The Cleveland Browns got a major boost from star defensive lineman Myles Garrett and veteran safety Rodney McLeod on Sunday when they faced the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6.
Late in the second quarter, Philadelphia attempted a 57-yard field goal that would have extended their lead to 10 points before halftime.
Garrett managed to block the kick, and McLeod recovered the live ball and returned it for a rare special teams touchdown.
When Browns kicker Dustin Hopkins nailed the extra point attempt after McLeod’s score, Cleveland drew even with the Eagles.
Check out this clip of the outstanding effort by Garrett and McLeod, which was posted to Twitter by the Browns’ official account:
