Oakland 3, Cleveland 0
From Oakland, California, the East side of the Bay …
First down — Not sure that using a timeout on third-and-40 (the Browns did that on their first possession) is that wise an idea … unless you've got a 41-yard play ready.
Second down — Kamerion Wimbley blows by Barry Sims on the Raiders first play to get a sack and force a fumble. Based on that play it could be a long day for Sims.
Third down — Joshua Cribbs' over-the-shoulder catch on Shane Lechler's 68-yard punt might turn out to be the best catch of the day.
Fourth down — The Browns safeties seem to be struggling. Sean Jones got turned around on a long pass to John Madsen, a backup tight end.
Gain of 18 …
First down — Sebastian Janikowski kicks a field goal and his second touchback, giving him 11-of-13 this season. Cribbs might have trouble getting those big returns today.
