CLEVELAND - Before he earned Pro Bowl trips, adulation and an enormous multimillion-dollar contract, Joe Thomas was just a talented rookie left tackle on a winning team.The Browns were 5-3 at the midway point in 2007, and Thomas figured it would be like that every season.It aint so, Joe.Seven years, several coaching changes and a carousel of starting quarterbacks later, Cleveland is 5-3 again.It feels pretty good, Thomas said after a 22-17 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Its been a long time. I like where we are.The Browns, beaten down for so long, are legit.Brian Hoyer threw a 34-yard TD pass to wide receiver Taylor Gabriel with 8:59 remaining, helping Cleveland complete a favourable three-game stretch with their fourth win in five games. The Browns are in the mix, and with a big game ahead on Thursday night in Cincinnati, they can make something special of this season.Cleveland was trailing 17-16 when Hoyer held on to the ball a little longer and completed his second TD pass, this one to Gabriel, an emerging undrafted free agent who has been making big plays all year.It wasnt always pretty with the way our offence was playing, said Hoyer, who ignored some boos and improved to 8-3 as Clevelands starter. But were 5-3 and weve just got to continue to improve.Hoyer finished 21 of 34 for a season-high 300 yards, two TDs and two interceptions.The Browns went 2-1 the past three weeks against Jacksonville, Oakland and Tampa Bay, who entered a combined 2-19. Cleveland may have struggled against teams it should have handled with ease, but past Browns teams would have likely lost these types of games.Things have changed quite a bit, Pro Bowl cornerback Joe Haden said. To be 5-3 is just amazing. Five games is the most Ive won since Ive been here.Tampa Bays Mike Glennon threw a pair of 24-yard TDs to rookie Mike Evans for the Buccaneers (1-7), who have lost four in a row and five this season by six points or less.Weve got to find a way to win a game now is what we have to do, said first-year coach Lovie Smith. Were running out of time.Billy Cundiff kicked three field goals for the improved Browns, who have the leagues attention under first-year coach Mike Pettine.Well celebrate a little bit tonight, but emphasis on a little, Pettine said. Were in a good spot and our guys are confident, but this is one here where we know we have to be all in this week.Tampa Bay had a chance in the final two minutes, but couldnt convert on a fourth-and-11 with 1:45 left. The Bucs appeared to pick up a first down on the previous play, but Evans was called for pass interference.Hoyers TD pass to Gabriel was set up by Cleveland linebacker Craig Robertson, who broke through and deflected a Tampa Bay punt to give the Browns the ball at the Bucs 35.Two plays later, Hoyer dropped back and was about to be hit by Tampa Bays Lavonte David on a blitz. But rookie running back Terrance West alertly stepped up and got a piece of the Buccaneers linebacker, giving Hoyer enough time to loft his scoring pass to Gabriel and giving the Browns a 22-17 lead.I had three good blocks today, West said. That was the best one, though.Glennon went 17 of 33 for 260 yards, and fell to 1-4 while filling in for injured starter Josh McCown.His second 24-yard scoring pass to Evans put the Bucs ahead 17-16.Glennon floated a pass to the back shoulder of Evans, who made a twisting catch and was able to get both feet in for the score. As he did after his first score, Evans looked at Clevelands sideline and rubbed his fingers together in the money-making gesture his former college teammate, Browns rookie quarterback Johnny Manziel, made famous at Texas A&M.It just came to my mind, Evans said of his celebration. Thats one of my best buds. I just wanted to give him a hard time.A costly penalty by Tampa Bay star defensive end Gerald McCoy helped the Browns take a 16-10 lead. The Browns were lining up for a go-ahead field goal when McCoy, who signed a six-year, $95.2 million in October, was whistled for a neutral-zone infraction. Cleveland converted on fourth-and-1 and two plays later, Hoyer hit a wide-open West.NOTES: Browns S Tashaun Gipson got his sixth interception. ... Browns DE Billy Winn set up Clevelands first score by blocking a 31-yard field-goal attempt by Tampa Bays Patrick Murray. ... The Buccaneers led at halftime for the first time this season. ... Hoyers 300 yards are his most since his first start last season at Minnesota (321).___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Custom Green Bay Packers Jerseys .

Davon House Jersey . -- Wichita State is all alone in the record book. Brett Hundley Jersey .com) - Eric Fehrs goal 42 seconds into overtime lifted the Washington Capitals to a 5-4 come-from-behind victory over Columbus, halting the Blue Jackets seven-game win streak.MANCHESTER, England - Manchester United relied on a fortunate winning goal from Juan Mata and a breathtaking double save from David de Gea in injury time to beat Stoke 2-1 and secure a fourth straight Premier League victory on Tuesday.Comfortable but never convincing at Old Trafford, United ended up scrambling to the three points that kept the team in the top four and maintained its revival under new manager Louis van Gaal.Matas winner in the 59th minute had a slice of fortune about it, with the Spain playmakers inswinging free kick from the right curling over the heads of a number of players in the box and bouncing into the far corner.However, it needed two superb saves from De Gea and a goal-line clearance from Ashley Young — all in the final two minutes of injury time — to prevent Stoke from checking Uniteds momentum.I am not happy with the performance, Van Gaal said. Maybe we forced the luck and that is also because of the fighting spirit.Without the injured pair of Wayne Rooney and Angel Di Maria, United lacked creativity and took a 21st-minute lead through a direct route when Marouane Fellaini scored a towering, far-post header.Steven Nzonzi equalized in the 39th for Stoke with a powerful shot from the edge of the area and failed to genuinely test United until a frantic, final few minutes.The episodes at the end were unbelievable, said Stoke manager Mark Hughes, who spent 13 years at United as a player across two spells.United has beeen looking to restore the fear factor at Old Trafford — but its makeshift team was far from intimidating without Rooney and Di Maria, and a defence containing wingers Young and Antonio Valencia as full backs.ddddddddddddIn the end, two high balls into the box — crosses that Stokes physically imposing teams down the years were masters at dealing with — were the downfall of the hard-working but limited visitors.Fellaini nipped in front of left back Erik Pieters to meet a hanging cross to the far post by Ander Herrera with a downward header into the centre of the goal. Stoke should have been behind by then, with Herrera blasting a shot over the bar after Robin van Persie had intercepted a weak clearance by goalkeeper Asmir Begovic.Nzonzi scored with Stokes only shot on goal in the first half but United restored its lead just before the hour mark when Mata swung in a cross that narrowly eluded leaping United defender Marcos Rojo, who initially claimed the goal, and dropped into the far corner.Fit-again Colombia striker Radamel Falcao came on for the final 12 minutes for United to replace 19-year-old James Wilson, who came in for Rooney.But it was Stoke which finished the stronger, with Mame Biram Diouf seeing a header brilliantly parried out by De Gea and then having his goalbound shot cleared off the line by Young.Im happy with the result, Van Gaal said, tomorrow we have a Christmas party and its important we can enjoy that.
