Although the Lions were able to pull out a 34-27 win over the Browns, Coach Fanko did not seem too happy about the defensive effort. Detroit gave up over 200 yards rushing in the game and over 400 yards of total offense. "We can't give up yards like that on the ground and expect to be successful", coach Fanko said after the game.

On offense the Lions unleashed an aerial assault throwing over 400 yards between Stafford, Hill, and Moore. The first team offense scored a couple TDs both passes from Matthew Stafford. "I thought it was a good start for our unit and something to build on for the Baltimore game next week" QB Matthew Stafford had to say about his preseason start. Coach Fanko also said that he would like to get Kevin Smith involved more in the next game after he only received one carry. At this point the Lions backfield seems to be wide open with Leshore and Bell competing for more carries.
