INT-ERESTING NOTE: The Browns rank tied for second in the NFL with 19 interceptions.

DB Eric Wright, DB Brandon McDonald, DB Brodney Pool and LB D’Qwell Jackson lead the squad with three interceptions each. The last time the Browns had four or more players record three or more interceptions in one season came in 2001 when five players totaled three or more. 

FROM THE LOCKER ROOMKellen Winslow(On returning from injury)- “I can come back, but I want to be healthy enough to help my team win. I don’t want to just be out there to be out there. I want to help me team win.” 

(On wanting to play)- “My teammates are out there and it’s hard to watch. I want to be out there with them, but also I want to be healthy enough to come back. Also, to get out there with Dorsey and the guys in the huddle.” 

(On the season)- “It’s been a tough year all around. The stuff that has happened to me this year, it just hasn’t gone my way. I am going to continue to fight and try to be a consistent player.”  

Ken Dorsey(On Philadelphia)- “They are a great defense. Not only are they great schematically but great personnel wise. They have been giving offenses fits for many years now. That’s part of the fun and excitement of playing Philadelphia.”  

(On playing in Philadelphia on Monday night)- “It’s going to be a challenge that’s for sure, anytime you play on the road. They have got a great crowd behind them every year. It’s going to pose some challenges for us.” 

(On getting hit a lot last week)- “I think getting hit is part of this game. It’s bound to happen. No matter who it is a wide receiver, running back, quarterback, offense or defense if you have got the ball in your hand they are going to try to hit you. Naturally you want to limit that but at the same time it’s just part of the game.”  

Brandon McDonald(On the Eagles)- “(Donovan) McNabb is a great quarterback. They’ve got a great receiver in (DeSean) Jackson, a fast guy who can do different things. They have a good defense, a lockdown corner in (Asante) Samuel. It’s going to be a tough win just like it is every week. They are hungry. They are fighting for a playoff spot. They are definitely going to come out with their ‘A’ game.” 

(On Brain Westbrook)- “He is a versatile guy. He does so much for their offense. He can get out, run routes and catch passes. One-on-one with a linebacker is sort of a mismatch for most teams. He is just a play maker.”

The field goal was the fourth longest in Browns history and the fifth of the contest for Dawson. Playing in his 150th career game, Dawson connected on his 200th career field goal with his first field goal of the game in the first quarter. Dawson became the first player in Browns history to convert a 50+ yard field goal in three consecutive games. Dawson connected on a then-career high 54-yard field goal against the Ravens on Nov. 2 and a 52-yard field goal against the Broncos on Nov. 6.  

DEFENSE GETTING TURNOVERS: With a +8 turnover ratio, the Browns rank third in the NFL. The Browns recorded three first quarter interceptions against Buffalo on Nov. 17 as LBs Kamerion Wimbley and Andra Davis and DB Brandon McDonald each registered interceptions. The three first quarter interceptions marked the first time the Browns intercepted three passes in one quarter since Nov. 19, 2006, when the Browns intercepted Pittsburgh QB Ben Roethlisberger three times in the third quarter. The Browns have totaled three interceptions in three contests this year. Cleveland has totaled 13 interceptions on the season with DB Eric Wright leading the squad with three. Cleveland has also recovered five fumbles.  

QUINN ENGINEERS FIRST CAREER WIN: QB Brady Quinn picked up his first career win as a starting quarterback with the Browns 29-27 victory over Buffalo on Nov. 17. Quinn led the Browns on a 7-play 28 yard drive which resulted in K Phil Dawson’s 56-yard game winning field goal with 1:39 remaining. Quinn finished 14-of-36 for 185 yards.  

Quinn also engineered the Browns longest drive of the season when he drove the team 96 yards on 12 plays in the second quarter. On the drive, Quinn went 4-of-5 for 62 yards. WR/KR Joshua Cribbs capped off the drive with a two-yard TD plunge. 

