Coaching capsules:Cleveland -- Mike Pettine: 7-6, fi rst season as head coach.Mike Pettine was named the 15th full-time head coach in Cleve-land Browns history on Jan. 23, 2014. Pettine joined the Browns after spending 2013 as the defensive coordinator for the Buffalo Bills and the 2009-12 seasons as the defensive coordinator for the New York Jets. Pettine has helped his units to a top-10 fi nish in fewest yards allowed in all fi ve of his seasons as a defensive co-ordinator. Last season in Buffalo, Pettine implemented an aggres-sive defense that set a franchise record with 57 sacks, second-most in the NFL in 2012. Prior to joining the Jets, Pettine spent seven years (2002-08) with the Baltimore Ravens. He also spent 12 years coaching on the high school level and two on the college level.

A LOOK AT THIS WEEK’S GAMEA LOOK AT THIS WEEK’S GAME

LAST TIME IN THE REGULAR SEASONWHAT TO LOOK FOR THIS WEEK• With a win, the Browns would have their best record through 14 games since 2007, when the club started 9-5.

• With a win, the Browns would fi nish to 5-3 at home, the second most wins at home since FirstEnergy Stadium opened in 1999.

• One rushing touchdown would give the Browns 17 on the sea-son, their most since totaling 20 in 1986.

• With one interception, the Browns would have 20 on the sea-son, marking the highest total since the team notched 23 in 2008.

• With four or more takeaways, the Browns would force four or more turnovers in back-to-back games for the fi rst time since Cleveland forced fi ve at Baltimore on Nov. 18, 2001 and seven against the Bengals on Nov. 25, 2001.

• An interception return for a touchdown would mark the fi rst time the Browns recorded interception-return touchdowns in back-to-back games since 2001 when Corey Fuller and Anthony Henry scored on interceptions in Weeks 13 and 14, respectively.

WR Travis Benjamin• Could join Eric Metcalf (1992-94) as the only Browns players to return a punt for a touchdown in three consecutive seasons.

• Needs one punt-return TD to tie Joshua Cribbs (2005-12), Leroy Kelly (1964-73), Bobby Mitchell (1958-61) and Den-nis Northcutt (2000-06) for second place on the Browns career punt-return touchdown list with three.

RB Isaiah Crowell• Needs one rushing touchdown to tie Jim Brown (nine in 1957) for the second most rushing touchdowns by a Browns rookie. Needs three rushing touchdowns to tie Trent Richardson (11 in 2012) for the Browns rookie record.

• With 100 rushing yards, it would mark the fi rst time the Browns had three different players reach the century mark in rushing in the same season since 2003 (William Green, Lee Suggs and Jamel White).

LB Paul Kruger• With one sack, he would join LB Kamerion Wimbley 11 in 2006, LB Jamir Miller 13 in 2001, DL Rob Burnett 10 in 1994, DL Anthony Pleasant 11 in 1993, DL Michael Dean Perry 11.5 in 1990, LB Chip Banks 11 in 1985 and DL Reggie Camp 14 in 1984 as the only Browns to have double-digit sacks in a season.

DB Buster Skrine• An interception would give him fi ve on the season. Along with Tashaun Gipson (six), they would be the fi rst pair of Browns to each record at least fi ve interceptions in a season since Daven Holly (fi ve) and Sean Jones (fi ve) in 2006.

OL Joe Thomas• Has started all 125 career games and has not missed an offen-sive snap since joining the Browns as the third overall selection of the 2007 draft. His consecutive snaps streak of 7,772 is the longest active stretch in the league.

