Regular Season Week 7: Browns vs. Lions Review
Lions 13, Browns 10
Rushing Yards: DET - 119, CLE - 118
Passing Yards: DET - 210, CLE - 56
Total Yards: DET - 329, CLE - 174
Yesterday's game was painful, to say the least. The only highlight of the day was my homeboy Cribbs' 90-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. Other than that, the day was forgetable. It was nice to see the running game finally start to flourish. However, this week, it was the passing game that looked like crap. Dilfer, by far, had his worst game as a Brown, finishing with a QB rating of 22.4. Another thing that was painful was the fact that Jeff Garcia completely tore up the Browns' defense. I was impressed by the way Garcia performed, especially coming off of a broken ankle that he suffered just six weeks ago. Overall, it was a disappointing showing by the Browns yesterday.
Bad news about the Browns secondary. Gary Baxter had surgery today to repair a torn pectoral muscle suffered in yesterday's loss and will miss the remainder of the season. This injury hurts the Browns pass defense. He was the best defensive free agent pickup this offseason. I hate to see him miss the season. This means that some of the younger guys, like Sean Jones and Brodney Pool, will have to step up and pick up some of the slack.
Next game: Sunday, October 30: At Houston Texans
