Pennington was 22-of-33 for 168 yards and a touchdown, while Kevan Barlow had 75 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries to help the team rebound from a tough loss to the Cleveland Browns prior to its bye week. Pennington ran an efficent offense, opting for short, accurate passes on a rain-soaked field. ``We knew we had to have precise execution and, in the meantime, play a great defense,'' because of the muddy field and slippery |

Davis won the Big East in his final season in 2000, then left for the Cleveland Browns while Larry Coker coached the team Davis left behind to the brink of consecutive national championships.

Sure, Cleveland's 3-6 record isn't something to do cartwheels over, but two of those wins have come over the last three weeks. And Crennel's young squad has been competitive in virtually every game this season against a schedule that's proven to be considerably tougher than it initially appeared. On Sunday, the Browns took a significant step towards resp |

The Falcons' latest disheartening setback was a 17-13 loss to the 2-6 Cleveland Browns Sunday at the Georgia Dome, a defeat which bore striking similarities to Atlanta's 30-14 defeat at lowly Detroit the previous week. Just like the Detroit game, quarterback Michael Vick committed three extremely costly turnovers and the Falcons were |

While saying that he takes ``sole responsibility'' for his team's offensive problems, Vick seemed to call out others after a dismal 17-13 loss to the Cleveland Browns, which came on the heels of an equally disappointing setback at Detroit. In those two games, the Falcons quarterback committed six turnovers. The four interceptions were bad enough, but he also had two fumbles that occurred without any contact fro |
