A good drive in the middle of the second quarter was stopped by a DeAndre Levy interception caused in large part the consistent pressure applied by Ndamukong Suh. A part of that was the running game being effective and Weeden taking early shots downfield. Pass Offense: Brandon Weeden started slow, but gradually opened things up on the medium to long throws. Disappointing that the Browns got away from the running game after the success they had going to it in the first half. The call was ineffective this time as Gordon had to battle just to get back to scrimmage. An overall solid job by the Browns’ cover units except for Johnson Bademosi getting an unsportsmanlike penalty on a fourth quarter punt that put Detroit on the 41.Ĭoaching: Norv Turner went back to the end-around in the third quarter, this time handing it to Josh Gordon. Special Teams: Nothing notable on the kick or punt returns for Cleveland. Ward for stuffing the run all day long, applying tremendous pressure.īottom line is that the Lions rushed for 92 yards in the second half and that really opened up the passing attack.
Run Defense: Reggie Bush came out of the gate hot in the third quarter as he busted loose for over 30-yards after only rushing for 18-yards in the opening half.īarkevious Mingo showed development in his run protection from the Buffalo game as he improved on containment and downed Bush for a loss in the backfield. He was buzzing everywhere breaking up passes and wrapping up receivers. Quietly, Buster Skrine was the MVP of the secondary today. Safety Tashaun Gipson had an interception in the endzone and brought it out for a nice return that resulted in zero points. Calvin Johnson was on for much of the half, but primarily as a decoy that the secondary obviously had to respect. Quarterback Matt Stafford was able to march at will as the Browns’ defense got worn down from being on the field so often. Pass Defense: Detroit’s rookie tight end Joseph Fauria was a definite force as he scored three touchdowns and exploited the size mismatch against Cleveland’s smaller defensive backs. Run Offense: For some inexplicable reason there was next to running attack in the second half following a 115 combined rushing yards during the first two quarters. An elite talent that contributed seven receptions for 126 yards.
BRANDON WEEDEN UNDERHAND THROW FULL
Receiver Josh Gordon was in full beast mode the entire afternoon.
