    CLEVELAND (Ticker) -- Derek Anderson and Braylon Edwards arebecoming quite a tandem.


    Anderson tossed three touchdowns - all to Edwards - as theCleveland Browns defeated the winless Miami Dolphins, 41-31, onSunday.


    Anderson, who finished 18-of-25 for 245 yards, tossed touchdownpasses of 24, 5 and 16 yards to Edwards.

    Edwards finished the day with five catches for 67 yards andthree scores.


    The victory was the third straight at home for the Browns.

    After Miami had pulled to within 27-24 at 2:44 of the thirdquarter, Cleveland answered with a 12-play, 66-yard drive toreclaim the momentum. Anderson's 5-yard scoring toss to Edwardsfinished the drive.


    The duo would later cap a nine-play, 67-yard drive with a16-yard touchdown with 4:34 to play.


    Trailing 27-10 at half, the Dolphins took the second-half kickand drove 75 yards on 14 plays. Miami quarterback Cleo Lemonscored the first of his two rushing TDs, pushing in from fiveyards out.


    After forcing Cleveland to punt on the next possession, Lemonfound rookie Ted Ginn Jr. for 32 yards to move the ball to theCleveland 20. Three plays later, Lemon scored from one yard outto pull Miami within three at 27-24.


    Lemon finished 24-of-43 for 256 yards and two touchdown passes.

    The Browns' decisive drive began with Anderson hooking up withtight end Kellen Winslow for 20 yards to the Miami 46.

    Facing a 3rd-and-5, Anderson hit Joe Jurevicius over the middlefor 10 yards to the Miami 31. Jason Wright carried six of thenext seven plays before Anderson connected with Edwards.

    Miami added a late touchdown after defensive end Jason Taylorrecovered a fumble. Lemon threw a second touchdown pass toDavid Martin - a 4-yarder - with 1:34 to play.


    The Browns piled up 384 yards of total offense against anineffective Miami defense.

    CLEVELAND (Ticker) -- Derek Anderson and Braylon Edwardsare becoming quite a tandem.


    Anderson tossed three touchdowns - all to Edwards - as theCleveland Browns defeated the winless Miami Dolphins, 41-31, onSunday.


    Anderson, who finished 18-of-25 for 245 yards, tossed touchdownpasses of 24, 5 and 16 yards to Edwards.


    The latter two touchdowns came in the fourth quarter, when theBrowns (3-3) pulled away from the Dolphins (0-6).


    "You feel good when your offense can move the ball down thefield and score," Cleveland coach Romeo Crennel said. "We hadto rally in the fourth quarter after Miami came back. Ouroffense helped us rally and picked us up when we gave up ascore."


    Edwards finished the day with five catches for 67 yards and thethree scores.


    "Derek is growing as a quarterback," Edwards said. "He'scontinuing to get better. (Offensive coordinator RobChudzinski) is showing a lot of confidence in his players."

    The victory was the third straight at home for the Browns.

    "(Anderson) did a nice job of managing the game, taking what thedefense gave him and not trying to force things. That's a signof maturity," Crennel said. "To be able to get this winagainst a team that you are supposed to beat, I think that's aplus."


    After Miami had pulled to within 27-24 at 2:44 of the thirdquarter, Cleveland answered with a 12-play, 66-yard drive toreclaim the momentum. Anderson's 5-yard scoring toss to Edwardsfinished the drive.


    The Dolphins have lost nine straight games dating to lastseason.


    "It's very humbling for the simple fact we have highexpectations for ourselves," Miami linebacker Joey Porter said."You work so hard to get them down third-and-long and that issupposed to be the money down where you get them off the field.

    "We haven't really got the third down situation fixed yet."

    Anderson and Edwards later capped a nine-play, 67-yard drivewith a 16-yard touchdown with 4:34 to play.


    "I am really happy with the way guys have responded after thatfirst week (a 34-7 loss to Pittsburgh)," Anderson said. "I'mreally happy with the way guys have rallied around me."

    Trailing, 27-10, at half, the Dolphins took the second-half kickand drove 75 yards on 14 plays. Miami quarterback Cleo Lemonscored the first of his two rushing TDs, pushing in from fiveyards out.


    After forcing Cleveland to punt on the next possession, Lemonfound rookie Ted Ginn Jr. for 32 yards to move the ball to theCleveland 20. Three plays later, Lemon scored from one yard outto pull Miami within three at 27-24.


    Lemon finished 24-of-43 for 256 yards and two touchdown passes.

    The Browns' decisive drive began with Anderson hooking up withtight end Kellen Winslow for 20 yards to the Miami 46.

    Facing a 3rd-and-5, Anderson hit Joe Jurevicius over the middlefor 10 yards to the Miami 31. Jason Wright carried six of thenext seven plays before Anderson connected with Edwards.

    "We are putting up points, but we can get better," Winslow said.

    Miami added a late touchdown after defensive end Jason Taylorrecovered a fumble. Lemon threw a second touchdown pass toDavid Martin - a 4-yarder - with 1:34 to play.


    The Browns piled up 384 yards of total offense against anineffective Miami defense.
