As the league’s leading rusher, running back Derrick Henry hadn’t fumbled all season. But he did in the first half, leading to a Browns touchdown.
On the first play of Tennessee’s second possession, Cleveland defensive lineman poked the ball out of Henry’s arms as he took a handoff up the middle. Safety Karl Joseph recovered the fumble at Tennessee’s 21-yard line, putting the Browns’ offense in good scoring position.
After the quarter break, Mayfield threw his second touchdown of the game — this one to backup offensive lineman Kendall Lamm to take a 17-0 lead.
Cleveland’s defense has started well against Henry, stuffing him on a fourth-and-1 for a turnover on downs on Tennessee’s opening possession.
