By The AMoclatcd Press CLEVELAND Until they win the Super Bowl, this was as good as it can get for the Cleveland Browns and their fans, Beating Battimore never will feel quite the same. Six years after Art Modell moved his team, Cleveland finally thumbed its nose at Baltimore's owner as the Browns topped the Super Bowl champion Ravens 24-14 Sunday "This was huge," said quarterback Tim Couch. "It feels so good to get this win for the fans of Cleveland who have seen their team leave town, and then go win the Super Bowl.

This was for them." Couch threw two quick touchdown passes in the third quarter as the Browns (4-2) beat Baltimore for the first time since returning to the league in 1999. The Browns have been saying all season that they're a deferent team under first-year coach Butch Davis, and now there's no doubt they are. "We've got confidence, and we believe," said safety Percy Ellsworth. "If you beat Baltimore, who should you be scared of?" Cleveland's defense forced three turnovers, had seven sacks and dominated the reeling Ravens (3-3), who are a shell of the team whose defense dominated the NFL last season. Matt Stover set an NFL record by making a field goal for the 32nd straight game but that was the lone bright spot for Baltimore, whose ferocious defense has given up 55 points in two weeks.

"We're 3-3 and if we don't take it seriously, we can be 8-8," said safety Rod Woodson. "We've got to pick it up now." The Browns were outscored 116-26 while going 0-4 since '99 against the Ravens and Modell, who broke Cleveland's collective heart when he moved his franchise following the 1995 season. And although Modell didn't come to Cleveland to flaunt his Super Bowl ring, that didn't stop Browns fans from enjoying their first on-field success against the former owner. "I want to beat everybody's team," Browns owner Al Lerner said. "We beat the Super Bowl champions it just so happens that it's Baltimore.

I love it." Browns fans were more excited. Most of the crowd of 72,828 stayed through a driving rain in the fourth quarter to soak in every second and jeer the Ravens off the field. A few feet away, Davis pumped his fist as he sprinted to Cleveland's locker room. Couch was ll-of-18 for 149 yards and rookie James Jackson rushed for 77 yards and one TD for the Browns, whose biggest win in three years will be followed by an off week. Couch threw a 29-yard TD pass to Kevin Johnson, and a 36- yarder to rookie Quincy Morgan in a span of 1 minute, 54 seconds in the third quarter as the Browns opened a 24-6 lead.

Clearly, the Browns are a much different team under Davis than the one which went 5-27 in two seasons. "Butch is doing a great job," Ravens coach Brian Blllick said. "They have a certain attitude. The fans are pumped up. They are obviously a better team.

They earned it." The Associated Press Browns wide receiver Kevin Johnson hauls in a 28 yards touchdown pass In front of Ravens cornerback Duane Starks In the third quarter Sunday In Cleveland.

Vikings 35, Packers 13 MINNEAPOLIS Brett Favre threw for only 169 yards against Minnesota's poor pass defense a week after shredding one of the NFL's top Ds, while counterpart Daunte Culpepper threw for one score and ran for another to lead the Vikings. It was the Packers' worst regular season loss in eight years. Minnesota (3-3), which entered the game ranked 29th in the league against the pass, won for the eighth time in its last 10 home games against Green Bay (4-2). Favre completed 21 of 35 passes with two touchdowns and an interception.

The Bucs (2-3) scored on Johnson's 5-yard pass to Frank Murphy with 28 seconds remaining, then appeared to recover an onside kick at their 43 to give themselves another chance to come back. The officials ruled that Tampa Bay's Brian Kelly leaped into the air and came down with the ball before it squirted loose when he landed on the ground, The ruling was reversed after it was reviewed on instant replay and the Steelers (4-1) rani out the clock to stay atop the AFC Central standings with their best start since 1996.
