Hillis ices another win with a 35-yard TD run to total 181 yards.
View full sizeBrowns quarterback Colt McCoy celebrates a touchdown by teamate Chansi Stuckey in the second quarter.• Colt McCoy's pump fake freezes linebacker Jerod May and McCoy drops it into Peyton Hillis for 29 yards on third down. The kid is not backing down, folks.
• Peyton Hillis in this situation is unstoppable. But he needs a breather now and then and Mike Bell is stopped for a 3-yard loss. And he stays down hurt.
• Browns kick 37-yard field goal for 27-7 lead. I was looking for a fake FG there because the three points weren't important. Key thing was the 7:48 time of possession.
• How flummoxed are the Patriots? Tom Brady is forced to slide down when nobody is there to take his handoff. Three plays later, Deion Branch false starts. Thought they didn't beat themselves?
• Third-and-15 from Browns' 38, 8:29 left: Brady to Aaron Hernandez for 13 yards.
• Fourth-and-2 from the 25, game on the line: Brady to Wes Welker to the 14.
• There's another dropped pass, this time courtesy of Hernandez. And another by Rob Gronkowksi.
• On fourth down, Ray Ventrone is called for interference in the end zone on a high pass for Gronkowski. He was looking at the ball. Ventrone and Blake Costanzo have played a lot on defense.
• Hernandez catches a 1-yard TD pass. Welker has to kick the extra point. It's good, cutting lead to 27-14. But it took Brady 14 plays and 4:08 to score. They wanted about half that time.
• Can Pats try an onside kick with Welker subbing for injured kicker Stephen Gostkowski? They need it with 6:37 left. Browns have their onside recovery team on field, but he bloops one to Josh Cribbs. Browns start at their 40-yard line.
• Hillis busts through tackle attempt of Rob Ninkovich and scampers 15 yards for first down at the 50. That, folks, should do it with less than five minutes left.
• Hillis completes the huge win with a 35-yard TD run. After the PAT, offensive coordinator Brian Daboll is chest-thumping everybody. Joe Thomas pancakes Daboll to the ground.
