A gritty Battle of Ohio win to open 2025. In this recap we go drive-by-drive: Chase Brown’s opening TD march, tipped-ball INTs by Jordan Battle and DJ Turner II, and Evan McPherson’s go-ahead 35-yarder. We break down Joe Burrow’s quiet day (113 yards), how Myles Garrett wrecked the second half with a sack barrage, the flags that fueled Cleveland’s first TD, and key injuries (Lucas Patrick, Logan Wilson). Plus: why special teams decided it (missed PAT + 36-yd FG) and quick takeaways ahead of the Week 2 home opener vs. Jaguars.
