32 for 304 yards four touchdowns and more importantly he has zero interceptions while Stafford on the other side has two including on the Lions last possession Matthew Stafford rookie from the University of Georgia number one pick in the entire draft second down coming up along six almost seven [Applause] cackling wife makes the step after another Lois Kari you know done remember we talked about at the very beginning of this game the last five games for the Cleveland Browns what they had done 427 yards in five that's not a type of no it's five games 427 yards so far 308 for Brady Quinn and you sit down and talk to this kid and he was in a high profile spotlight at Notre Dame obviously with four years there a couple years under Charlie Weis and came as a late first round draft pick a lot of expectations I don't I didn't think going into yesterday that he ever last that he had ever really gotten the proper shot this is more of what you really get with Brady Quinn in my opinion he's a player [Music] with Randy cross on down crookie back at Ford Field in Detroit rady Quinto touchdown passes today two four different receivers Masek washed up crimson gains empty here comes the Blitz he gets rid of it throw off target and the Lions will get it back 157 left in no timeouts but almost two minutes left that's that's pretty good stuff if you're the Detroit Lions and Matt Stafford and and show that empty look you're begging them to blitz Peterson coming from the outside distracts Quinn just enough that Paul well right well Wyatt I should say and it is the ex Brown Dennis North cutback nearly blocked tremendous thought again hit downfield by Reggie Hodges at the twelve lions if they're to come back and win on their home field are up against it 47 yard punt we've been terrific kick coverage all day on just a two yard return no team has ever gone to and 32 over a 34 games period that's in the history of the league the Lions are currently 2 and 31 over their last 33 games every stats that's a long time ever it's like no facemask leather helmets ever almost better to know how much at all yeah Decatur staleys a couple guys here's a snap rush coming off the back front of the connection [Applause] Alvin Johnson taken down by Abram Elam but it's a first down for the Lions man Corey Williams got right in Matt's staff or his kitchen I mean right in his body hits him right around the waist he's given impression when Stanford still manages to throw a fall away jumper right on the money it's amazing I mean he's completed out his back foot catch to the 29 and the clock running the lions powerless to stop it with a timeout they need a touchdown this defense will keep giving you short games as you promise on throwing the ball inside into the middle of the field there the Browns can cover [Applause] first down to the 46 the Calvin Johnson's 15 he spiked the ball [Applause] 17 yeah in that last play Randy and now he has three downs after he spikes it and stops the clock well you've got 43 seconds and you've got some big physical receivers on the outside as good as the the quick guy like a fury is Northcutt is having Brian Johnson and Calvin Johnson especially no secret Rob Brian and Eric Mangini don't want this ball to get anywhere near calvin johnson if they can help them then they'll allow form defensively these are the top of your screen Calvin Johnson Sanford fires hard Mexican action gets his tight in and he has a first down to the 43 it's gonna be about 20 hit 728 by time they killed this one again 27 it is 27 seconds left Lions need to score a touchdown field goal is useless down by 6 but they've shown they can come back in this game they were down twenty four to three in the first quarter of the Browns hey there's old these teams might clean one 1/8 there is a lot of really good football players out but not one neither one wants to be one and not and they're fighting like you can afford another one more pass inside and given it's not something's going over the top though pretty soon the long ball isn't and complete we assumed he played baseball he said yes will you pitch your noises shortstop in a little bit of the catcher think he goes deep in the hole and get it this first base and it's so effortless the way he releases the ball I mean I've talked to some of the giant personnel people and they weren't looking for a quarterback with Eli Manning they said he has what we've called rare [Applause] worried about that rare arm strength is Rob Ryan and the Browns defense third down coming up question of whether or not they're gonna try to stick this Cole - Calvin Johnson first down throw the clock ticking thirteen time missus killed down to eight you really you really only have one shot deep don't you you got you've got two shots unless all those stories we hear about people's speed isn't true I'm thinking from the 32 yard line you can get into the endzone or right near the endzone twice or that would take some doing but we'll say these guys are fast but remember you've only got to do it maybe take five seconds to run this play he's going to get time because we're gonna rush three you have to get out of bounds if you're not scoring here you've got to get out of here Stafford [Applause] he's in trouble Stafford trying to elude a chef he's gonna learn [Applause] intercepted by the interference call the game cannot end on a defensive penalty and it was in the end zone oh man Stanford's shaken up he's up Bob [Applause] they're calling it on Roy yeah one-yard line F return first half this pass interference is against the Cleveland Browns Matson is charged with the first is against the bronze we've got originally and here's step now he gets hurt on him and the tone man he's driven into the ground card the ball is intercepted but the pass interference is against Cleveland look at this so now it's going to be with no time out of the closet one play for the Lions Dante call peppers at quarterback you win it or lose it yeah he had a commit he's not warmed up as Stafford was hurt on the play [Applause] this is it this is the game Cleveland no the Browns want a defensive timeout to take a look at what the opportunities might be for Dante Culpepper who comes in off the bench never threw a warm-up throw the staffer was hurt in the Eric Mangini in heavy protests you know that game this has been now right here is when Stanford get the drill a container oh boy again it was mostly mostly just pounding him in you got to think maybe that it's that left shoulder collarbone area he's up he's looking better now fortunately what is going to happen now these two teams paddling for respectability really one and eight coming in God my question is back they called the penalty on Cleveland then they said they charged Detroit right below an injury timeout they didn't have any timeouts so this is it one last play for the Lions and for the Browns Wow all right gets it in they win it flavor wins it with the stop one yards a game throw [Applause] they did it if they hit the extra point which is a 90% plus possibility of success for instead of GRU Matt Stafford's left shoulder Detroit has to get off the field and he sticks it right into his young tie-down right Reznik that's got to be killing him it's right on that that collarbone area where he got crunched down the water what a game what a heartbreak for the Browns which tremendous effort Lions find a way back there worth 1.5 first quarter extra point is good and the game is over the Lions beat the Browns 38 to 37 his heart rate for the Cleveland Browns the Bombers I want an explanation I know about the pass interference but then the official McCauley announced that there was an injury for Detroit and they were charging them and timeout but they didn't have any timeouts that would have been a runoff in that case so the fifth touchdown pass of the day by Stafford decides the game on the last play remember that five touchdowns from Matt Stafford according to our sources makes him the first rookie quarterback in the history of the league to have five touchdown passes Rainey Quinn was sensational for the Browns with four touchdown throws and over 300 yards no interceptions another look at the interference undercutting Calvin Johnson first Scott Linehan the offensive coordinator talking to his quarterback Matt Stafford who talked about a gamer though that's the story the Lions wedded the Randy cross this is down Creek even watching the NFL on CBS the home of Super Bowl 44 you
