QB Change: Sometimes it can give a team a spark, but that was not the case for the Browns when they had to go to backup Cody Kessler for part of the second half after starter DeShone Kizer went out with a rib injury. Kessler played seven snaps, and the offense had a net of minus 11 yards. He was sacked three times, completed one of three passes for five yards, and the Browns had a run for four yards. That gave the Lions a chance to take command. – Mike O’Hara
Coming on strong: The Lions appear to really have something to work with in second-year defensive end Anthony Zettel.