BROWNS 24BENGALS 3

Nov. 6, 2014Paul Brown Stadium, Cincinnati, Ohio

Cleveland forced four turnovers to help top the Bengals, 24-3, in a Thursday prime-time meet-ing at Paul Brown Stadium. The Browns’ fi rst takeaway came on the game’s opening drive after LB Craig Robertson picked off Bengals QB Andy Dalton on the Cincinnati 33-yard line and returned it 15 yards. Starting inside the red zone, the Browns scored their fi rst points of the game after RB Ben Tate found the end zone on a 4-yard rush. After the Bengals were forced to punt, Cincinnati recovered a Browns fumble on the punt return to set up a 43-yard fi eld goal by K Mike Nugent four plays later. Cleveland extended its lead to 14-3 with 13:14 to play in the second quarter after rookie RB Isaiah Crowell rushed for a 2-yard touchdown. On the second play of the ensuing drive, Bengals rookie RB Jeremy Hill broke through the line for a 13-yard run before DB Tashaun Gipson forced a fumble that was recovered by DB Joe Haden. With 4:03 before halftime, K Billy Cundiff capped a 14-play, 63-yard drive with a 32-yard fi eld goal. The Browns increased their lead to 24-3 at the 4:54 mark in the third quarter as rookie RB Terrance West crossed the goal line from 1-yard away, becoming the third Browns running back to score a touchdown in the contest. DB Buster Skrine recorded interceptions on each of Cincinnati’s next two possessions. In addition to intercepting Dalton three times, the Cleveland defense held Cincinnati to 165 total yards, including 79 yards passing.

HEAD COACH MIKE PETTINEHEAD COACH MIKE PETTINEMike Pettine is in his 13th season in the NFL and his 27th in the coaching profession. He was named the 15th full-time head coach in Cleveland Browns history by Owner Jimmy Haslam on Jan. 23, 2014.

Pettine, pronounced PETT-in, joined the Browns after spending 2013 as the defensive coordinator for the Buffalo Bills and the 2009-12 seasons as the defensive coordinator for the New York Jets. Pettine has helped his units to a top-10 fi nish in

fewest yards allowed in all fi ve of his seasons as a defensive coordinator.

During his season in Buffalo (2013), Pettine implemented an aggressive defense that set a franchise record with 57 sacks, second-most in the NFL, after fi nishing tied for 18th in the league with 36 in 2012. Buffalo was the only team to have three players record double-digit sacks, with DE Mario Williams leading the team and fi nishing fourth in the NFL with 13.

Under Pettine, the Bills defense fi nished 10th (333.4) in the NFL in total defense, after fi nishing 22nd (362.9) in 2012. Buffalo also led the NFL in opponent completion percentage (55.3), fi nished second in intercep-tions (23), third in opponent quarterback rating (74.9), fourth in passing defense (204.4), sixth in yards per play (4.90) and tied for sixth in take-aways (30).

Pettine helped mentor FS Jairus Byrd, DT Marcell Dareus, DT Kyle Wil-liams and DE Mario Williams, all 2014 Pro Bowl selections. Byrd and Mario Williams were also both named Associated Press All-Pro.

Pettine also oversaw the development of second-round pick Kiki Alonso, a linebacker who was named the Professional Football Writers of America (PFWA) 2013 Defensive Rookie of the Year and was the only defensive fi nalist for the 2013 Pepsi Next NFL Rookie of the Year award.

During his four years with New York, the Jets defense over those com-bined seasons ranked fi rst in the NFL in opposing quarterback rat-ing (71.0), completion percentage (52.6) and passing yards per game (186.3). The Jets defense yielded the second-fewest yards per game (294.8) and allowed just nine 100-yard receiving games from 2009-12, fewest in the league.

Pettine helped CB Darrelle Revis to multiple Pro Bowl and All-Pro selec-tions. DE Shaun Ellis and DT Kris Jenkins also made the Pro Bowl under Pettine’s guidance.

During his fi rst season as defensive coordinator in 2009, Pettine helped the Jets lead the NFL in points per game (14.8), total yards per game (252.3) and passing yards per game (153.7).

Prior to joining the Jets, Pettine spent seven years (2002-08) with the Baltimore Ravens. In his last four seasons with the Ravens, he coached the outside linebackers as part of a defensive unit that ranked fi fth (2005), fi rst (2006), sixth (2007) and second (2008) in the NFL. He helped Terrell Suggs and Adalius Thomas to Pro Bowl selections.

