Browns Pursue Pettine – NFL Roundup For Jan. 22nd

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Browns apparently have renewed interest in Buffalo defensive coordinator Mike Pettine (PET'-ihn) after Denver offensive coordinator Adam Gase told the Browns he wouldn't interview for their head coaching job after the Super Bowl.

A person familiar with the Browns' plans tells The Associated Press the Browns conducted a second interview with Pettine on Tuesday night after meeting with him last week. The Bills just finished second in the NFL with a franchise-record 57 sacks in their first season with Pettine running the defense.

UNDATED (AP)— — NFL commissioner Roger Goodell (guh-DEHL') is concerned that extra-point kicks after touchdowns are getting too automatic, so he's thinking about possible changes to add some excitement to the game.

Goodell suggests perhaps making a touchdown worth seven points, with teams having the option to run a play for another point. But failing on that play would cost them a point.

The success rates for extra-point kicks this season was nearly 100 percent.

UNDATED (AP) — Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez has been named to his 14th Pro Bowl as a replacement for San Francisco's Vernon Davis. Gonzalez already has announced he will retire after this season.

And Washington Redskins linebacker Brian Orakpo (oh-RAHK'-poh) is going to the Pro Bowl, replacing San Francisco 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks.
