Packers rally past Browns for 17-14 upset win
Green Bay erased a 14-3 half-time deficit to beat Cleveland 17-14 as Randy Wright connected on 21 of 27 passes and Phil Epps scored on a seam strike. Green Bay’s backs Gerry Ellis and Ken Davis fueled a 84-yard drive in the third quarter that changed the game. Browns coach Marty Schottenheimer said the Packers played better down the stretch and faulted his defense for failed adjustments.
