Browns Shutout the Dolphins, 22/0
The first touchdown of the game was amazing to watch from the stands. If the Browns could only have this sort of fancy footwork and teamwork in every game, at least once during the game, I would guarantee more crazy half-naked fans freezing in cold weather, more positive support from Cleveland sportsfans, and possibly less talk about the arm ability of Cleveland sportsfans to throw bottles. Reuben Droughns, #33 DB, dodged all incoming traffic and sweved around every obstacle.
Maybe Phil Dawson, #4 K, should have borrowed one of Droughns legs before he attempted and missed the extra point. Followed by a no wind, no rain, no snow 30 yd punt in the 4th quarter. He must have had breakfast that morning with Kyle Richardson as Richardson was nearly out of bounds and his punting skills were not impressive this week.
In the second quarter, full back Terrelle Smith, #42, scored the second touchdown of the game. Dawson tried again with success and picked up the extra point for the Browns.
Another awesome play included Charlie Frye as he runs, stumbles, regains control and just before he was sacked, manages to throw the ball to Braylon Edwards, #17 WR, to make the Browns' first down in the 4th quarter. Granted, I would have loved to have seen more of Northcutt, #86 WR, on the field besides his 30 yd punt return, but Edwards started and made a significant impact in the game.
Distraught could be seen on Nick Saban's face, Head Coach of the Dolphins. Was he counting the number of incomplete passes thrown by Gus Frerotte, #11 QB? Or was he rehashing the fumbles of Marty Booker, #86 WR, and Randy McMichael, #81 TE, in his mind?
Or maybe he was wondering why in the world Reuben Droughns, #34 RB, remained in the game during the 4th quarter when the scoreboard read 0 Dolphins, 22 Browns? Looking for a stellar play or not, he should have been pulled to avoid injury.
So although the Browns and the Dolphins entered the stadium with the same record and majority vote choosing the Dolphins to win, Cleveland barked its way to a shutout, 22/0.
