EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Derek Anderson got the better of Kellen Clemens this time around, too.

In doing so, Anderson significantly improved the Browns' playoff chances.

Anderson threw two touchdown passes and Joe Jurevicius recovered two late onside kicks as Cleveland held on to a slippery 24-18 victory against the New York Jets punctuated by a wild final few minutes.
Jamal Lewis had a touchdown catch and added a 31-yard TD run with 1:22 left, and the Browns (8-5) ruined any plans the Jets (3-10) had of pulling off an upset in a matchup of quarterbacks who were childhood rivals in Oregon.

Lewis finished with 118 yards rushing on 21 carries.

Cle-Lewis 7 pass from Anderson (Dawson kick), 1:15.

NYJ-FG Nugent 35, :00.

Third Quarter

Cle-Edwards 4 pass from Anderson (Dawson kick), 12:32.

NYJ-FG Nugent 41, 2:50.

Fourth Quarter

Cle-FG Dawson 49, 12:59.

NYJ-Clemens 1 run (pass failed), 2:59.

NYJ-FG Nugent 38, 1:43.

Cle-Lewis 31 run (Dawson kick), 1:22.

NYJ-FG Nugent 35, :32.
