Josh Norman, Redskins defense come up big in clutch

LANDOVER — Josh Norman tossed the football to Joe Barry. Then he reached into the imaginary quiver strapped to his back, loaded an imaginary arrow into an imaginary bow and launched it into the crowd at FedEx Field.

For the third consecutive drive, the Washington Redskins defense willed the Cleveland Browns into committing a turnover — two of which the offense converted into a pair of touchdowns to take a 31-20 victory on Sunday.

The Redskins defense forced Browns fullback Malcolm Johnson and running back Duke Johnson to fumble on the two possessions prior, the first of which was converted into a touchdown to give Washington a 24-20 lead.
