CLEVELAND, Nov. 30 (UPI) -- A 37-yard fumble-return by Robert Mathis put Indianapolis ahead in the fourth quarter and the Colts hung on Sunday to down the Cleveland Browns 10-6.

Mathis, who also had two sacks, scored with 9:45 to play after scooping up a fumble by Cleveland quarterback Derek Anderson.

Peyton Manning completed 15-of-21 passes for 125 yards, but had three turnovers, including two interceptions, for the Colts (8-4), winners of five straight games.

Indianapolis' other points came on a 30-yard field goal by Adam Vinatieri in the second quarter.

Phil Dawson kicked 34- and 25-yard field goals for the Browns (4-8).

Anderson was 16-of-26 for 110 yards before leaving late in the game with an apparent knee injury.
