The Vikings scored two touchdowns in the third quarter to take a 24-13 lead. Mistakes by the Browns led to both touchdowns. Sloppy coverage on the third quarter kickoff led to a short touchdown run by Adrian Peterson. An interception thrown by Brady Quinn on a pass intended for Braylon Edwards led to a touchdown pass from Brett Favre to Percy Harvin.

The Browns are not good enough offensively to recover from critical mistakes. They did not play with the same fire in the third quarter they showed in the first half.

It is early in fourth quarter as I write this. The clock shows 11:43 to play as the offense takes the field following a punt by the Vikings. The Browns went to the no-huddle at the end of the third quarter. Time to come up with Plan B.
