The Cleveland Browns desperately needed a win this week against the Detroit Lions, and they got it. With the rainy and windy conditions, Cleveland controlled much of the game until a late third quarter rally by the Lions. Ultimately, the defense took advantage of a first-time starting quarterback in Tim Boyle en route to a 13-10 victory.

And sure enough, Detroit made Cleveland pay for it. Facing a 3rd-and-8, Boyle handed the ball off to RB De'Andre Swift, who cut and sliced through the Browns' defense before bursting ahead for a 57-yard touchdown.
