Defensive line makes a play

Willie Young, starting at defensive end in place of Kyle Vanden Bosch, made a key play on third down with the Browns in field-goal range. Young got to Browns QB Branden Weeden and caused a fumble, then scrambled to recover the fumble. The play not only kept the Browns off the scoreboard, but also gave the defensive line — which many are pointing to as a key to the team’s success — some early confidence.
