Matthew Stafford needs more time to get comfortable: The No. 1 overall draft pick struggled in his first preseason start for the Lions. He threw an interception on his first pass, later overthrew several of his receivers and then fumbled a handoff to RB Kevin Smith. Stafford finished with 34 yards on 5-of-13 passing in six series.
Joshua Cribbs is still a game-changer: The Browns' speedy, elusive return man started the game with a bang, taking the opening kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown. Unfortunately for Cleveland, the play was nullified because of a penalty. But later in the first quarter, Cribbs ran back a punt 84 yards for a touchdown that gave the Browns a 17-0 lead.
