MIAMI GARDENS, Fla.: Browns coach Hue Jackson nearly masterminded a coup.
With nine starters injured and sitting out, the Browns pieced together an attack featuring rookie Cody Kessler and wide receiver Terrelle Pryor at quarterback and had a chance to defeat the Miami Dolphins in their home opener Sunday at the renovated Hard Rock Stadium.
But new Browns kicker Cody Parkey missed a would-be, game-winning field goal from 46 yards as time expired in regulation. The Browns were then defeated 30-24 in overtime when running back Jay Ajayi bolted around the left side for an 11-yard touchdown with 8:26 left.
