CLEVELAND 24, Cincinnati 17
Hey, we WON a game! A home game, to boot!
RB Calvin Becker was the hero, taking the ball 18 times for 150 yards and a pair of TDs. Kneiling was 19-36 for 167 yards and a TD, but also threw his 6th INT in the last two games. Maybe Becker is worth holding onto after all.
Jacksonville 31, CLEVELAND 28
The line coming in was Jags by 13, so this is a bit of a moral victory. Baker had 2 FGs, and Kneiling threw a career high 3 TD passes. He was also, happily, INT-free. Also played start-to-finish for the first time in his career. A game to build on for him.
St. Louis 27, CLEVELAND 21
No real standout performances in this game. Becker rushed for another TD, Kneiling threw a pick and a TD, and Baker had a couple of long field goals. The problem was our defense spotting the Rams 24 points in the first half. That hurt us more than anything else.
New Orleans 30, CLEVELAND 10
Three more INTs for the opposition. Surprisingly, none of them were thrown by Kneiling. I'm a little disturbed that Van Pelt managed to throw 3 picks in 8 tries, but I guess the damage had been done by the time he got in the game.
Some bad news as we lose DE Antonio Edwards for likely the rest of the season due to a stretched knee ligament. He finishes the year with 15 tackles, 7 assists, and 3.5 sacks.
