The Cleveland Browns' defense and special teams shone in the first half against the Philadelphia Eagles, compensating for the offense's struggles. A pivotal moment came when Myles Garrett blocked a 57-yard field goal attempt by Jake Elliott, allowing Rodney McLeod Jr. to return the ball 50 yards for a touchdown, leveling the score at 10-10 by halftime.

This marked McLeod's second touchdown of the season, having previously scored on a fumble recovery against the Las Vegas Raiders. Garrett's impressive performance continues, as he is among the few players with multiple blocked field goals this season.
