The Lions defense stole the spotlight with takeaways and relentless pressure, while the offense left points on the field with miscues in the passing game.

The Detroit Lions forced three turnovers and held Cleveland to 249 yards in a 34-10 victory Sunday at Ford Field.

Kerby Joseph was injured during the Detroit Lions - Cleveland Browns Ravens game on Sunday, Sept. 28, in Week 4 of the 2025 NFL season. And after sitting out a drive, he returned to action in the third quarter.

A false start, incomplete pass, and then a handoff to RB Jerome Ford for a loss of a yard set Cleveland back to a 3rd-and-16. A short completion to Bond set up Szmyt for a 56-yard attempt to cut it to a one-score game, but he just barely missed it wide to the left.

The Detroit Lions have two players listed as questionable for their upcoming Week 4 game against the Cleveland Browns.
