The Lions have taken benefit of a few Joe Flacco interceptions to construct a 20-7 halftime lead over the Browns.
Safety Kerby Joseph picked off a Flacco cross on a play the place he and his receiver have been clearly not on the identical web page, as there was nobody even near the world.

That become a 48-yard area aim by Jake Bates to provide Detroit a 10-7 benefit.
Then Flacco was picked off by cornerback D.J. Reed on a sideline throw to Jerry Jeudy. While Jeudy thought he was interfered with — and will have had an argument — no flag was thrown and Reed returned the ball to the Cleveland 5-yard line.
Amon-Ra St. Brown caught a 2-yard landing to provide the Lions a 10-point lead.
The Browns began effectively with a Quinshon Judkins 1-yard landing to cap the membership’s first drive that featured six first downs. But since then, Cleveland has managed to realize simply two first downs.
Detroit has 10 first downs, gaining 164 yards within the first half. Cleveland has 132. Both groups are 2-of-7 on third down.

Jared Goff has accomplished 12-of-18 passes for 118 yards with a landing. St. Brown has 5 catches for 43 yards with a TD. Gibbs has 41 yards on 5 carries with a landing.
Flacco is 10-of-15 for 110 yards with two picks. Judkins has 30 yards on 9 carries whereas Jeudy has three receptions for 48 yards.
On the damage entrance, Joseph is questionable to return with a knee concern.
The Browns will obtain the second-half kickoff.
