CLEVELAND (Ticker) -- Derek Anderson and Braylon Edwards were 
eager to answer their critics on a national stage.

The Cleveland Browns' Pro Bowl pitch-and-catch combination from 
last season came alive in a 35-14 lopsided win over the 
defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants on Monday night.

New York previously had won 13 straight games away from home, 
including their upset victory over New England in Super Bowl 
XLII.

"Tonight was a dream for me to play on Monday Night Football," 
Edwards said.

Stumbling out of the gate with one win in four games, Anderson 
began hearing calls for Brady Quinn to take his quarterback job.
Bothered by frequent drops, Edwards came into the game with 95 
receiving yards on the season.

But against the Giants, the duo came to life.

Anderson completed 18-of-29 passes for 310 yards and two 
touchdowns and Edwards caught five balls for 154 yards and one 
touchdown in a win that may help turn around the Browns' season.

"We were in a freakish rhythm," Edwards said.  "It's a new 
season for us."

Despite their offensive explosion, it took a defensive play to 
seal the win for Cleveland (2-3).

After Anderson tossed an 11-yard strike to Edwards to make it 
27-14 on the first play of the fourth quarter, New York drove 
from its own 14-yard line to the Browns 9.  The Giants were 
gashing the Browns on the ground when Eli Manning threw his 
third interception of the contest.

Browns defensive back Eric Wright made a finger-tip grab at the 
6-yard line and raced 94 yards along the left sideline for a 
touchdown, avoiding a potential tackler in Manning.  Anderson 
then found Edwards for a two-point play and a 35-14 advantage.

"When I was running I tried to give myself some room so I could 
stay in bounds and I lucked out," Wright said.  "It is real 
embarrassing if you get tackled by the quarterback, so I had to 
stay inbounds."

Browns coach Romeo Crennel was pleased with the play of his 
secondary.

"I've said all along that these guys can compete," he said.  
"They are getting better."

The Giants made one last gasp, driving to the Browns 6 before 
going out on downs with 3:58 to play.

"I could feel it.  I could see it in guys' eyes," Anderson said.
"During warmups, guys were focused and the intensity was there. 
In the locker room before the game, you could feel it."

New York took a 7-3 lead on a 7-yard touchdown run by Brandon 
Jacobs, as the big back ran through Cleveland defensive back 
Mike Adams at the 3-yard line and powered into the end zone.

The Browns answered with touchdown drives of 74 and 77 yards.  
The first drive was fueled by a 70-yard strike from Anderson to 
Edwards that ended up at the New York 4.  Anderson also 
connected with Darnell Dinkins on a 22-yard TD throw with 2:15 
left in the opening half, making the score 17-7.

It appeared the Browns would take momentum in the locker room, 
but an illegal contact penalty on Adams helped sustain a 
10-play, 80-yard drive that was capped by Manning's 3-yard 
touchdown pass to Plaxico Burress with 12 seconds left to trim 
the deficit to 17-14.

Yet, Manning threw an interception on the first play from 
scrimmage of the third quarter and Cleveland drove to the Giants
8, settling for a 26-yard field goal by Phil Dawson, his second 
of the game.

"We make no excuses," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said.  "It was a
physical game and we lost the battle of turnovers."

New York (4-1) entered the contest with just one turnover on the
season.

"We haven't been turning the ball over, I haven't been throwing 
interceptions," Manning said.  "You turn the ball over three 
times (three interceptions), that's just not the formula for 
winning games."]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[NY Giants (4-0) at Cleveland (1-3), Monday,8:30pm, EDT

CLEVELAND (Ticker) -- New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin is 
tired of talking about wide receiver Plaxico Burress.

During his weekly conference call with the media, Coughlin not 
surprisingly was peppered with questions about Burress, who has 
rejoined the team after serving a one-game suspension and will 
be able to play in Monday night's contest at Cleveland.

"So far, there have been five or six questions and they have all
been on this," Coughlin said. "He is back.  He was told to be 
back (Monday) morning, that he would report for work on the 6th.
He did.  He exercised with his teammates; he ran and he did the 
things that he was supposed to do."

Although Burress hardly was missed in the Giants' 44-6 drubbing 
of the Seattle Seahawks, they will need him if they are going to
make another Super Bowl run. While he would not confirm it, 
Coughlin expects that Burress will regain his starting role 
against the Browns.

"I expect him to come back and that is something I hadn't really
thought about or discussed," Coughlin added. "I should have 
anticipated it. But I would say right now, yes."

The Giants (4-0), who have eight straight wins, including last 
season's playoff run, will be looking to continue their best 
start since 1990, when they opened 10-0 en route to their second
Super Bowl victory. New York also is seeking its 12th 
consecutive road win.

While the Giants have benefited from a favorable schedule - 
playing only one division game - they appear to be getting 
stronger in their Super Bowl defense.

New York gained 523 yards against the Seahawks  - its highest 
total in nearly six years - and scored on its first five 
possessions.

Brandon Jacobs rushed for 136 yards to pace on a ground attack 
that churned out 254 yards and Eli Manning spread around the 
wealth, completing passes to eight different receivers, 
including a pair of touchdowns to Sinorice Moss.

"We have the three running backs," said Manning, also referring 
to Ahmad Bradshaw and Derrick Ward. "Receivers, we are rotating 
guys in and out.  We're moving and all of them are doing a good 
job. We don't have a whole lot of confusion."

The Browns (1-3) are at the other end of the spectrum, still 
struggling to find a rhythm on offense. Despite the offensive 
problems, coach Romeo Crennel has elected to stay with 
quarterback Derek Anderson, even though Cleveland fans are 
calling for Brady Quinn.

Prior to last week's bye, Cleveland posted its first win of the 
season with a 20-12 victory at Cincinnati, but the Browns 
managed only three points threw three quarters before scoring 17
in the final period. Anderson passed for only 138 yards, the 
fourth straight game in which he has been held under 200 this 
season.

The Browns could get a boost against the Giants as wide receiver
Donte' Stallworth is expected to return after missing the first 
four games with a quad injury.]]></description>
