Eric Mangini's difficult season continues.

Sunday the Browns had a game won about six different times yet still managed to lose after giving up a touchdown and extra point on untimed plays after time had expired.

A pass interference penalty on Hank Poteat set up the untimed downs, but Mangini's in-game decisions didn't help the cause.

First, Mangini called for a pass on third-and-5 on the first play after the two-minute warning. Detroit was out of timeouts, so just running the clock seemed a much wiser decision.

Then, as Detroit lined up to run the untimed down with backup quarterback Daunte Culpepper under center, Mangini called timeout from the sidelines.

He wanted to make sure his defense was set, but the timeout allowed the Lions to put starter...
