Cleveland didn’t just beat the weather — they beat the Dolphins down, 31–6, on a wind‑whipped, rain‑soaked Sunday by the Lake. The Dawg Pound turned into a slip‑n‑slide, and the Browns leaned straight into the muck: ground game, field position, and a defense that smelled takeaways from the coin toss. After a week of noise about their sputtering offense and Kevin Stefanski’s play‑calling, this was Cleveland’s most complete showing of 2025, and the elements were exactly as nasty as forecast.

The script flipped in the second quarter. Down 3–0, Miami popped a big one — De’Von Achane: 13 rush for 82 yards, highlighted by a 46‑yard burst — to set up a tying field goal. Then Cleveland hit the gas. Quinshon Judkins ripped a 46‑yard house call, the Browns pounced on a kickoff miscue, and Judkins punched in another goal‑line score for a 17–3 surge. Miami snuck a late kick to make it 17–6 at the break, but the momentum had already shifted to the home sideline.
The haymaker landed eight seconds into the third: Tyson Campbell’s 34‑yard pick‑six put Cleveland up 24–6 and sent the Dawg Pound into a towel‑twirling frenzy. From there, the defense circled the fins — more thefts by Rayshawn Jenkins and Ronnie Hickman — and the offense stayed mistake‑free behind Dillon Gabriel (13/18, 116 yards) and chain‑moving work from Harold Fannin Jr. (4 for 36). After Jenkins’ pick set the table at the 2, Judkins capped his day with a third touchdown to ice it at 31–6. Even when Miami turned to Quinn Ewers for a late spark — including a 40‑yard strike to Dee Eskridge — Cleveland’s rush closed the door, and the punts kept flying sideways in that lakefront gust.
Big Dill of the Game: Quinshon Judkins — 25 carries, 84 yards, 3 TD, plus the momentum‑swinging 46‑yarder that broke this thing open. Cleveland fed the rookie, the rookie fed the scoreboard, and that’s a recipe even the rain couldn’t water down. I’m Dillon “Big Dill” Smith — where ballin’ is a big dill — catch you next time for another heaping helping of gridiron goodness.
