		<description><![CDATA[With the Browns losing by ten at home against the Texans, quarterback Brady Quinn is out and Derek Anderson is in.
Anderson&#8217;s return didn&#8217;t do much to erase the deficit; the Browns went three and out.
Like Donovan McNabb of the Eagles, Quinn completed eight of 18 passes, with two picks.
