Mistake-prone Browns fall to Giants, 37-34

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Eli Manning was in Super Bowl form for the New York Giants and Domenik Hixon was even better.

New York’s 37-34 exhibition victory Monday night was made easier by the Cleveland Browns, who had a season’s worth of mistakes in little more than a quarter, including 98 penalty yards and a fumble that resulted in a 95-yard TD for the Giants.

That return gave New York a 30-3 lead less than a minute into the second quarter, one that second- and third-stringers barely managed to maintain.
