But on Baltimore’s first possession of the second half, quarterback Joe Flacco connected on a 41-yard pass to Derrick Mason, who spun out of cornerback Brandon McDonald’s tackle and raced down the sideline to the Cleveland 13. Rice took it in from there to make it 7-0.
On the next snap, Quinn (13 of 31, 99 yards, two interceptions), making his first start since being pulled 10 quarters into the season by Cleveland coach Eric Mangini, threw high and wide to tight end Robert Royal and the ball bounced to Landry, who scampered in untouched to make it 13-0.
Browns receiver Josh Cribbs was taken to a hospital for further tests after being injured on a hard hit on the final play of the game. Mangini said Cribbs had movement and feeling in all parts of his body when he left the stadium.
Adams fined $250K
The NFL has fined Titans owner Bud Adams $250,000 for making an obscene gesture at Buffalo fans while celebrating Tennessee’s victory over the Bills. Commissioner Roger Goodell notified Adams of the fine, and league spokesman Greg Aiello said it is for conduct detrimental to the NFL. Adams, 86, was seen making the gesture while in his luxury suite and again on the field after Sunday’s 41-17 victory. He issued an apology a couple of hours later, saying he got caught up in the excitement of the moment . . . The NFL Players Association is trying to set up a meeting with Browns players this week to talk about Mangini’s practices, a person at the union told the Associated Press. The person said the union is looking into what has been going on in Cleveland this season because of concerns about health and safety.
