Detroit moved to 3-1 behind a bruising defensive effort that stifled Cleveland and a timely turnover that flipped momentum. Kerby Joseph’s interception against Joe Flacco sparked the tide and set up a decisive finish, while Kalif Raymond’s 65-yard punt return TD punctuated a special-teams resurgence. Cleveland never recovered after the early pick, as Detroit built a comfortable 34-10 win with disciplined coverage and improved backline play.

Joseph’s pick erased a promising Browns opening in which Flacco started perfect before the turnover changed the flow. Raymond’s return provided a critical spark and showcased Detroit’s revamped return game under Dave Fipp. The Browns’ offense stalled after the interception, with Quinshon Judkins and Cedric Tillman held in check and the run game stymied by the Lions’ limits, sealing a one-sided result that keeps Detroit rolling.

In a game defined by field-position battles, Detroit emerged with momentum swings that favored their defense and special teams. Cleveland’s inconsistencies on offense, especially after the INT, exposed a unit still finding rhythm, while Detroit tapped into playmaking at multiple phases to secure the victory.

Grant Delpit could elevate Cleveland's secondary into a top unit as he takes on greater leadership in Jim Schwartz's defense, potentially topping a Pro Bowl threshold in year five after remaining in the mix as a Pro Bowl alternate in 2023.

Corey Bojorquez led the league in punts and punting yards in 2024 and, as a Browns captain, has a real Case to be named this season if he sustains similar production and field-position control.

With Martin Emerson Jr. out, Greg Newsome II shifts to outside corner opposite Denzel Ward, boosting his plate appearance and free-agent value in 2026 as his play could push him into the Pro Bowl conversation.

The Cleveland Browns showcased their special teams prowess in the 2025 preseason, seizing an early opportunity when the Carolina Panthers' rookie, Trevor Etienne, muffed a punt. Punter Corey Bojorquez delivered a booming kick that led to the turnover, which the Browns swiftly capitalized on, thanks to the strong arm of quarterback Shedeur Sanders. This early momentum reflects the Browns' commitment to excellence in all areas of the game, highlighting the significance of special teams in shaping outcomes.