Before being promoted to position coach, Pettine worked with the line as a defensive assistant in 2004 after serving two years (2002-03) as a coaching assistant/quality-control coach. In those roles, he helped devel-op playbooks, scouting reports and video analysis for the defensive staff.

Prior to joining the NFL ranks, Pettine was the head coach at North Penn High School in Towamencin, Pa., from 1997-2001. He led the school to 45 wins in fi ve seasons, including an 11-2 record in 1999. He also served as the head coach for two years at William Tennent High School in Warm-inster, Pa., where he led the team to a school-record nine wins in 1996.

Pettine also spent two seasons (1993-94) at the college level, serving as a defensive graduate assistant at Pittsburgh.

Football is in Pettine’s DNA as his father, Mike Sr., was the head coach for 33 years at Central Bucks West High School in Doylestown, Pa. Pettine played under his father and earned all-state honors as a quarterback and defensive back.

He later served as an assistant coach on his father’s staff for fi ve seasons (1988-92). Mike Sr., retired as a head coach after the 1999 campaign as the winningest coach in the history of Pennsylvania high school football with a career record of 327-42-4.

Pettine was a two-year letterman as a free safety at Virginia. He led the team in interceptions in 1986, including tying a school record with three in one game against North Carolina State. He graduated with a degree in economics.

Born Sept. 25, 1966, Pettine has two daughters, Megan and Katie, and one son, Ryan. A lacrosse athlete, Megan is entering her redshirt-fresh-man season at Stony Brook University.

FIRSTENERGY STADIUM RENOVATIONFIRSTENERGY STADIUM RENOVATION

The Cleveland Browns in 2013 announced the initiation and de-velopment of a two-year FirstEnergy Stadium renovation, to be completed during the offseason prior to the 2014 and 2015 cam-paigns. The Browns, with the City of Cleveland and Mayor Frank Jackson’s support, following the team’s 2013 season launched the $120 million modernization efforts, with the goal of providing Browns fans a top-tier NFL facility.

“This renovation is a result of wanting to create the best fan ex-perience in the NFL, and also to create a venue to attract other world-class events at FirstEnergy Stadium,” said Browns Owner Jimmy Haslam. “We realize the transformative opportunity of this investment for the City of Cleveland. We’re excited to reward our fans and the community with the experience they deserve.”

All facets of the renovation were incorporated with the mission to provide Browns fans an enhanced in-game experience, while also improving the team’s home-fi eld advantage, bolstered by the NFL’s most loyal and passionate fan base.

During Phase I, the Browns will install two new angled video boards that measure approximately 6,900 square feet, nearly triple the size of the old units. The boards, which are equivalent in size to 645 60-inch HD televisions and will be among the NFL’s largest video displays in 2014, will be erected 32 feet lower and 56 closer to the fi eld, further enhancing their impact on all fans’ viewing ex-perience. New LED video boards, which will feature stats, scores and information, as well as new and upgraded LED ribbon boards, will also be installed throughout the stadium.

The new video elements are complemented by an entirely new audio system, delivering crisper, clearer audio in the facility. The main bowl’s sound system will be entirely replaced with best-in-class modern audio equipment, and will be supported by additional speaker locations throughout the complex that will improve clarity to previously shadowed areas. With the new video and audio sys-tems, the Browns have incorporated state-of-the-art technologies that will impress fans with high-level scoreboard programming and concert-quality sound.

In 2014, the project will also increase the lower bowl’s seating capacity while improving sightlines. Many Browns fans will be seated closer to the fi eld and observe dramatically better views of the game, fostering a more intimate environment while enhanc-ing the team’s home-fi eld advantage. In addition to creating more prime locations for fans, the Browns will also expand ADA seating in the project’s fi rst phase.

Easing in-stadium access for fans is another priority in the renova-tion’s initial stage. Two new escalators will be installed in both

the east and west end zones to ensure the most fl uid, convenient movement in and between stadium levels. At the end of the proj-ect, there will be 12 escalators providing access to stadium con-courses, including direct access to the 300 and 500 levels. FirstEnergy Stadium will also feature sponsor decks that host unique fan-engagement areas in both end zones. Each sponsor deck will enhance the in-stadium viewing experience, with fans gaining access to new locations and activations while still being able to view the fi eld.

