The Cleveland Browns will indeed return to Cleveland with a win and a 4-3 record after securing a 27-20 victory on the road; their first of the season.

Browns quarterback Derek Anderson threw for 3 TDs; 2 to Braylon Edwards and 1 to Kellen Winslow. And Phil Dawson contributed 2 field goals.

With the Rams charging in the last minute, Leigh Bodden intercepted Rams QB Marc Bulger with just under 40 seconds left, to seal the win.

The Browns return home next week where they will host the Seattle Seahawks. The game will also bring former quarterback Charlie Frye back to Cleveland.

The Cleveland Browns are in St. Louis, MO to play the winless Rams. This will be the second team, in a row, that the Browns have met this season who haven’t won a game.

The Browns certainly don’t want to be the first team the Rams beat this season. A win in St. Louis would give them second straight win, for the first time since 2003 and also improve the team’s record to 4-3 this season. It will certainly be a test as the Browns have yet to win a road game this season.

CBS is broadcasting the Browns/Rams matchup in certain markets (but not Central Ohio) at 1PM. Check your local listings!

Today, October 27, is a special day for Brady. It’s his birthday!

We know he is in St. Louis preparing for the Browns game tomorrow, but we hope he was able to celebrate his birthday with some style!

During Brady’s recent appearance on Best Damn Sports Show Period, he made a friendly bet with friend Rodney Peete concerning the USC/Notre Dame game.

If USC won, Brady had to wear a USC #10 jersey during an interview. But if Notre Dame won, the Rodney would wear a #33 Notre Dame jersey during a taping of the Best Damn Sports Show Period.

The outcome wasn’t so pretty for Brady and his alma mater, Notre Dame. The Trojans shut the Irish out at home by a final score of 38-0, so Brady donned the USC jersey in the locker room while addressing the media.

Cleveland Browns owner, Randy Lerner, has weighed in on the Browns turnaround at a press conference earlier today. With the team going in to their bye week at 3-3, he is pleased with how the team has progressed thus far.

Of course, the topic of Brady Quinn — and when does he play — came up. Lerner echoed the sentiments of many with his “Not right now. I think it is so much more important to get Brady as much observation experience as possible.”

We’ll see what happens as the season continues!

Here is the video I captured of Brady’s interview on Best Damn Sports Show Period. Topics covered include Ohio sports enjoying success, having to watch games on the Browns sidelines, Notre Dame football struggles, Gillette Game Face sweepstakes, and a friendly wager with the hosts concerning this weekends Notre Dame/USC match-up.

Captures are now in the gallery:

Brady Quinn is scheduled to be a guest on tonight’s episode of Fox Sports Net’s (FSN) Best Damn Sports Show Period.

The show airs weeknights at 11PM local time on FSN. Be sure to check local listings to make sure, or visit the show’s website.

The Cleveland Browns took advantage of playing on their home field and came out with a win over the Miami Dolphins 41-31.

The Browns dominated early on, going into halftime with a comfortable 27-10 lead. Then Cleo Lemon led the Dolphins to 2 back-to-back scores to pull within 3 of the Browns. It was the closest the Dolphins would get as the Browns engineered 2 more TD-scoring drives (to Miami’s 1) to seal the win.

Braylon Edwards’ 3 touchdown receptions were a big positive for the team. Also, in Jamal Lewis’ absense, Jason Wright and Jerome Harrison stepped up and were effective for the Browns. Derek Anderson played a smart and clean game throwing for 3 scores, running for another on his own, and not turning the ball over to the Dolphins.

As a result, Brady Quinn remained on the sidelines.

It is week 6 in the NFL regular season and the Cleveland Browns welcome the winless Miami Dolphins to Cleveland Stadium.

The Browns are hoping they can pull out a win and go into the bye-week at 3-3. However, they will have to do so without starting running back Jamal Lewis, who is out the foot strain he suffered last week in New England.

Should the game get out of hand — in the Browns favor — will Brady Quinn see some playing time? We’ll just have to wait and see!

Kickoff from Cleveland is at 1PM (ET) and will air on CBS in certain markets. Check your local listings.

The buzz amongst fans and media alike this week is centered around how the Miami Dolphins passed on Brady Quinn in order to draft Ohio State product (and Cleveland native) Ted Ginn Jr. After the Browns took Joe Thomas with the 3rd overall pick of the 2007 draft, pundits predicted that the Dolphins would snatch up Quinn to hopefully provide some clarity in their own quarterback situation. Not the case. The ‘phins selected Ginn Jr. and drafted a QB with their 2nd round pick.

Would Brady Quinn harbor ill will towards the Miami Dolphins for passing on him? Would he push even harder to get into the game to seek “revenge”? Not this Brady Quinn. He’s moved on. “For some reason, everyone tags Miami as the team that didn’t take me,” he told the media yesterday. “Well, a lot of teams didn’t take me, including the team that ended up coming back around to get me.” So is there any special meaning to this game where Brady’s concerned? Not at all. “It’s not like you hold grudges or anything.’”

All the talk concerning the draft, not-so-surprisingly led to more questions about when Quinn will get to see the field. Browns fans seemed to have backed off pushing for a Quinn start with Derek Anderson leading the team to 2 wins over division opponents. Most early season predictions had Quinn relieving Anderson just before or after the bye week. That would be right about now. So will Quinn see some action on Sunday? Romeo Crennel gives us all the following insight:

“I’m just trying to win this Miami game. We’re gonna do whatever we can do to win the Miami game. Whoever we think gives us the best chance to win that game, that’s what we’re going to do.

“We’ll see when Quinn’s time comes. Like I told him, he’s one play away. He almost got in the game the other day. That’s what it is.”

So, Quinn watch continues for yet another week!

The Browns dropped a 34-17 decision to the New England Patriots today. The biggest factor in this loss, appeared to be turnovers. Teams need to protect the ball, and not turn it over, if they want to win games. The Browns recorded a total of 4; 3 of which directly led to 21 New England points.

The Browns also contested much of the game without stars Jamal Lewis and Joe Jurevicius. The Patriots improve to 5-0 while the Browns fall to 2-3.

Brady Quinn did not play, even though CBS announcers speculated that he might come in to relieve Derek Anderson after an apparent injury.

The team returns home next week to host the winless Miami Dolphins.

For the 5th week of the regular season, the Browns travel to the northeast to take on one of the NFL’s most dominating teams: the undefeated New England Patriots. The team has a lot of weapons in their arsenal, so the Browns will be tested.

CBS is airing the match-up in certain markets at 1PM (ET).
