Detroit – The Detroit Lions secured a commanding victory over the Cleveland Browns with a score of 34-10 on September 28, 2025. The win marks a significant moment for the Lions, advancing their season record to 3-1, while the Browns dropped to a disappointing 1-3.
The game unfolded dramatically, especially within the first half. After the Browns jumped to an early lead, scoring a touchdown on their opening drive, the Lions responded with 20 consecutive points before halftime. The Browns’ quarterback, Joe Flacco, initially threw for 70 yards on the opening drive, completing all five passes, culminating in a touchdown. However, following this promising start, Flacco faltered significantly, completing only five of ten passes for 40 yards, including two costly interceptions that led directly to ten points for Detroit.
During the first half, the Lions capitalized on Flacco’s mistakes. After an interception, Lions kicker Jake Bates converted a 48-yard field goal, and later, he extended his scoring with a remarkable 58-yard field goal. Flacco’s struggles continued when he attempted a pass intended for receiver Jerry Jeudy but ended up throwing his second interception, resulting in a 5-yard touchdown pass from Lions quarterback Jared Goff to Amon-Ra St. Brown. St. Brown emerged as a standout player, catching two touchdown passes from Goff and finishing the game with seven receptions for 70 yards.
The Lions controlled much of the gameplay after the first quarter. Jahmyr Gibbs added to the score for Detroit with an 8-yard rushing touchdown after the team made a quick 65-yard drive in just five plays. The halftime score stood at 20-7 in favor of the Lions.
The second half showcased the Lions’ defense, which induced three turnovers overall, highlighting their ability to capitalize on the Browns’ mistakes. Flacco’s performance became a significant point of concern, especially as the Browns attempted to run a QB sneak twice for a touchdown but failed both times, further frustrating their scoring opportunities. In an effort to bolster their short-yardage game, the Browns had drafted running back Quinshon Judkins, who later scored on a fourth-down play in the second half.
Judkins finished the game with a total of 30 rushing yards on nine carries but could not help alleviate the overall struggles faced by Cleveland’s offense. The Browns’ defense, while showing some resilience, could not hold off the Lions’ advancing momentum as they faced a barrage of effective plays and strategic execution from Detroit’s offense.
As the contest wrapped up, Lions quarterback Jared Goff continued to demonstrate growth and skill in his fifth season with the team, effectively leading his squad to victory with crucial plays and well-timed passes. The disparity in performance between him and Flacco was evident, as Goff was able to maintain composure under pressure, while Flacco’s errors cost the Browns dearly.
This game served not just as a record booster for the Lions, but also as a clear reminder of the challenges facing the Browns as they navigate this season. With both teams looking to make the most of their upcoming matches, the Lions appear to have found their rhythm, while the Browns must reassess their strategies moving forward.
