Best hurt as Lions rally late to take down Browns, 30-28

Matthew Stafford was 6-for-10 for 85 yards and a touchdown as the Detroit Lions beat the Browns, 30-28, in an preseason game in Cleveland. However, the Lions lost running back Jahvid Best due to injury. Best went to the locker room in the 1st quarter for further evaluation with the possibility that he may have had a concussion.

Cleveland's Colt McCoy threw three touchdown passes — two to tight end Evan Moore — in the first half, but the Browns blew a 15-point lead after halftime in a penalty-filled preseason game.

The Lions (2-0) trailed by 10 entering the fourth, but got a 20-yard TD pass from Drew Stanton to Jon Finley and Dave Rayner’s 48-yard field goal.

Referee Mike Carey and his officiating crew had a busy night as the teams were assessed 26 penalties for 211 yards.

Jason Hanson kicked two field goals for the Lions, who also rested several starters, including wide receiver Calvin Johnson, because of injuries.
