Jamal Lewis sets rushing record

September 14, 2003
Jamal Lewis mentioned setting the NFL rushing record against Cleveland, then ran through the Browns for 295 yards in Baltimore's 33-13 victory at home Sunday.

Earlier in the week, Lewis told Browns linebacker Andra Davis he might smash Corey Dillon's 278-yard mark. With touchdowns bursts of 82 and 63 yards, he did just that, breaking the record with a 3-yard run with 6:55 left.

``Andra told me he wanted me to get the ball 30 times,'' Lewis said. ``I told him if I get the ball 30 times it's going to be a career day.

``I'm not going to say I predicted it. It was lucky.''

Lewis had 100 yards by his second carry and was at 180 yards by halftime. He carried 30 times, averaging a whopping 9.8 yards per carry, as Cleveland fell to 0-2.

Last October, he shredded Cleveland for 187 yards.

Ed Reed returned an interception 54 yards for a touchdown on the game's final play, and long-range kicker Wade Richey made a Ravens-record 56-yardfield goal.
