Joe Haden's 62-yard return after first NFL interception leads to Phil Dawson's franchise-record 235th career field goal.
PITTSBURGH, Pa. -- Observations, opinions and some facts on the first quarter ...
• Colt McCoy completes first pass on first down to Brian Robiskie. Nice to get that out of the way. A quick pass to Robiskie? How'd they come up with that one?
• Real good pass by McCoy and catch by Evan Moore for 19 yards on third-and-10.
• LaMarr Woodley pushes off Peyton Hillis and gets 9-yard sack of McCoy. Not a great effort of blocking by Hillis.
• On second-and-long, McCoy's pass for Benjamin Watson appeared to be deflected at the line. It was intercepted by Ryan Clark at the 18 and returned to the 29. SIW's starting already.
• McCoy's first series: two first downs, two completions, one sack, one incompletion.
• Ben Roethlisberger's pump-fake befuddles Sheldon Brown. He pulls Antwaan Randle-El and then falls himself, for a 26-yard interference penalty.
• Once Big Ben gets inside the red zone, however, he is meat. On third-and-4 from the 14, Browns rush three and drop eight. Ben throws way behind Mewalde Moore. Joe Haden makes his first NFL interception at the 3 and zig zags downfield 62 yards.
• With 1:51 to go, Phil Dawson boots a 39-yard field goal to break Lou Groza's Browns NFL career record. No. 235 for Dawson. Browns up, 3-0. McCoy still standing.
