NFL: Browns 6, Bills 3: Ugly win for Cleveland


By JOHN WAWROW
AP Sports Writer

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Backup kicker Billy Cundiff hit an 18-yard field goal with 23 seconds remaining Sunday, giving Cleveland a 6-3 victory over Buffalo for its first win of the season.

Cundiff’s kick ended an offensive display of ineptitude between the Browns and Bills in a how-bad-was-it game.
Cundiff also hit a 24-yard field goal in the second quarter, while punter Dave Zastudil was the Browns’ MVP. Zastudil downed seven of nine punts inside the Bills 20, including three inside the 5. Zastudil also provided the game-turning play when Roscoe Parrish muffed a rolling punt. The Browns recovered at the Bills 16 to set up the winning score.
The Bills (1-4) have lost to winless teams in consecutive weeks following a 38-10 loss at Miami.
