The Browns managed 146 rushing yards and 249 yards in the air. The Browns were able to put together consistent drives for the first time this season, behind QB Derek Anderson . If Anderson plays well against Buffalo, he will take another step in becoming the unquestioned starter and leaving Brady Quinn on the bench permanently. WR Braylon Edwards had eight receptions for 104 yards when the two teams last met. The Browns have no offense (12.2ppg) with no defense to match (29.5ppg).
The Bills (1-3) lost in Miami 10-38 in Week 4 and sit last in the AFC East. QB Trent Edward made 14 of 26 passes for 192 yards with one TD pass and three interceptions, overall he’s thrown for 790 yards with five TD passes and five interceptions. Their top RB Fred Jackson had nine carries for 42 yards, while RB Marshawn Lynch had eight carries for a low four yards. Their top WR Lee Evans made two catches for 60 yards, while WR Terrell Owens made three catches for 60 yards. The Bills generated 46 yards rushing and 192 passing yards. T.O. hasn’t turned out to be the explosive receiver that he was supposed to be, but his best chance to break out may come this week against the Browns' 21st-ranked passing defense. QB Trent Edward has been sacked 10 times in the last two games and his O-line must do better to give him time in the pocket. He’s completed only 56 percent of his passes and thrown for only one touchdown, with four interceptions. Bills DE Aaron Schobel aims for his third straight game with a sack and ranks second in team history with 71 career sacks. The Bills main chain mover is their 14th ranked running game.
