Both resulted in touchdowns and big Jim also swept around end for 10 yards and another score.

Arian Foster Jerseywhile a cameraman -- said to sound like Ryan -- talks to her. Big deal. So what if he has a foot fetish. Could be worse. Do you prefer a coach with a foot fetish at home or a field-goal fetish on Sundays? SPINOFFS I think if videos of Josh Cribbs' feet showed up on Deadspin, we'd see why he shouldn't be trying to play with four dislocated toes. If you can't see that already just by watching his kick returns I mean. . . . Minnesota coach Leslie Frazier won't put 41-year-old Brett Favre on season-ending injured reserve and said Favre could play Sunday despite a shoulder injury. I saw this exact plot the first time, when it was called "Weekend at Bernie's." . . . The Saints ran the ball 10 times against Baltimore on Sunday and still used two running backs. The Browns can't give Peyton Hillis one carry off? Now I see why Jerome Harrison had to go. . . . If they're not going to use Mike Bell, they should've traded for Patriots lineman Dan Connell. Then the two longest runs of the season could belong to a 6-4, 314-pound lineman and a punter. . . . Eric Mangini stopped short of lamenting the loss of "gap integrity" against Cincinnati. In the past two games, the Browns have been outrushed, 380-164, so I'm not sure that's the sole issue unless those gaps of integrity are bigger than anything found in the House and Senate. . . . HE SAID IT "It's the 17th concussion we've had this year. I've been coaching now 35 years and I've seen five concussions in 35 years. Now the new thing is everybody has a concussion. If you walk out and slightly brush the door, you have a concussion. That's the way it is today." -- Louisville coach Rick Pitino, downplaying what medical experts warn is a serious issue among athletes. Actually, there have been 18 concussions at Louisville this year, with Pitino's going undiagnosed until that statement.
J.J. Watt JerseyDespite the conditions, punter Dave Zastudil dropped seven punts inside the 20, including two that died at the 1. The win was the first for coach Eric Mangini after starting his tenure 0-4. • In 2008, Orchard Park, N.Y., again was the site of another memorable Browns win, 29-27. This was Brady Quinn's first official win as a starting quarterback. After blowing leads of 13-0 and 23-13, the Browns escaped on a 56-yard field goal by Phil Dawson. But they couldn't exhale until Buffalo's Rian Lindell missed from 47 into the wind with 38 seconds to go. Alas, Quinn suffered a broken bone in his hand during the game and really would never be the same again. He won only two more games as a starter the following season and was traded, ostensibly for Peyton Hillis, in March. • In 2007, the Browns won, 8-0 -- the only such score in their history -- in snow globe conditions in Cleveland in December. Wind gusts up to 40 mph made for blinding, horizontal snow throughout the contest. Both of Dawson's two field goals were aimed outside the uprights and were blown through -- one from left to right and the other from right to left. Dawson called the conditions "by far, the most difficult" in his career. The Browns also scored a safety when Buffalo's long snapper sailed a ball over the head of punter Brian Moorman, who tapped it through a snowpile and out of the end zone. That win raised hopes of only the Browns' second playoff appearance since they came back from expansion in 1999, but they were dashed in a loss in Cincinnati the following week. Over the last four seasons, the Browns have gone 24-36 and the Bills 22-38. But when they meet on the field, they produce some memorable games. Roster moves: The Browns signed tight end Tyson DeVree to the practice squad and released defensive back Rod Windsor.Originally signed by New England as an undrafted free agent on May 5, 2008, DeVree appeared in two games with the Patriots in 2008. He also spent nine weeks on New England's practice squad in 2008 and also had a brief stint with the Buffalo Bills in 2009.
