Well I have to admit, I was very pleasantly surprised that the Browns actually got into the endzone—but with the break they caught on that tipped pass, they really had no excuse. However, Blane Gabbert and Maurice Jones-Drew have done well against the Browns D, and that's why the score is tied at 7 after two quarters of football.
Offensively, Colt McCoy has done some nice work, going 8/13 for 117 yards. 51 of those came on that nice pass to Jordan Norwood, who broke a tackle and sprinted down the field to set up Chris Ogbonnaya's touchdown run. Greg Little also caught a pass for 22 yards. Other than that...well...yawn. Ogbonnaya can't run the ball (again), as he only has 17 yards on nine carries. Booo! Also, no completions to Evan Moore yet.
On the defensive side, Blane Gabbert has presented more problems than probably anticipated as evidenced by his 11/17 for 97 yards first half. He did a great job of putting together their 18 play, 92 yard touchdown drive. Those are the kinds of things that can totally deflate a defense. Other than that, I guess the D has been alright—they've only given up 54 yards on 13 carries to Jones-Drew, a 4.2 average.
Honestly, there isn't much to say about this game. The Browns are still in it because of that ridiculous call on the pass interference review—the ball was definitely tipped. So maybe we'll get a couple good breaks towards the end of the game too. We probably deserve the karma after MJD did the LeBron chalk toss after he scored his touchdown. Booo!
Man this was a short halftime blurb...But I'll see you later for the Final Word.