In 2014, the Browns will also develop new food locations and of-ferings in the stadium, emphasizing local restaurants and tastes. By including these stations, the Browns aim to extend past pre-mium offerings to all fans, while also bringing a Cleveland vibe to FirstEnergy Stadium.

In 2015, the renovation will focus on general-admission conces-sion areas that boast improved and unique locally-based offerings; modernized club seats, suites and premium areas; and new hospi-tality and fan-engagement areas.

Also during the project’s second phase, new dramatic graphics honoring the Browns’ illustrious history and current players will be fashioned throughout the stadium and its concourses to improve the facility’s aesthetics.

Through Phase II, the Browns will continue to emphasize pro-viding the most up-to-date technology, with a heightened focus on providing reliable connectivity on all fan devices and creative ways to use those devices in the stadium.

BROWNS IN THE COMMUNITYBROWNS IN THE COMMUNITY

Through the Cleveland Browns Foundation, Browns players on Tuesday (Dec. 2) em-phasized the importance of early education through a school assembly and by person-ally reading with young students at Glendale Primary School. Browns players shared the importance of education, teamwork and studying throughout all phases of life, including in the early stages of childhood development, and also spent quality time reading with a group of preschoolers.The event, joined by Bedford High School’s football and cheerleading teams, as well as Bedford’s Little Bearcats members, was aligned with the goals of March into Kindergar-ten and Kindergarten Club, a collaboration of Cuyahoga County Public Library, Starting Point and MyCom. Kindergarten Club emphasizes a two-pronged approach to inform and encourage all parents how to prepare their children for kindergarten. The Browns’ visit connected with Kindergarten Club’s ongoing mission to help ease the transition into kindergarten for at-risk students and set them on a positive path at the start of school.

BROWNS READ WITH GLENDALE PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

FIRST AND TEN – #GIVE10

On Tuesday, the Browns will thank students at Rocky River Middle School for their volunteering efforts through the Browns First and Ten campaign. Browns players will congratulate the students and faculty for giving back to and improving their community by committing to at least 10 hours of service through the Browns’ #give10 pledge. The Browns and Pirates will host a school-wide assembly where students can ask their favorite players how they are involved in Northeast Ohio and their hometowns.

The Cleveland Browns this past offseason launched “First and Ten,” the club’s signature global community platform based on volunteering, during the 2014 rookie class’ fi rst community visit. The Cleveland Browns First and Ten campaign is the team’s new community program, established to inspire fans to volunteer in and help their communities throughout the world. With the creation of First and Ten, the Browns are the only NFL club to start a long-term volunteer program that unifi es the team and its entire fan base, with the goal of impacting every individual’s city across the globe, as well as the franchise’s local community.

All Browns fans throughout the world are encouraged to log onto ClevelandBrowns.com/community and pledge to give 10 hours of community service. The team, with the help of its dedicated fans, aims to compile more than 500,000 service hours within the next year through sign-ups online and during year-round Browns events, includ-ing training camp, gamedays, regular community visits and more.

