After a slow start in the first quarter, the Browns took advantage of a short field thanks to a muffed punt and scored a touchdown. Shedeur Sanders, on the first play of the second quarter, found Kaden Davis in the back of the endzone on a threaded throw through traffic for a touchdown. This is the first of many, at least we hope.

Beyond Friday’s great team win, Cleveland’s first preseason game brought plenty of exciting takeaways and observations.

Inside linebackers Trevin Wallace and Christian Rozeboom will benefit from Carolina's upgrades on the defensive line. Wallace, for example, was able to collect a run stop in the first quarter when the interior front swallowed up double teams to help free the B-gap.
