New life?

We'd barely returned to our seats and Dexter Jackson makes a pick on the first play of the third quarter.

Browns still lead: Because the Bengals couldn't get a yard on 3rd-and-1 at the two yard line. 27-24 after the field.

FYI: Levi Jones was back on that drive.
FYI: Josh Cribbs (Browns kick returner) has shortness of breath and his return is questionable. I'd probably have shortness of breath too if I had run as much as he has.

FYI: Jonathan Joseph has been taken for x-rays on his wrist. Return is questionable.

FYI: The peanut butter cookies in the press room are quite good, almost addictingly good.

Baptism: Leon Hall just got the pump-faked-the-heck-out out that 34-yard-touchdown pass. Ouch baby, that one was hard to watch from start to finish from the press-box vantage. I mean I seriously felt embarrassed for Hall as Edwards went right by him for a touchdown catch. 34-24 Browns. 8:17 left in the third.

A little bit of life and a little bit of beer: CJ got doused with Dawg Pound ale and the Bengals trail by just three to the vaunted Browns. At least the stunt lived up to more hype so far than the Bengals have collectively today. 34-31 Browns.

FREAKING OFF TACKLE: Untouched 66 yards for a touchdown. Seriously? Jamal Lewis apparently has some wheels when he gets that kind of running room. 41-31 Browns. I wonder which place is louder. All the Bengals fans on Fountain Square or the 71K-plus here in Cleveland stadium.
