Raiders seek first win, host Browns

Sep 23, 2007 - 12:17 PM Cleveland (1-1) at Oakland (0-2) Sunday 4:05 pm EDT

OAKLAND, California (Ticker) - The Oakland Raiders hope to give first-year coach Lane Kiffin his first win Sunday when they host the Cleveland Browns.

Last Sunday, the Raiders thought they had their first win when Sebastian Janikowski drilled a 52-yard field goal in overtime at Denver. However, the Broncos had called timeout, then Janikowski's second attempt hit the left upright.

Denver went on to win, 23-20, handing Oakland its 11th straight loss, dating to last season. Since the end of the 2005 campaign, the Raiders have dropped 24 of their last 24 games.

Kiffin had reason to be pleased with running back LaMont Jordan, who rushed for 159 yards against the Broncos. Limited to nine games last season, Jordan has rushed for 229 yards and a touchdown and caught nine passes for 89 yards in the first two games.

However, Kiffin needs more out of his passing game after Josh McCown completed just 8-of-16 passes for 73 yards and one touchdown with three interceptions last week.

Browns coach Romeo Crennel had be shocked at his club's offense in last Sunday's 51-45 victory over Cincinnati. Derek Anderson, who was tabbed the starter after Charlie Frye was traded to Seattle, completed 20-of-33 passes for 328 yards and five touchdowns with an interception.

Jamal Lewis also had a huge day rushing for 216 yards and a touchdown. Tight end Kellen Winslow also got in the act, catching six passes for 100 yards and a score.
