Benjamin: 'Performance against Bills means a lot'

Travis Benjamin has said that his performance against the Buffalo Bills "means a lot" to him.

The wide receiver broke the Cleveland Browns' franchise record for most punt return yards in a single game, gaining 179 yards during the 37-24 win.

The 23-year-old told the team's website: "It means a lot, knowing that I can come in and give my team great field position and make that play, be a game-changer to put my team up on top.

"It was a wild punt return for us. We knew that he just wanted to kick the ball out of bounds, and kick it away from me. I knew once I caught the ball that I had great special teams blocks and they were going to get me a crease.

"The first time, I let him push me out of bounds, so I came to the sidelines thinking I can't let the punter tackle me. The second time, when I came to him, I just cut back inside and I knew he missed the tackle."

The win leaves the Browns at the top of the AFC North.
