Around the League editor Gregg Rosenthal has his takeaways from the game:
From Around the League:
» Lessons from Friday's preseason games
» Around the League's Browns correspondent Marc Sessler says Browns rookie Brandon Weedenlooked a lot better than his ugly box score indicated. Weeden looked calm and showed a strong arm. We'll take Sessler's word for it.
» Colt McCoy did what Colt McCoy does. He moved the ball, gave the team some energy, but had no points to show for it.
» Cleveland's starters looked sloppy overall. They had eight first-half penalties and the Lions pass rush forced two turnovers.
» The first Browns touchdown of the year was scored by a man named Brad Smelley.
