Another Blow Out As Browns Go Down During Bye Week
Despite 1 touchdown and 185 return yards from Joshua Cribbs, the Browns took one on the chin Sunday as they lost during the bye week 35-7.
In the postgame interview coach Eric Mangini expressed surprise at the Browns inability to hold onto the ball as the they had 5 turnovers to no one. "It's just a tough situation when you're on your bye week and you continue to turn the ball over. We just need to do a better job of taking care of the ball. It's something we're going to be looking at this week" Mangini said.
Derek Anderson and the offense continued to struggle. Anderson was 8 of 32 for 96 yards with no touchdowns and 3 interceptions. "What can I say? I thought we showed improvement but we have to get better and we know it so we'll go from there. It's very frustrating that we're losing like this and we're not even playing against anyone" said Anderson.
Most Browns fans displayed shock and disgust after the game but the loss hardly came as a surpise to the odds makers who had the browns as 13 point underdogs.
