Lions Punked by Browns, Fall to 1-1 in Preseason

The Cleveland Browns hadn't scored an offensive touchdown in seven consecutive games, but they needed less than four minutes to score a touchdown against the Detroit Lions in Saturday's preseason game at Browns Stadium. The Browns, who were blanked in the final six regular-season games last year and the first preseason game this year, beat the Lions 27-10. Both teams are 1-1 in the preseason.

Detroit rookie Matthew Stafford struggled. Stafford got the start and was picked off on his first pass, and the Lions went three-and-out on the following two possessions.

Stafford finished the game 5-of-13 passes for 34 yards, no touchdowns and one interception. Stafford, who had a passer efficiency rating of 14.6, played in six possessions and did not lead a scoring drive.

The first overall pick in the draft had problems with his accuracy, missing some receivers high and throwing behind others. On one pass, he had a pump fake to Jennings, who came wide open downfield and Stafford fired a rocket several feet over Jennings' head.

Culpepper finished the game by completing 10-of-16 passes for 86 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions.
