Led by quarterback Derek Anderson and running back Jamal Lewis, the Cleveland Browns beat the Cincinnati Bengals 51-45 on Sunday.

The game conjured up memories of the 2004 encounter when the Bengals emerged with a 58-48 victory in the second-highest scoring game in NFL history.

This time, the teams combined for 1,085 total yards in a wild shootout. Cleveland (1-1), who traded Week One starter Charlie Frye to Seattle on Tuesday, racked up 554 yards.

With rookie Brady Quinn waiting in the wings, Anderson became the fifth quarterback in Cleveland franchise history to throw five touchdown passes in a game.

Wide receivers Braylon Edwards and Joe Jurevicius each caught two.

Edwards saved Cleveland with a critical eight-yard catch on 3rd-and-8 at the Browns 44 with 3:11 left. He finished with eight catches for 146 yards.

Anderson also connected six times with Kellen Winslow for 100 yards and one score.

Anderson completed 20-of-33 passes for 328 yards.

In the meantime, Lewis rushed for 215 yards and one score on 28 carries.

It marked his ninth 100-yard rushing game against the Bengals and his 31st career.

Carson Palmer kept Cincinnati in the game, throwing a franchise record six scoring passes on 33-of-50 for 401 yards.

His second interception, however, with 23 seconds to play, ended the Bengals' comeback bid.

Cleveland's Leigh Bodden, playing with a sore groin, made the pick at the Browns 27.

It was just the third time in NFL history that two teams combined for 11 or more touchdown passes.
