Browns starting quarterback Charlie Frye was 5-for-7 for 68yards, leading the Browns to a touchdown on their openingpossession. Frye drove the Browns 80 yards in 11 plays, including a 24-yardpass to Braylon Edwards that moved the Browns inside theBroncos' 10-yard line. Jamal Lewis capped the drive with a1-yard touchdown for an early 7-0 lead. Backup quarter Derek Anderson was 7-for-9 for 78 yards beforegiving way to rookie Brady Quinn, who played most of the secondhalf. One of the team's two first-round picks, Quinn finished thenight 7-for-11 for 81 yards and a touchdown. He hit Josh Cribbsfor a 20-yard touchdown in the third quarter to finish off a37-yard drive, which began after the Browns recovered a fumbleby Broncos backup quarterback Patrick Ramsey. Denver starting quarterback Jay Cutler was 9-of-16 for 115 yardsand one touchdown, finishing his night midway through the thirdquarter.