Sept. 14, 2014FirstEnergy Stadium, Cleveland, Ohio

A 29-yard fi eld goal by Browns K Billy Cundiff in the closing seconds of regulation sealed the Browns’ fi rst win of the 2014 season in a 26-24 victory over the New Orleans Saints at First-Energy Stadium. The game-winning fi eld goal capped a 14-play, 85-yard drive that started at the Cleveland 4-yard line, and included two third-down conversions and a 10-yard pass from Browns QB Brian Hoyer to TE Gary Barnidge to convert on fourth-and-6 with 38 seconds to play. Hoyer also completed a 28-yard pass to WR Andrew Hawkins with 13 seconds remain-ing to set up Cundiff’s game-winner. The Browns started the game with a 10-0 lead in the fi rst quarter when Hoyer found WR Miles Austin for a 3-yard touchdown strike and Cundiff split the uprights from 32 yards away. New Orleans fi rst points came on a 27-yard K Shayne Graham fi eld goal but had its next offensive drive halted when DB Tashaun Gipson picked off Saints QB Drew Brees and returned it for a 62-yard touchdown. A botched snap on the extra point attempt left the score at 16-3 in favor of Cleveland. The Saints found the end zone for the fi rst time after Brees completed a 9-yard touchdown pass to TE Jimmy Graham in the fi nal seconds of the fi rst half. Brees found Graham again for a 1-yard score in the third quarter to take the lead, 17-16. Cleveland responded after RB Terrance West crossed the goal line from nine yards out to retake the lead. However, the Saints went back up by one on the ensuing drive as RB Mark Ingram scored on a 1-yard rush. After forcing the Browns to punt, New Orleans drove from its own 10-yard line to the Cleveland 31 with under four minutes to play. On third-and-5, LB Karlos Dansby sacked Brees for a 7-yard loss. The loss on the play forced the Saints to punt and give the Cleveland offense the ball back with 2:46 left to play, leading to the late fi eld goal and Browns victory.

RAVENS 23BROWNS 21

Sept. 21, 2014FirstEnergy Stadium, Cleveland, Ohio

For the third consecutive time to start the season, the Browns game was decided by a fi eld goal in the fi nal seconds. This time the Browns fell to the visiting Baltimore Ravens, 23-21, on a Justin Tucker 32-yard fi eld goal as time expired. In a game that had seven lead changes, Tucker opened the scoring converting on a 38-yard fi eld goal to cap Baltimore’s opening drive that covered 55 yards in 12 plays. Cleveland answered with an 11-play, 80-yard drive that ended with a RB Terrance West 1-yard leap into the end zone to take the fi rst-quarter lead. Baltimore reached the end zone for the fi rst time in the second quarter after FB Kyle Juszczyk caught a 9-yard pass from QB Joe Flacco. Rookie RB Isaiah Crowell capped a nine-play, 80-yard drive to open the second half with a 14-yard rushing touchdown. The Ravens responded with a rush-ing score of their own on the ensuing drive after rookie RB Lorenzo Taliaferro found the end zone from a yard out. The Browns answered with QB Brian Hoyer fi nding WR Miles Austin for a 4-yard strike. On the ensuing drive, DB Tashaun Gipson picked off his second pass of the season and returned it 17 yards to the Baltimore 30-yard line after LB Paul Kruger hit Flacco as he threw. K Billy Cundiff hit the left upright on a 50-yard fi eld goal attempt. The Ravens drove to the Cleveland 21-yard line but was stopped on a fourth-and-1 with 10:47 left to play. Hoyer connected with rookie WR Taylor Gabriel for a 70-yard pass to the Ravens’ 9-yard line. After being backed up to the Baltimore 18-yard line, Cundiff’s 36-yard fi eld goal attempt was blocked by Ravens DB Asa Jackson. Baltimore’s offense took over and drove down to Cleveland’s 3-yard line before Tucker split the uprights from 21 yards away, narrowing the defi cit to 21-20. After forcing Cleveland to a three-and-out from deep in their own territory, the Ravens started at the 50-yard line with 1:58 to play. Flacco’s second-down completion to Ravens WR Steve Smith, Sr. for 32 yards proved to set up Tucker’s game-winning fi eld goal as time expired.

After Indianapolis started at their own 8-yard line and drove to midfi eld, Browns DB Jim Leonhard intercepted Luck, returning it 34 yards with 10:21 to play in the contest. The turnover set up a 39-yard Billy Cundiff fi eld goal at the 8:34 mark in the fourth quarter. Luck capped an 11-play, 90-yard drive with a 1-yard touchdown pass to Hilton with 32 second left in regulation, marking the Colts’ fi rst lead of the game. QB Brian Hoyer was picked off with two seconds remaining by CB Josh Gordy to seal the Indianapolis victory.
