BROWNS ROUNDUP News and notes

Moving up: With 108 return yards against the Bengals, Browns kick-return specialist Joshua Cribbs moved into third place on Cleveland's kickoff return yardage list (2,183). Cribbs passed Glen Young, who was third on the list with 2,079 yards. Cribbs also solidified fifth place on the kickoff return attempt list with 85. Cribbs had a 101-yard return nullified by a holding penalty on the first play of Sunday's game. "I saw the hole last night and all week," said Cribbs of the return. "I knew it was going to be there again. I saw the flag when I was running so that is why I didn't celebrate. I just knew I had to go back to work."
