The Browns opened the scoring in the first quarter with a 4-yard touchdown run by Ahmani Marshall, capping a 13-play, 63-yard drive. However, a mishandled snap led to a missed extra point, putting Cleveland up 6-0. The Eagles responded early in the second quarter when rookie safety Andrew Mukuba intercepted Dillon Gabriel and returned it 75 yards for a touchdown—one of the game’s most impactful plays—giving Philadelphia a 7-6 lead after Jake Elliott’s extra point.
Cleveland regained the lead with a 46-yard field goal from Dustin Hopkins, but the Eagles answered with a 9-yard touchdown pass from Kyle McCord to Ainias Smith. Philadelphia’s two-point attempt failed, making it 13-9. Before halftime, the Browns narrowed the gap with a 49-yard field goal by Andre Szmyt, sending the teams into the break with the Eagles up 13-12.
The Browns’ defense took charge in the third quarter. KJ Henry intercepted a tipped pass and returned it 45 yards for a touchdown, with Szmyt’s extra point extending the Browns’ advantage to 19-13.
