Texans-Browns: Third quarter update

Texans 16, Browns 6

Notes:

-- Brady Quinn has played like a quarterback making his third career start this quarter. His two interceptions came on throws he shouldn't have made. On the first, defensive end Anthony Weaver dropped back into his passing lane to Braylon Edwards for an easy interception. On the second, Quinn again tried to go to Edwards on third-and-2 from the Houston 12, but Fred Bennett had tight coverage and made the interception. That killed a great opportunity for the Browns to cut into the Texans' 16-6 lead.

-- Sage Rosenfels also threw a bad interception on a pass behind Owen Daniels that Brodney Pool picked off. But Rosenfels' defense picked him up. Mario Williams stormed in unblocked and whipped Jamal Lewis to the ground for a four-yard loss on first down, and Quinn threw his first interception on the next play. They led to a Kris Brown 36-yard field goal.

-- Lewis did some nice running on the drive on which Quinn was intercepted deep in Houston territory. He had six carries for 42 yards, including 16 yards on the first play of the drive and 10 yards on a fake end-around.
