Cleveland 1 Game Out In AFC North

The Associated Press

Published: November 5, 2007

CLEVELAND - Derek Anderson, Jamal Lewis and the Cleveland Browns passed their toughest test to date.
Phil Dawson kicked a 25-yard field goal in overtime to give the Browns a 33-30 comeback win against Seattle on Sunday and their first three-game winning streak since 2001.

Lewis rushed for a career-high four TDs, the last one with 2:17 left in regulation, for the Browns (5-3), who trailed 21-6 in the first half and were down 27-22 in the fourth.

Anderson, though, brought them back, and Cleveland's poor defense, which came in as the NFL's worst-ranked unit, made a stop on a fourth-down play in OT to lift the Browns, who are a game behind Pittsburgh (5-2) in the AFC North.

Dawson, who hooked an extra point in the first half, atoned for his miss by kicking the game-winner - on second down 5:43 into OT - to send a crowd of more than 70,000 into a frenzy. The Browns went just 4-12 last season and were given little chance of being competitive this season.

But here they are at the halfway point of the regular season: near the top of the AFC North and in the playoff mix.
