INDIANAPOLIS -- DeShone Kizer produced two fourth-quarter touchdowns to close the gap to 31-28 on the Colts, but it wasn't enough to dig the Browns out their first-half hole.
He threw an 11-yard TD pass to Kenny Britt with 6:56 remaining and then scored on a 1-yard keeper to pull the Browns to within 31-28 with 2:04 left in the game to produce the final margin.
As a result, the Browns fell to 0-3 for the eighth time since 1999 and sixth time in the last 10 seasons.
The two fourth-quarter TDs gave the Browns hopes after they had fallen behind 28-7 in the second and 28-14 at the half.
