Cleveland Browns Offensive Stats
Passing
Cleveland’s QB completed 11 of 20 attempts for 209 yards, 1 touchdown, and 1 interception. Despite the modest completion percentage (55%), the passing game was efficient when it connected — the Browns averaged 9.81 yards per attempt and produced the game’s biggest play, a 66-yard touchdown strike to Diontae Sampson in the fourth quarter that sealed the result.
- Completions/Attempts: 11/20
- Yards: 209
- Touchdowns: 1
- Interceptions: 1
- Passer Rating: 87.3
- Longest Pass: 66 yards (TD)
- Sacks Taken: 1
Rushing
Cleveland ran the ball 27 times for 64 yards and 2 touchdowns. The yard totals look modest but the touchdowns were the story — both came from Quinshon Judkins in the first quarter and put Cleveland firmly in control early. The Browns’ ground game focused on ball control and short-yardage execution when it mattered most.
- Attempts: 27
- Yards: 64
- Avg Per Carry: 2.37
- Touchdowns: 2
- Longest Run: 26 yards
- Redzone Attempts: 4
Receiving
Cleveland’s receivers caught 11 of 18 targets for 209 yards and 1 touchdown. The offense was efficient rather than high-volume — 19.0 yards per reception on average, anchored by Diontae Sampson’s 66-yard touchdown catch that gave the final score its definitive look. Receivers gained 146 yards after the catch, showing the Browns were hitting on quick passes and letting their playmakers work in space.
- Targets: 18
- Receptions: 11
- Yards: 209
- Avg Per Reception: 19.0
- Touchdowns: 1
- Yards After Catch: 146
- Longest Reception: 66 yards (TD)
Special Teams
Auston Szmyt converted a 53-yard field goal and all three extra points. Punt returner had an active day — 4 returns for 61 yards, including a 44-yard return that gave Cleveland favorable field position in the second half.
- Field Goals: 1/1 (53 yards)
- Extra Points: 3/3
- Punt Returns: 4 returns, 61 yards, long of 44
Las Vegas Raiders Offensive Stats
Passing
Las Vegas attempted 44 passes and completed 30 for 285 yards and 1 touchdown with no interceptions. On paper those numbers look reasonable, but the sack total tells the real story. Cleveland’s pass rush brought down the Raiders’ quarterback 10 times for 77 yards in losses. That kind of pressure turned a competent passing day into a net negative in terms of what the Raiders could build offensively.
- Completions/Attempts: 30/44
- Yards: 285
- Touchdowns: 1
- Interceptions: 0
- Passer Rating: 93.5
- Sacks Taken: 10 (for 77 yards)
- Net Passing Yards: 208
- Longest Pass: 33 yards
Rushing
Las Vegas ran 21 times for 60 yards on the ground, averaging 2.857 yards per carry with no rushing touchdowns. The run game never got traction against Cleveland’s defensive front and could not take enough pressure off the passing game to give the offense a functional balance.
- Attempts: 21
- Yards: 60
- Avg Per Carry: 2.857
- Touchdowns: 0
- Longest Run: 12 yards
Receiving
Las Vegas receivers caught 30 of 42 targets for 285 yards and 1 touchdown. Geno Smith connected with Ashton Jeanty for a 5-yard score late in the fourth quarter that provided the Raiders’ only touchdown of the game. Wide receivers generated 171 yards after the catch despite constant pressure, but the offense never found enough consistency to mount a serious challenge.
- Targets: 42
- Receptions: 30
- Yards: 285
- Avg Per Reception: 9.5
- Touchdowns: 1
- Yards After Catch: 171
- Longest Reception: 33 yards
Special Teams
Daniel Carlson made one of two field goal attempts, connecting from 41 yards and missing the other. The Raiders averaged 46.75 yards per punt across 8 attempts, with a long of 56. Kick coverage gave up 86 return yards on 3 Cleveland returns.
- Field Goals: 1/2 (41 yards made, one miss)
- Punts: 8 attempts, 46.75 avg, long of 56
Cleveland Browns Defensive Stats
Cleveland’s defense was the defining story of this game. The pass rush produced 10 sacks, 20 quarterback hits, and 13 tackles for loss — numbers that belong in a highlight reel, not a single regular-season game against a starting NFL quarterback.
- Total Tackles: 42 solo, 38 assists (80 combined)
- Sacks: 10 (for 77 yards)
- QB Hits: 20
- Tackles for Loss: 13 (for 54 yards)
- Passes Defended: 5
- Forced Fumbles: 2
- Fumble Recoveries: 1
- Interceptions: 0
- Three-and-Outs Forced: 4
- Fourth Down Stops: 2
10 sacks in a single game is an extraordinary figure. Cleveland’s defensive line completely neutralized Las Vegas’s ability to establish rhythm in the pocket, forcing the offense into three-and-outs, checkdowns, and scrambles that kept the Raiders from ever putting together a sustained drive.
Las Vegas Raiders Defensive Stats
Las Vegas produced a solid defensive effort in a losing cause. The Raiders held Cleveland to just 270 total yards and 11 first downs, forced 2 turnovers, and sacked the Browns’ quarterback once. The defense’s problem was the scoreboard — Cleveland’s two early rushing touchdowns came on drives that the Raiders simply could not stop in the red zone.
- Total Tackles: 25 solo, 21 assists (46 combined)
- Sacks: 1 (for 3 yards)
- QB Hits: 5
- Tackles for Loss: 12 (for 36 yards)
- Passes Defended: 1
- Interceptions: 1
- Forced Fumbles: 1
- Three-and-Outs Forced: 6
- Turnovers Forced: 2
