Key players injured in Cleveland's 37-24 win over Buffalo
CLEVELAND, Oct. 4 () -- T.J. Ward's 44-yard interception return for a score with 1:44 to play Thursday secured a 37-24 Cleveland win over Buffalo in game filled with key injuries.The starting quarterbacks for both teams -- Cleveland's Brian Hoyer and Buffalo's E.J. Manuel -- were knocked out of the contest with knee injuries and Hoyer had an MRI scheduled for Friday amid concerns he had torn ligaments.Brian Weeden,[url=http://www.51guomi.com/]jimmy choo outlet[/url], returning from a thumb injury, came in for Hoyer and completed 13-of-24 passes for 197 yards and a touchdown.Buffalo's Jeff Tuel was not so fortunate while filling in for Manuel. Tuel went just 8-of-20 for 80 yards and it was his pass that Ward intercepted as Buffalo was trying to score a late touchdown that could have won the game.In addition to the injuries suffered by the quarterbacks, Buffalo's leading receiver Steve Johnson left the game in the first half with a back injury and Cleveland running back Chris Ogbonnaya suffered a concussion.Buffalo scored the game's first 10 points, fell behind at halftime 17-10, regained a 24-17 advantage in the third period and then saw the Browns score the final 20 points of the contest.Cleveland improved to 3-2 and took a half game lead over both Baltimore and Cincinnati in the AFC North. Buffalo slipped to 2-3 and is in last place in the AFC East.Despite scoring almost 40 points,[url=http://www.yodasblog.com/]louboutin men[/url], the Browns managed only two offensive touchdowns -- those coming on a 1-yard run by Willis McGahee in the second period and a 37-yard throw from Wheeden to Josh Gordon in the third.Cleveland came up with a key 79-yard punt return for a score by Travis Benjamin late in the half and Billy Cundiff kicked three field goals.The highlight for the Bills came when C.J. Spiller ran 54 yards for a touchdown on Buffalo's opening possession of the second half to create a 17-17 tie.
