Bills lose

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y.—Phil Dawson wasn’t about to quit during Cleveland’s latest fourth-quarter meltdown. Turned out, neither did the rest of the Browns.
With a confident nod to coach Romeo Crennel, Dawson went out and calmly hit a career-long 56-yard field goal with 1:39 left that sent visiting Cleveland to a 29-27 win over the Buffalo Bills last night

Dawson’s fifth field goal of the game capped a wild finish. The teams traded leads during a 46-second span in the final two-and-a-half minutes—after the Browns appeared ready to squander a 13-point lead for the third-straight week.
And the game wasn’t decided until Buffalo’s Rian Lindell missed a 47-yard field-goal attempt wide right with 38 seconds remaining, allowing Cleveland to run out the clock.
Suddenly, the Browns (4-6) have something to feel good about after they were on the verge of unravelling. Running back Jamal Lewis even questioned whether his teammates had quit during a 34-30 loss to Denver back on Nov. 6.
“We got tired of what happened the previous two weeks, getting a lead and losing it in the fourth quarter,” receiver Braylon Edwards said.
“As a team, we rallied,” he added. “We came together when we were supposed to and made the plays necessary to win.”
It’s the Bills (5-5) who now face questions about unravelling. They’ve lost four-straight—their longest skid since 2005—and five of six, looking nothing like the upstart team that opened the season 4-0.
Much of the blame for this loss falls on the shoulders of quarterback Trent Edwards, who threw three interceptions on his first four possessions.