HARRISON HELPS BIG NIGHT ON THE GROUND: The Browns rushed for a season-high 161 yards as RB Jerome Harrison rushed for a career-high 80 yards on 3 carries, including his first career rushing TD on a 72-yard scamper on the first play of the fourth quarter. RB Jamal Lewis added 18 carries for 65 yards and Joshua Cribbs added his first career rushing TD on a 2 yard score. Harrison’s 72-yard sprint was the longest touchdown run by a Brown since RB Reuben Droughns went 75-yards for a score against Miami on Nov. 20, 2005.  

FROM THE LOCKER ROOMBraylon Edwards(On his rhythm with Brady Quinn)- “He is coming into his own, learning the system and getting more comfortable back there. Having (Kellen Winslow), Jamal (Lewis) and myself in there, he is just relaxing and letting the game come to him.” 

(On winning at home)- “We have got to start making plays at home. We have the opportunities, we have been in the situation where we could have gotten victories at home, but we are not finishing or at least we didn’t finish those games. We have got to come out and play four quarters worth of football. Football is not always pretty as you saw on Monday night but if you finish and stay the course you win ball games.”  

Jamal Lewis(On not having a 100-yard game this season)- “Opportunities have to present themselves in order to get that. At the same time you have to be able to get those carries in order to get those numbers. I was always taught if you get 25 carries a game and get 4 yards a carry, there’s 100 yards. I’m not complaining about it. I am not looking for it. If it comes it comes, but at the same time I just hope we can execute well.”  

(On Jerome Harrison)- “I think we compliment each other very well. With me being a power back and I can also have breakaway speed to get away and make the home run. With him, you can’t approach him the same way you approach me as far as tackling, the scheme and what you try to do to stop his progress. Its two different styles, he is more of a scat back. He is smaller and a quick back and it’s different.”  

Brady Quinn(On where he can improve)- “I think overall just passing efficiency. I think that’s something that hurt us in the game. Also communication on different things. If you look back at the green zone for us, (we) didn’t really convert as much as we’d like to. Obviously we were getting field goals but we want touchdowns. Third down efficiency, just need to pick up a few things here and there.” 

(On what the win vs. Buffalo meant)- “My confidence has always been there. I think the biggest thing is it told our team that we came back and kept fighting. We came through with a victory and it is something we needed to get done.” 

(On his injury)- “Basically I am sure you guys have heard what Romeo said, I banged up my finger Monday night. I think it was the first quarter. I hit it again later in the second quarter. At this point it is a little sore. I practiced yesterday, (I am) practicing today. We are just doing the best we can to take a little precaution and make sure it’s alright and that’s pretty much it.” 

Hank Fraley(On Brady Quinn’s injury)- “I really did not know. He looked fine. If you didn’t say a word to me or anybody in this locker room, I don’t think any of us would even known. You have really got to ask him how he is feeling. He seemed fine and threw the ball fine.” 

(On the struggles at home)- “It is really about execution. We always want to win at home. We just haven’t got it done at home this year and it’s a shame because it’s always fun winning at home. Your fans are always into it and stuff like that. We just haven’t executed well. We are working to change that. We are excited to be back home in front of our fans.”  

Phil Dawson(On his kick on Monday night)- “That was a special one. Any time you make a kick to win that’s a big one and when you consider it was kind of a long one, Monday Night Football and a critical point in the season where this team desperately needed a victory. You mix all that together it’s a pretty special one. It’s very short lived, I am already feeling the heat trying to get ready for another one. I know if I go out there and duck hook one, I am right back to ground zero. It was very special. I think we enjoyed it, but I am already back to work.”  

(On the weather)- “It is always a challenge. I have said it before, I am humbled every Sunday I come down to Cleveland Browns Stadium because you can’t take anything for granted. You have got to come ready to play each and every week. I am watching that weather channel and trying to get that forecast down and obviously be out there first thing Sunday morning, trying to get a feel for how the day is going to go.”
