Browns 24, Lions 3: Seeing is still not believing

It's inexplicable. Will James -- back after the early shoulder stinger - just got beat deep by Chansi Stuckey for a 40-yard bomb down the sideline to make it 17-3 with 4 minutes left.

And on the Lions' next play from scrimmage, Matthew Stafford rifled a pass intended for Bryant Johnson on a post route. Johnson never seemed to look for the ball, but Eric Wright did, making a juggling catch for an interception that he returned to the Lions' 13-yard line. (A facemask penalty on Jeff Backus on the tackle moved it to the 6.)

Brady Quinn then found Josh Cribbs open in the end zone for a 4-yard touchdown. His third of the game. Again, that bears repeating. The Browns hadn't had a TD pass to a receiver since last November. They have three in the first quarter today and trail 24-3.
