Colts-Browns: Third quarter update

Browns 6, Colts 3

Notes:

-- The Browns stretched it to seven straight quarters without a touchdown, but they still lead thanks to the defense. Brandon McDonald made a nice play to intercept Peyton Manning on the Colts' first play after halftime. McDonald had tight inside coverage against Reggie Wayne and Manning tried to drop it over him, but McDonald came down with it. The Browns drove to the Colts 17, but Phil Dawson missed a 34-yard field goal.

-- Not a great day for the kickers so far, even though they have produced all the points. After the Colts drove to the Browns' 28 after Dawson's miss, Adam Vinatieri missed from 46 yards with a kick that took a nosedive as it approached the uprights.

-- Watch to see if one of these teams opens it up a bit in the fourth quarter. Manning completed his first pass of the day to slot receiver Anthony Gonzalez, a Cleveland native, on the final play of the third quarter,

-- John Dudley
