Cleveland Browns Finally Have Something to Cheer About – Josh Cribbs & Jerome Harrison
Thursday, December 24th, 2009 | Cleveland Browns, Kansas City Chiefs, NFL, Sports
The Cleveland Browns defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 41-34 on Sunday for their 3rd win of the NFL schedule. Now granted, it was only a win against another 3-win team, but Josh Cribbs and Jerome Harrison showed why they could be forces to be reckoned with in the near future.
Josh Cribbs is clearly the best returner in the game today. Cribbs set an NFL record by returning 2 kickoffs for touchdowns of at least 100 yards each in the same game. His 1st 100-yard return came in the 1st quarter and gave the Browns a 10-3 lead. His 2nd return of 103 yards cut an 11-point deficit to just 4 points right before the end of the 1st half. That had to give the Browns confidence going into halftime.
Running back Jerome Harrison became the 2nd half story with 3 rushing touchdowns. On the day, Harrison rushed the ball 34 times for 286 yards. His final 28-yard touchdown came with just 43 seconds remaining in the game and proved to be the game winner.
It has been a rough season for new Browns Head Coach Eric Mangini and Quarterback Brady Quinn, but at least Browns had a lot to cheer about this past Sunday with the Cribbs and Harrison performances.
