Browns 26, Packers 24
In Green Bay, Wisconson, Trent Dilfer won for the first time in nine trips to Lambeau Field, giving new coach Romeo Crennel his first win for Cleveland (1-1). Dilfer threw an 80-yard touchdown pass to Braylon Edwards and a game-icing 62-yarder to Steve Heiden with 1:50 remaining.
Brett Favre of Green Bay (0-2) broke John Elway's single-stadium NFL touchdown record of 180 on a 4-yard toss to Tony Fisher with 4 seconds left.
Favre joined Dan Marino and John Elway in the NFL 50,000-yard passing club on Sunday, and then the Green Bay Packers quarterback broke Elway's single-stadium touchdown record. But it was all in a losing cause, a 26-24 loss to the Cleveland Browns.
Favre started the day 65 yards shy of the 50,000-yard mark, and reached the milestone on a 17-yard pass to running back Ahman Green in the second quarter at Lambeau Field.
Marino holds the NFL record with 61,361 yards passing and Elway is second at 51,475. Favre has 50,277.
Favre, in his 14th season as a starter, threw three TD passes on Sunday, giving him 181 at Lambeau.
Elway threw 180 touchdown passes at Mile High Stadium. Favre also had 17 at old Milwaukee County Stadium, where he played nine times before the Packers abandoned the baseball stadium in the mid-1990s and moved all their games to Green Bay.
Marino threw 155 TD passes at Pro Player/Joe Robbie Stadium and 68 at the Orange Bowl.
