##### Browns rely on run game

The Browns opened the game with rushes on five of their first six plays and that trend continued throughout the game.

Quarterback Derek Anderson completed seven of 11 passes for 86 yards. It marked the fewest attempts by a Jaguars opponent in franchise history and tied for the fewest completions (11/17/96 at Pittsburgh; 12/3/00 vs. Cleveland). The 86 passing yards were the fewest since the 2007 season-opener at Tennessee when the Titans managed only 68 net passing yards.

"We knew going in they were going to run the ball," safety Gerald Alexander said. "They've been running the ball on teams the last four weeks and that's why they have been getting those wins. They run the ball really well. They do a lot of misdirection, stretching outside, and they have athletic linemen who can get to the next level. They do a great job in their scheme and I think they finally found out what they can do well. It equaled out to wins in the end."

In fact, Anderson misfired on a pass with two minutes left in the first half and didn't attempt another pass until the 9:51 mark of the fourth quarter. During that stretch, the Browns ran the ball 18 straight times.

"It's tough, the worst way to lose as a defense," Alexander said. "It's will against will. The passing game is more schematic, holes up in zones or you can beat one-on-one in man. A rushing attack is man on man, getting off blocks and making tackles. It's tough to lose that way."
