PHILLIP RIVERS SEEN CRYING SOFTLY ON SIDELINES.
28 Oct 2012
Cleveland, OH
Coming into their Week 8, the Cleveland Browns had yet to play a complete game. Against San Diego, Cleveland finally shook off the ghosts of inconsistency which seem to have haunted the young team. The offense, led by a strong rushing performance from Trent Richardson, marched 89 yards down field on their opening drive. Despite being unable to get into the end zone, Cleveland took the lead with a Phil Dawson field goal. The defense responded by holding San Diego to a punt, sacking Phillip Rivers twice on the Chargers' opening drive.

The second half played out much the same as the first. Trent Richardson, taking away tackles-for-loss, tallied over 80 yards rushing and 51 yards receiving. Trent's dominance both powered the offense and kept Cleveland's defense fresh. Following a Phillip Rivers interception early in the fourth, Cleveland tacked on another field goal to push their lead to 12. In fact, San Diego only advanced beyond the 50-yard line once, late in the fourth with the game already out of reach.
