The thing you have to consider is this: while Oakland was dealing with their own hurdle on defense, the Browns were dealing with a hurdle of their own -- winning on the road. The Browns finally cleared that hurdle against Oakland.

After Phil Dawson missed a field goal for the first time this season, Carson Palmer made a picture-perfect throw to WR Rod Streater in the slot, who took it 64 yards for a touchdown. It's a 13-10 Browns lead heading into the fourth.
Phil Dawson's field goal made it 3-0, and a few moments later, Brandon Weeden connected with Josh Gordon for a 44-yard touchdown to make it 10-0. The Raiders added a field goal, and it is 10-3 Browns heading into the half.
After a couple of nice runs on offense in the first quarter for the Browns, Brandon Weeden sailed two passes, the second of which was intercepted by the Raiders. Oakland had to punt on their first two possessions.
