CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Browns' first victory of the season is also a win for the Greater Cleveland Food Bank. Some fans had planned to hold what was being billed as a "Perfect Season Parade" to make fun of the team. More than $10,000 had been donated to a fund to help pay for expenses such as security and bathroom facilities for the parade. But because the Browns beat the San Diego Charges on Saturday for their first win of the season, the money will now be donated to the food bank.
