Half-Time Report: Chris Ivory, Eric Decker give New York Jets lead against Cleveland Browns

The New York Jets are leading the Cleveland Browns 14-10 at half time of their season opener at the MetLife Stadium.

A scoreless opening quarter was followed by a more lively second. The Browns suffered a large setback when Josh McCown fumbled the ball in the opposition endzone, with Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie recovering the ball as a result.

It was the Browns who eventually went ahead, however, when Johnny Manziel found Travis Benjamin for a touchdown and Travis Coons converted the follow-up kick.

Chris Ivory then levelled things up for the Jets with a 9-yard run in as Nick Folk added the extra point.

The Jets then went ahead with 0:26 left on the clock in the second as Ryan Fitzpatrick found Eric Decker from 16-yards for the run in, with Folk again converting the extra point to put the hosts ahead at the break.
