Exclamation

Week 11
Cleveland (8-1) vs Jacksonville (5-4)
The first quarter saw two Jacksonwille TD's (one an 87 yard bomb, the other a 50 yard scoring drive that started from a Sheen Fumble) Sheen redeemed himself on the last drive ofthe Quarter with a 41 yard scoring run. But Mario O'Donnell, the hottest young QB in the league, drove the Jag's 80 yards back down the field to re-gain their 14 point lead. On the next drive Davies went down with Sprained Back and that was all she wrote. The Browns fought on, but could never climb out of the whole without their leader.
Browns 14 Jaguars 24
Sieh 18/27/0/0
Sheen 19/96/1
Duke 9 tackles 3 assists

Davies is hurt bad and done for the year as the 6th highest rated passer and with the 4th most passing TD's. Sheen will have to take it up a notch.

Week 12
Cleveland (8-2) vs Tennessee (6-4)
Welcome to the Donnie Sheen show! In the first game with out Star QB Blaine Davies, the running back who stormed onto the seen last year as the star of the FOF Bowl, showed that the Browns can win in the air or on the ground. Sheen, with the help of a punishing D that created 4 turnovers and 7 points of their own, stop the Titans cold!
Browns 37 Titans 11
Sieh 11/20/117/0/2Int's
Sheen 21 Carries 183 yards 2 TD's
Duke 4 Tackles 1 Sack and 1 Fumble recovery for a 57 yard TD

Week 13
Cleveland (9-2) vs Washington (7-3-1)
The Redskins start off keying on Sheen and holding him in check, after scoring a field goal, they focus on Sheen again, only to get burned deep for a score by a Sieh to Wallace connection. The D holds, and the Browns mix it up well on a long scoring drive. After a bad Washington punt in the second quarter Sheen is the focus of another scoring drive, and brings it in from the 18 to put the Browns up 21-3. As the Browns celebrate on the sideline, a Washington player turns their first offensive play into a 79 yard scoring run But the Browns only take 9 plays to drive 82 yards on the next possision to get back their large lead and take it into half time. The Redskins start the half with the ball but throw an interception that turns into 3 more points for the Browns. The Redskins let another turnover, this one a blocked punt, add to the Browns scoreboard. Washington starts to get desperate and goes for the long pass... Connecting on 2, they start to close the scoring gap. 38-17 As the third qtr. winds down, Washington gets a special teams break, blocking a punt and getting 7. 38-24... Both Defenses stiffen up in the 4th Qtr, and washington watches the time slip by. Still trying to air it out the Skins put up another long one, this time it comes down in the hands of Cleveland's Leomont Evans. The Browns can't capitilize on this one though, but enough time has elaapsed that it becomes academic. Both teams wind up scoring agian but there is nothing that Washington can do to make up for the first half deficit. The Browns held the ball for over 40 minutes in this game!
Browns 45 Redskins 31
Sieh 16/25/262/2/0
Sheen 34/156/2 -- PotG and Offensive Player of the Week honors
Wallace 4 cathces 112 yards 1 TD
Owens 4 catches for 86 yards
Champion 3 sacks and a blocked punt recovery in the Endzone

Week 14
Cleveland (10-2) vs New York G(5-6-1)
The giants shut down Sheen, and Sieh can't make the difference. The giants also manage one TD in the first qtr which is enough to win this low scoring affair.
Browns 9 Giants 13
Sieh 16/26/235/0/0
Sheen 24 carries for 37 yards averaging 1.5 per carry (which is actually half a yard per carry then the Giants could mannage but still not enough for our work-horse)
Farmer 9 tackles

Week 15
Cleveland (10-3) at Tennessee (7-6)
As with this matchup 3 weeks ago, this was the Donnie Sheen show. Sheen helped build the 3 point half time lead, then sealed the game with 2 4th quarter scoring runs.
Browns 45 Titans 19
Sieh 10/27/111/2/1
Sheen 29/132/3
Duke 10 Tackles
Taylor and Champion each collected 2 sacks

Week 16
Cleveland (11-3) at New York J (7-7)
The Browns have a lock on the playoffs, but are fighting for the Division title, and home field advantage. The Jets are fighting for a wild card spot, but are a long shot to make it... Things start out according to plan, as the Browns D shuts down the Giants and Sheen runnig sets up play action pass to Ownes for a Touchdown. Both teams stall a bit with the first Qtr score ending Browns 7, Jets 3. After another Jet's field goal the gets the game close, the browns shy from teh game plan and go to Sieh's arm to try to bring some excitment to the game. And excitements is what they get, but for the Jets as they pick off a Sieh pass in Cleveland Territory. The jets eventualy convert it for 7 and go into half time, up 12-7. Coach Force looses his cool and after 2 NY drives that eat up time and add 3 points to the Jets score each, abandons the running game (which the jets had been holding moslty in check) to go to the air. Sieh fails to get any drives going, and the Browns watch in horror as the Jets manage to put 7 more on the board midway through the fourth. The score is now 25-7 and looks insurmountable. But Sieh finaly gains some composure and puts together a nice scoring drive including his successful 2-point conversion pass. The Jets recover the onside kick however, and manage to add a fieldgoal. On the next drive, Sieh gets a 44 yard and a 14 yard shot to Woodson, and a 14 yard scoring pass to Wallace with a minute twelve remaining. The score is 28-22 Jets. Again, though, the Jets come up with the onside kick recovery and the Browns comeback falls short.
Browns 22 Jets 28
Sieh 12/25/213/3/1
Sheen 13/51 ; After falling behind, Sheen didn't see much action
Roose and Duke each had 11 Tackles

Week 17
Cleveland(11-4) vs Cincinati (5-10)
Again Sheen is held in check as the Bengals score early and force Force to abandon the running game. With the game still close at the middle of the third, the Browns fumble a punt return on their own 16. The Bengals scored their third TD and took a 21-10 lead. Sheen was held to only 4 yards on 6 third down carries as the Bengals continued to focus and him and Dare Sieh to beat them. He wasn't up the challange.
Browns 13 Bengals 21


With our 3-3 stretch without Davies at all, we finish 11-5 and Loose the division title on Tie Breakers. Also three defenseive starters (Quinn Farmer and Evans) are now listed as doubtfull for the playoffs.

Post Season to come...
