Overview

• Joe Flacco went 16-of-34 for 184 yards with two interceptions and a lost fumble before rookie Dillon Gabriel entered late in garbage time.
• Kalif Raymond’s 65-yard punt-return touchdown followed consecutive Browns drops and broke the game open after an earlier missed 56-yard field goal by Andre Szmyt.
• Detroit’s defense pressured throughout, with Aidan Hutchinson producing two sacks and a forced fumble as Cleveland averaged just 3.8 yards per play after an opening 88-yard TD drive.
• The Browns’ injury-thinned tackles (Dawand Jones out for the season and Jack Conklin limited) contributed to nine hits and three sacks on Flacco.
• Cleveland’s defense generated chances, including a Denzel Ward interception and solid run containment, but it could not offset persistent offensive miscues, keeping the quarterback decision unresolved before the Vikings game in London.
