Aidan Hutchinson terrorizes Browns backfield, seals Lions win with strip sack
Lions edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson looks back to his normal, dominant self after breaking his leg last season. He made his mark for the Lions in a win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, recording four total tackles, two sacks, a forced fumble and four quarterback hits.
Dan Campbell gave him a game ball for his efforts.
To the surprise of absolutely no one, Hutchinson is one of the highest-graded pass rushers (90.3, third among 116 edge defenders) on Pro Football Focus.
On the other side of the ball, center Graham Glasgow was part of a Detroit offensive line that helped the team rush for 109 yards and a touchdown, plus no sacks allowed for the third straight game.
