Overview

  • Hutchinson logged two sacks, two tackles for loss, four quarterback hits and a forced fumble in a 34-10 win over the Browns, with a second strip ruled off by a penalty away from the play.
  • He briefly stayed down after a hard hit but said he only had the wind knocked out of him and returned without issue.
  • Per Lions PR, he now has 32 career sacks, tying Ezekiel Ansah for the most by a Detroit player through a fourth season.
  • Pro Football Focus gave Hutchinson a 92.6 overall grade and a 94.2 pass-rushing grade for Week 4 after seven pressures on Joe Flacco.
  • Dan Campbell awarded Hutchinson a game ball as Detroit’s defense produced three takeaways and the Lions moved to a three-game win streak, entering Week 5 at Cincinnati as roughly 9.5-point road favorites.
