Throwback Thursday: Browns need all 51 points to beat Bengals in 2007

To open the 2007 season, the Browns managed just a single touchdown against the Steelers in a home opener to forget.

Just one week later, Cleveland’s offense erupted in memorable fashion at the ideal time. Locked in a shootout with Carson Palmer and the Cincinnati Bengals, the Browns found the end zone six times and added three Phil Dawson field goals to escape with a wild, 51-45, victory.

“For the first time in a long time, I’m excited to go home and watch our highlights,” wide receiver Braylon Edwards told the Associated Press.

Derek Anderson threw five touchdown passes and finished with 328 yards.
