Coming off their season-sweeping road win over the Ravens, the Browns went home for a Week 12 duel with the Houston Texans. In the first quarter, Cleveland trailed early as Texans QB Matt Schaub completed a 17-yard TD pass to WR Kevin Walter for the only score of the period. In the second quarter, the Browns answered with QB Derek Anderson completing a 19-yard TD pass to WR Braylon Edwards. However, Houston would retake the lead as kicker Kris Brown managed to get a 41-yard field goal. Fortunately, Cleveland regained the lead with Anderson completing a 7-yard TD pass to TE Kellen Winslow. In the third quarter, the Browns added onto their lead as kicker Phil Dawson getting a 25-yard field goal for the only score of the period. In the fourth quarter, Cleveland pulled away with Dawson nailing a 27-yard field goal, along with RB Jamal Lewis getting a 1-yard TD run. The Texans' only response would be Schaub's 6-yard TD pass to TE Owen Daniels. With the win, the Browns improved to 7-4. This would also be the first time since 1994 that Cleveland had won five-straight home games. For Braylon Edwards (4 receptions for 57&#160;yards and 1 touchdown), who had 11 touchdown receptions on the year after this game, it would be the most by a Browns receiver since Gary Collins had 11 in 1963. For Derek Anderson (24/35 for 253&#160;yards with 2 touchdowns and 1 interception), his 22 touchdown passes (up to this point in the year) is the best by a Browns quarterback since Bernie Kosar had 22 in 1987. For the month of November, Josh Cribbs was named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Month (for the second time in the season), due in large to his spectacular returns in the Pittsburgh game. Additionally, Joe Thomas was named the AFC Offensive Rookie of the Month for his continuing improvement anchoring Cleveland's offensive line, as evidenced by the increased production of Jamal Lewis and the rarity of Derek Anderson being sacked.
