Hallelujah!, It's a good thing Jake Delhomme is a devout christian, because the Browns needed a prayer to close out the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
Sidelined with a high ankle sprain, Delhomme returned to his starting role for the first time since week one to face the team he once led to a Super Bowl appearance in his seven-year career with the Panthers.
After watching a 21-7 lead vanish, the Browns needed a John Kasay missed field goal to secure a 24-23 victory at Cleveland Browns Stadium. The Browns, playing without the inspiration of rookie quarterback Colt McCoy due to a high ankle sprain, improved to 4-7 on the season with the victory. This was the first victory of the year for Cleveland with Delhomme as starter, holding out hopes for a late playoff push.
The Browns offense was led by RB Peyton Hillis, who rushed for 131 yards on 26 carries, three that resulted in Browns TD's. He also caught six passes for 61 yards.
Delhomme was shaky going 24-35 for 245 yards with two interceptions in his return. An ugly victory, but a victory nonetheless.
