Week Nine

New England 23, CLEVELAND 17 (OT)

Dixon Schrempf had a marvelous game, rushing 16 times for 159 yards and a TD, as well as catching a 1 yard TD pass to send the game into overtime. In the end, the 73 yard INT return (TD) in the 2nd quarter by Anthony Singleton proved disastrous, as that score allowed the Patriots to gain the winning score in OT. Yes, we're now 3-6, but 3 of those losses have been by a combined 11 points, and the two against the Titans were 10 points each. The only game we've lost that we weren't capable of winning was the beating absorbed at the hands (or should I say, claws) of the Bengals.

Week Ten

Pittsburgh 37, CLEVELAND 6

229 yards rushing for the Steelers. Note that both of our spankings have come as a result of an inability to stop the run. Kneiling is beginning to struggle some, but when you play 14 straight games without a bye, that'll happen. Our bye, unfortunately, isn't until week 14.

Week Eleven

Green Bay 36, CLEVELAND 30 (OT)

Not quite a 23 point 4th quarter comeback, but coming back from a 30-17 deficit in the final 7:10 to force OT is still impressive. Both teams put on a rushing show, combining for 336 yards on the ground, but in the end, despite 2 INTs and a recovered fumble for our defense, it came down to Favre and his 262 yards passing, picking up the slack whenever the rushing game stumbled. Kneiling was 14-18 in the air, but just didn't pass the ball enough to establish any kind of a two-pronged attack.

Week Twelve

CLEVELAND 20, Baltimore 18

Dixon Schrempf rushed for 2 TDs, and Baker kicked a pair of FGs, including the game winner with 6 seconds remaining, as we finally win after losing two of our last three games in OT. I firmly believe that with a few more breaks, we could as easily be 8-4 as 4-8. .500 is still in sight, albeit barely, as we play a pair of 8 win teams in our next four games.
