On September 25, 2025, the Cleveland Browns and Detroit Lions delivered a pair of surprising victories that have shaken up the NFL standings.
The Browns, who were winless coming into Week 3, pulled off a massive upset by defeating the previously undefeated Green Bay Packers. Cleveland was held scoreless until the final four minutes of the game, but a late field goal, an interception, and a touchdown allowed them to tie the game in just one minute. As the Packers were lining up for a potential game-winning field goal, the Browns blocked the kick and scored a game-winner of their own, clinching their first win of the season.
Meanwhile, the Lions flexed their offensive muscle on Monday Night Football, taking down the reigning AFC North champion Baltimore Ravens. Detroit's rushing attack amassed 224 yards, while their defense sacked Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson seven times. With this victory, the Lions have now won two straight games and sit atop the NFC North standings.
These unexpected results have shaken up the NFL landscape. The Browns' win has them tied with the Ravens at 1-2, just a game behind the 2-1 Bengals and Steelers in the AFC North. The Lions, on the other hand, have emerged as an early contender in the NFC North, challenging the Packers for divisional supremacy.
