The Cleveland Browns have secured their first turnover of the day with a pick-six against the Philadelphia Eagles. The third-quarter interception was thrown by former Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson and picked off by linebacker K.J. Henry, who returned it 45 yards for a defensive touchdown.
The turnover came on a broken passing attempt caused by Browns defensive end Julian Okwara. Okwara’s hit on Thompson-Robinson forced the ball into the air, where Henry was able to secure the interception. Okwara has been a standout in the Browns’ preseason, first making an impression with two sacks in the opener against the Carolina Panthers. This latest forced turnover is another reason he could have a legitimate chance to make the 53-man roster.
The Browns’ pick-six gave them a 19-13 lead in the third quarter. Thompson-Robinson’s day appears to be over, as the Eagles will now turn to rookie quarterback Kyle McCord. The Browns’ defense has been sharp and will need to maintain that level of play in order to secure the win.
