Dome lights, big vibes, and the Lions kept the grill hot. Cleveland struck first behind rookie rumble-king Quinshon Judkins (21 carries, 82 yards, TD), capping a 13-play, 88-yard tone-setter. But Detroit didn’t blink. Jahmyr Gibbs (15 for 91 and a score) answered, and by halftime the Lions had stacked a Jake Bates 58-yarder on the buzzer to go up 20-7. Final tally in Ford Field: Detroit 34, Cleveland 10 — and yes, that’s the Lions’ third straight dub. (espn.com)
From there it was the familiar Motor City mixtape: Jared Goff dealing on schedule and leaning on his security blanket, Amon-Ra St. Brown (7 catches, 70 yards, 2 TD). The Sun God won in the red zone twice, first off a short field created by the defense, then on the dagger drive late. Gibbs kept the chains humming with chunk runs, and Bates’ long boot before the break felt like a momentum tax the Browns couldn’t pay.
Cleveland had a window after halftime — a Denzel Ward pick helped them cash a field goal — but the special teams swing was savage. Kalif Raymond flipped the game script with a house call, a 65-yard punt-return touchdown that blew the dome doors wide open. And when Detroit needed heat, Aidan Hutchinson (2 sacks, fourth-quarter strip-sack) turned up the thermostat, setting the table for St. Brown’s second score and the knockout.
Bright spots for the Browns? Joe Flacco (16/34, 184 yards) found Isaiah Bond (3 for 58) for a couple of chunkers, and Judkins ran hard all afternoon. But turnovers and third downs were a grind, and Detroit’s stars did star things. Big Dill of the Game: Amon-Ra St. Brown — 7 grabs, 70 yards, 2 TD, all vibes. That’s a wrap from Big Dill Sports — where ballin’ is a big dill. Catch you next time. (espn.com)
