Philadelphia sat several vital starters and contributors, and the opening drive started as a disaster, with rookie quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson leading Cleveland on a 12-play, 75-yard drive that ate up 5:59 of the clock.
Thompson-Robinson was 5-7 on the drive, but it ended when middle linebacker Nakobe Dean caused Browns’ running back John Kelly to fumble.

Dean shook off a personal foul penalty before that play and already has three tackles and one forced fumble on the night.
