The Broncos trailed by 10 points heading into the final period, but managed to halt a three-game losing streak and improve to 5-4 -- thanks chiefly to a 447-yard passing performance by Cutler. Every other team in the AFC West has a losing record.

Cleveland's Brady Quinn, making his first NFL start after being drafted out of Notre Dame last year, threw for 239 yards and hit Kellen Winslow for two first-half touchdowns.

The Browns (3-6) owned a 20-10 halftime lead and were in front 23-13 with 15 minutes to play.

Cutler then turned the game around by hitting Eddie Royal with a 93-yard touchdown pass and then finding Daniel Graham with a 28-yard scoring toss on the Broncos' next possession for a 27-23 lead.

Quinn promptly drove the Browns 78 yards in nine plays en route to a 1-yard touchdown run by Jamal Lewis, but Cutler answered with a 13-play, 80-yard drive that ended with his scoring throw to Marshall with 1:14 to play.

After the ensuing kickoff, Quinn threw four straight incompletions -- three of them aimed at Winslow. The last of those passes went between Winslow's hands.
