New QB Weeden is solid as Browns beat Packers EXHIBITION ROUNDUP

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden showed improvement in his second preseason game, avoiding major mistakes as the Cleveland Browns beat the Green Bay Packers 35-10 at Lambeau Field on Thursday night.

Browns kicker Phil Dawson hit three field goals, including a pair from 50-plus yards. Dawson missed a 56-yarder just before halftime for Cleveland.

Rodgers threw a 20-yard touchdown to Jordy Nelson on his first series for the Packers.

Andy Dalton threw for 125 yards and a touchdown as the Bengals defeated the host Falcons.

Matt Ryan was sharp in the losing effort.

The Falcons starting quarterback connected on 18 of 31 passes for 174 yards and a touchdown.

A.J. Green pulled in two passes for 59 yards and a touchdown for the Bengals.
