Lions keep Browns winless

It was clear why Butch Davis made Kelly Holcomb the starter, but the Browns still lost, 38-17.
DETROIT (AP) -- The Detroit Lions have been miserable the last two years after one-win preseasons. They can only hope their success during this exhibition season, with two wins in three games, will carry over when the games count.
Scotty Anderson caught touchdown passes from two quarterbacks as Detroit beat the Cleveland Browns 38-17 Saturday night.
Detroit won just five games the past two seasons -- none on the road -- but is optimistic about the arrival of new coach Steve Mariucci and the addition of some speedy players.
Harrington in control
Just as Joey Harrington did in Detroit's exhibition win over Pittsburgh, he led the Lions to a go-ahead score at the end of the first half. Jason Hanson's 23-yard kick as time expired gave Detroit a 13-10 lead.
In the third quarter, Hanson kicked another field goal and backup quarterback Mike McMahon threw a 32-yard TD pass to Anderson and ran for another score to give the Lions a 31-10 lead.
The Browns, who have growing concerns on defense, will look for their first exhibition win Thursday night at home against Atlanta.
A week after Cleveland coach Butch Davis selected Kelly Holcomb as his starter, ahead of Tim Couch, it was clear why he made the decision.
Holcomb was 14-of-21 for 130 yards and a TD. Couch, who fumbled his first snap, finished 2-of-6 for 25 yards with one TD and one interception. Aaron Shea caught four passes for 37 yards.
Harrington, who was 15-of-20 for 184 yards with a TD and an interception, was strong after a rough start.
Harrington had time when he dropped back on Detroit's second play, but when he couldn't find an open receiver and he felt pressure, he threw the ball up for grabs deep and down the middle of the field and Earl Little intercepted it.
The second-year quarterback bounced back the next time he had a chance.
On a third-and-5 from Detroit's 25, Harrington eluded a sack and threw a pass over the middle to rookie Charles Rogers, who slithered up the field for 26 yards. Harrington completed his first four passes during the 12-play, 75-yard drive that set up Hanson's 23-yard field goal.
Early lead
Cleveland took a 7-3 lead on the ensuing drive on Kelly Holcomb's 6-yard pass to Quincy Morgan.
Harrington second scoring drive was more impressive than his first.
He completed his first four passes for 15, 14, 16 and 12 yards. The drive stalled, but Mariucci chose to go for it on fourth-and-3 at Cleveland's 4. Harrington showed poise as he looked at in a few different directions before finding Anderson open in the back of the end zone.
Cleveland tied it at 10 late in the second quarter on Phil Dawson's 46-yard kick.
With 22 seconds left in the half, Harrington connected on three passes for 56 yards, including a 36-yard picture-perfect throw to Anderson to set up Hanson field goal.
On Tim Couch's first snap, he fumbled and teammate James Jackson recovered. On Couch's second drive, he threw a pass behind Morgan that was tipped by Detroit's Blue Adams, intercepted by Lamar Campbell and returned 19 yards to Cleveland's 28.
McMahon rolled right and cut back on a 1-yard TD run five plays later. He rolled right again, and threw back to Avon Cobourne for 2-point conversion, giving Detroit a 24-10 lead.
Couch was sacked by rookie Boss Bailey on the third down of his third drive at Cleveland's 8.
Four plays later, McMahon threw a 32-yard TD pass to Anderson, who did not have to break his stride to catch the long pass. McMahon was 10-of-17 for 114 yards with a throwing and rushing TD.
C.J. Jones returned the next kickoff to Detroit's 22 and Couch ended his poor game with a 17-yard TD pass to Jones to make it 31-17 late in the third quarter. Detroit's Autry Denson capped the scoring with a 37-yard run with 1:09 remaining.
