NFL: RB Harrison leads Browns to 3rd straight win, 23-9 over Raiders

CLEVELAND � Eric Mangini has given Cleveland�s new boss more to chew on.
Jerome Harrison had 148 yards rushing and the Browns won their third straight, 23-9 over the Oakland Raiders on Sunday, extending a surprising streak that Mangini can use to strengthen his case to Mike Holmgren that he deserves to remain Cleveland�s coach.
With consecutive wins over Pittsburgh, Kansas City and Oakland, the Browns (4-11) have their first three-game winning streak since 2007 and only their third since 1999. Holmgren, who is expected to be introduced as Cleveland�s team president this week, may have to factor Cleveland�s late-season surge into whether he retains Mangini, once given little chance of staying after a 1-11 start.
