Late Jets TD Gives New York Halftime Lead

A Mark Sanchez one-yard run late in the first half as the visiting New York Jets ahead of the Browns 17-13 heading into the locker rooms for halftime.

After an exchange of field goals to open the scoring, Peyton Hillis scored from 12 yards out to put the Browns up 10-3 at the end of the first quarter. The Jets tied the game in the second on a Sanchez TD pass to Jerricho Cotchery. After another Dawson field goal put the Browns back on top, Sanchez scored on the keeper to give the Jets the advantage.

For the Browns, Hillis has 60 yards on ten carries, while Colt McCoy is again playing error-free football. McCoy is 8-12 at the intermission for 112 yards with no picks. New York leads 12-11 in first downs, and the Browns have the edge in yardage, 196-163.
