No garnish, no spotlight: How Browns rookie Mason Graham is the ‘electrolyte martini’ of Cleveland’s defense
Mason Graham would rather blend in than stand out — but the Browns rookie defensive tackle is already shaking things up on and off the field, electrolyte martinis and all.

How Browns fell victim to Ravens fake tush push in closing minutes of Week 11 loss
The Ravens’ late “Hurricane” fake-sneak call broke open a tight game, stunning a Browns defense that had held strong most of the night.

My immediate postgame reax as #Browns fall to Ravens: Shedeur Sanders arrives for Browns, but Myles Garrett and Carson Schwesinger continue to make cases for league awards:

Even with Sanders making his long-anticipated debut, Cleveland’s defensive anchors delivered the moments that defined Sunday night.

Play of the year for Jerry Jeudy. #Browns
November 17, 2025 at 12:19 AM
Mike Hall got the hand on that pass, Carson Schwesinger got the pick. #Browns defense gets the ball back after Shedeur Sanders threw his INT.
November 16, 2025 at 11:25 PM
Dillon Gabriel has officially been ruled out with a head injury. Shedeur Sanders coming in for his second #Browns drive.
November 16, 2025 at 11:21 PM
This is unreal. Four sacks for Myles Garrett #Browns
November 16, 2025 at 11:04 PM
Prime example of how Myles Garrett won't give up on a play. Seemed out of it, kept going, Lamar held on too long. That's his third sack today #Browns.
November 16, 2025 at 10:45 PM
First time Flowers is targeted and it's a 45-yard catch that helps set up a 1-yard TD for Derrick Henry. CLE 13, BAL 10, 4:17 left in the half.
November 16, 2025 at 10:26 PM
First INT for Devin Bush since 2019. #Browns
November 16, 2025 at 10:17 PM
In Baltimore in Week 2, Devin Bush had a potential pick go through his hands.

He makes up for it in the rematch. Pick-six, and the #Browns lead the Ravens 13-3.

Myles Garrett, my lord
November 16, 2025 at 10:15 PM
#Browns get the ball at the Baltimore 6 and can't get a TD ... a Szmyt 24-yard field goal gives Cleveland a 6-3 edge with 8:44 left in the second quarter.
November 16, 2025 at 10:12 PM
Grant Delpit was absolutely incensed after those two return touchdowns last week. #Browns safety shows why he's playing at an All-Pro level.
November 16, 2025 at 10:07 PM
Schwesinger has five tackles already #Browns
November 16, 2025 at 10:01 PM
#Browns tie it up 3-3 at the end of the 1Q on a 30-yd FG by Andre Szmyt.
November 16, 2025 at 9:52 PM
That was a season-long run for #Browns rookie Dylan Sampson of 19 yards, per broadcast.
November 16, 2025 at 9:50 PM
#Browns Myles Garrett with his 12th sack of the year as the Ravens faced third-and-goal. Cleveland held Baltimore to a FG after the Ravens got to the Browns' 3-yard line.
November 16, 2025 at 9:46 PM
Carson Schwesinger solid on that first drive. The rookie continues to impressed. Saved a TD by taking down Jackson on a third-and-9 run.
November 16, 2025 at 9:46 PM
First round of boos from home crowd today as #Browns flagged for illegal formation on fourth-and-1 on their first drive.

In a season full of letdowns, the #Browns found one rookie who won’t quit.

My column on Carson Schwesinger being a bright spot in a bad year:

A 36-second swing on kickoff and punt coverage set the tone as the Browns again unraveled in the hidden-yardage game.
