With 2:01 remaining in the opening quarter, Browns running back Anthony Schwartz carried the ball before it was knocked out of his possession by New York’s Jamien Sherwood. Guidry hauled in the pigskin and gave the Jets possession of the ball at the Cleveland 31-yard line.

New York scored a field goal on its next drive and took a 6-0 lead into the second quarter.
