The Cleveland Browns won a football game. Look, we'll get to how ugly the performance was this week, but to be able to write that sentence is, at the very least, a good thing.

•Star: Browns punter Dave Zastidul. His punts continuously put the Bills in poor field position. It was his ninth and final punt that set up the Browns game-winning field goal.

•Key play: Bills returner Roscoe Parrish tried to pick up a punt late in the fourth quarter, but it was mishandled. Blake Constanzo jumped on the fumble at Buffalo's 15-yard line. It set up the game-winning field goal.

•Key stat: Jamal Lewis had 117 yards on 31 carries and picked up the slack left by the Browns' passing game. Granted, the Browns dropped eight passes, but Derek Anderson finished 2-for-17 for 23 yards and an interception.
