Regular Season:
Pittsburgh (0-0) @ Cleveland (0-0)
An exciting game for the fans. The Steelers took an half time 10-0 lead, but within 5 minuntes in the second half the score was even again. Then Pittsburgh scored 10 point in the next 10 minutes. We came back to 20-17, but just after the 2 minute warning Matt Hatchette sealed the Steelers' win.
The running game was awful as we only made 28 yards (only 13 on 7 carries by Morris Jells). Jeff Lewis saw a decent passing game: 15/26 for 172yd, 1 TD, 1 int.
The offensive line allowed 6 sacks and made 0(!) key run blocks.

Cleveland (0-1) @ Tennessee (1-0)
A big upset for the Titans. We went into hlaf time with a 21-3 lead. With only 3½ minutes left, we lead 28-6. Morris Jells ran for 109yd, 0 TD, Jeff Lewis passed 15/25 for 188yd, 3 TD, 0 int. Antonio Edwards made 2.0 sacks, but MVP was free safety Darnell Campana with 12 tackles, 4 assists and 1 interception (14yd TD.) This score takes us to the second place in the division!

Cleveland (1-1) @ Baltimore (0-2)
A sad loss. We lead the game until the 2 minute warning. Just after that, Priest Holmes ran for his game high 13yd TD (of a 33yd total) to take Baltimore to a 15-0 4th quarter score for the 28-24 win.
Our Morris Jells was excellent again: 126yd, 1 TD (with 4 KRBs by RT Donnie Sanders). Jeff Leiws fell a littel back with his 16/30 for 185yd, 1 TD, 2 int performance.

New England (1-2) @ Cleveland (1-2)
New England scored 17 points in the 4th quarter to seal a 37-10 win.
Morris Jells 56yd look awful, but had only 9 carries. Jeff Lewis passed 22/44 for 193yd, 0 TD, 2 int. Backup Anagnostis passes for the first time in his career and saw the pass ending in a 46yd TD interception return.

Cincinanti (3-1) @ Cleveland (1-3)
A big upset in the 4th Quarter, as Cleveland scored doubled it's season total of points scored in the 4th quarter, 14 to 28.
Morris Jells had a big day again with 89yd on 15 carries including a 24yd and a 18yd TD run. Jeff Lewis passed better then ever with 20/29 for 225yd, 1 TD, 0 int. But weak cornerback's Tony Griggs 79yd int return TD changed the 14-13 lead into a 20-13 lead. Kirk Berggren kicked for 21-13.

Cleveland (2-3) @ Jacksonville (3-2)
Jacksonville was favord to win by 17 points. But Fred Taylor (187yd) and co. made it a 41-10 victory. Four (4!) of Jacksonville's offensive linemen made 5 or 6 KRBs without allowing a single sack.
Our Morris Jells ran for 102yd on 11 carries, including a career high 49yd TD run.
Jeff Lewis had his second set back, with 14/34 for 159yd and 2 int.

Cleveland (2-4) @ St. Louis (3-2)
A great defensive game. Both teams allowed zero touchdowns together until 2½ minutes before the end of the game. At that point, the Browns lead 12-0, thanks to 4 FGs by Kirk Berggren. But, Tony Banks and Ricky Proehl did a fine job in making 2 TDs together.
Morris Jells was outstanding again: 137yd on 20 carries without scoring any points. Center Olin Kreutz had a big deal here with 5 KRBs.
Jeff Lewis day was so-so: 21/41 171yd, 1 int.
The loss was very dissapointing as we were so close to a 3-4 record...

Cleveland (2-5) @ New Orleans (3-3)
27-28 loss, unbelievable!
Morris Jells was hot again, going 100+ yards for his fifth time in six games: 125yd on 19 carries, including a 35yd TD run.
Jeff Lewis was also good today with 23/38 for 264yd, 2 TD and 0 int. But 139yd of those went to Vincent Brisby on only 6 recpetions.

So, the season is halfway.
Our record is 2-6, but none of our wins was a close game, while our losses included two 1-point losses, and also a 4-point loss.
Morris Jells is our absolute star player with 754yd (5th) on 130 carries for 5 TD and a 5.8 (2nd) average.
Vincent Brisby's 43 receptions (4th) were enough for 586yd (3rd) and 2 TD.
Ken Walter made 20 in20 (2nd) of 46 punts.
Darnell Campana is the most tackling defensive back with 56 tackles (5th overall).
Our schedule includes 5 home games, so maybe?
