Brady Quinn led the Cleveland Browns to a 17-16 win over the Denver Broncos, showing his efficiency and value for the second straight game.
Quinn threw a pass that Joshua Cribbs turned into a 20-yard touchdown to break a 10-10 tie in the third quarter, but the rookie from Notre Dame was robbed of another apparent TD throw on the Browns’ previous possession.
Quinn, whose TD to Cribbs came against backups, completed 7 of 11 passes for 81 yards. Charlie Frye started and went 5-of-7 for 68 yards and Derek Anderson was 7-of-9 for 74 yards.
Meanwhile in Glendale, the San Diego Chargers scored a 33-31 victory over the Arizona Cardinals.
Even without LaDainian Tomlinson, the Chargers’ offence was in mid-season form, moving the ball at will against the Cardinals’ first string offense.
Quarterback Philip Rivers found receivers all over the field, completing 20-of-29 passes for 282 yards and two touchdowns. He hit Vincent Jackson for touchdowns of 33 and six yards.
Arizona ’s Matt Leinart also had a good night, completing 10-for-16 for 196 yards and a touchdown. He did not play after halftime.
