Cleveland — The fourth preseason game is often an ugly affair and Thursday's matchup between the Detroit Lions and Cleveland Browns proved not to be an exception. The two teams combined for more punts and penalties than points in the first half before the Browns ultimately came away with a 20-16 victory.
The loss dropped the Lions to 0-4 on the preseason. They'll open the regular season with a road trip to Arizona to battle the Cardinals on Sunday, Sept. 8.
"The big challenge for us, like every NFL team right now, is to push from this point on," Lions coach Matt Patricia said.
