• Jake Delhomme makes first first down on 15-yard completion to Benjamin Watson. Delhomme did good job finding Watson after first two reads were covered.
• Next time on third down, Delhomme's pass is batted away by Yeremiah Bell. Another punt.
• Joe Haden gets beat on stutter move by Brian Hartline, but he makes up ground and turns at the right time to intercept Chad Henne. That's Haden's fourth INT in four games and fifth overall. Exactly why did it take so long to start him, anyway?
• Browns squander the turnover. Delhomme throws it away on third down as Cameron Wake destroys John St. Clair.
• Browns' offense: Four possessions, one first down, four punts.
• Henne draws boos by throwing out of bounds on third down.
• Field position changes in Browns' favor on Miami punt from its 14. Browns take over at their 41 after 13-yard return by Josh Cribbs.
• Peyton Hillis' 10-yard run earns Browns their second first down.
• It's obvious that Lawrence Vickers isn't in the game plan today. Why? Browns squander ideal field position on third-and-6 pitchout to Hillis.
• Reggie Hodges' punt is kept out of the end zone by Mike Adams, who tips the ball to Sabby Piscitelli at the Dolphins 1.
• Davone Bess shakes off Sheldon Brown after a catch at the 7 and gains 23 to the 24. Bess is penalized half-the-distance, though, for unsportsmanlike conduct.
• Browns announce tight end Evan Moore is questionable with a hip injury.
• Henne throws his second interception. Abe Elam tipped it and caught it and returned 15 yards to the Dolphins' 28. More boos for Henne.
• Delhomme waited too long to throw to an open Chansi Stuckey in the end zone on second down, but he gets the first down on next play with a completion to Benjamin Watson.
• On third down, Delhomme throws to Mohamed Massaquoi's back shoulder. Ball goes off Massaquoi's fingertips at the 1. Browns kick field goal for 3-0 lead. Their "scoring" drive: seven plays, 14 yards.
• Dolphins get a 31-yard kickoff return, and then cross midfield on 11-yard pass and 15-yard penalty on Matt Roth for hitting Henne in the helmet.
• Dolphins self-destruct on 7-yard sack by Shaun Rogers, a dropped pass, and an offensive pass interference penalty. Then they have to use their final timeout with the play-clock running down.
• Dan Carpenter bails out Miami with a 60-yard field goal with :02 left.
