The Browns had their opportunities but a missed extra point and dropped touchdown pass in the end zone ruined any chance of a victory. Instead, the Browns dropped their 11th straight road game and moved to 1-6 on the season.

The Colts kept their playoff dreams alive as only two teams entered today with records better than .500.

Cleveland was led by Brandon Weeden who threw for 247 yards and two touchdowns. The loss of Trent Richardson early forced the Browns to go to the air more as his replacement Montario Hardesty only had 28 yards. Richardson finished the day with eight yards of his own.

Weeden hit Greg Little early for a touchdown, but the missed extra point proved to be costly as the team was forced to go for it on fourth down late being down four inside the Colts' zone instead of kicking a field goal to tie it.

The only other Browns score came when Weeden hit Josh Gordon on a 33-yard strike on the first drive of the second half to cut the Colts' lead to one. That was the last time Cleveland lit up the scoreboard.
