Browns Make Historic Quinshon Judkins Announcement After 3-TD Game
Cleveland Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins earned his place in the history books after a dominant performance during a 31-6 win against the Miami Dolphins.
Judkins rumbled for 84 yards and three touchdowns against the Dolphins, serving as the engine for the Browns’ offense. Two of those touchdowns came on wildcat runs inside the 10-yard line, with Judkins taking the direct snap.
The Browns recognized Judkins’ performance after the win on social media, recognizing the history he made. He became the first Browns running back to score three touchdowns in a game since 2022. Judkins became the first Browns rookie to score three rushing touchdowns since 2000.
“Making his mark in the record books,” the post read.
There were calls from Myles Garrett and others for the Browns to give Judkins a larger workload. He notched a career-high 25 carries against the Dolphins, including a 46-yard scamper in the first half.
Browns RB Quinshon Judkins Loves Wildcat Role
The Browns cut out the middleman in the red zone. In sloppy conditions, Judkins took direct snaps and it worked effectively against the Dolphins’ defense.
“Yeah, something that I ran in college, so I’m familiar with it,” Judkins said. “A lot of wildcat in Ole Miss’s offense. So when coach (Tommy) Rees and coach Duce (Staley) told me that we’ll be putting it in, I had a smile on my face. Just to go out there and like I said, do my job, execute, get a touchdown. So it’s fun.”
Judkins did not have a typical start to his NFL career. An off-field domestic violence incident led to him missing all of training camp and the preseason. But Judkins is a quick study and has now become a key piece of the Browns’ offense.
“I think that it shows with my preparation,” Judkins said. “I would say just building that trust with my coaches, knowing that I would do the right thing, and just going out there executing, knowing that it also put me in the best position to do that.”
Judkins made sure to credit his offensive line after his big day.
“I think as a team, collectively, it feels good to get a win, especially at home,” Judkins said. “I think our O-line did an exceptional job getting to the next level in terms of blocks and just going out there and executing. So big ups to them and the entire coaches for helping execute.”
Browns Defense Takes ‘Donations’ From Dolphins
The ground game was big, but the defense was dominant. The Browns forced four turnovers — three interceptions and a fumble on special teams.
“They were giving out donations, and everybody was getting in on them,” Browns safety Grant Delpit said.
The Dolphins were held to 219 total yards, with a chunk of those coming with the game out of hand. Cleveland took any hope away from the Dolphins on the first play out of the half, with cornerback Tyson Campbell picking off Tua Tagovailoa and returning it for a touchdown.
The Browns will look to keep their momentum rolling as they head to New England next week to take on the 5-2 Patriots.
One drive by the Commanders should be the final straw for a drastic change after embarrassing loss to Cowboys
The Washington Commanders lost an important NFC East game against the Dallas Cowboys 44-22, and it was a nightmare of a loss.
Injuries can only be an excuse for so long, with Deatrich Wise and Will Harris hurt for a while, but this loss showed that the Commanders have the same problem every single week. And there are no changes to show from it. The Commanders are 3-4, and changes need to be made on this defense that continues to be one of the worst in the league every week.
The offense scored right before halftime to make it a one-score game, then the defense had its worst drive of the season, which should be enough for drastic changes.
The defense imploded before halftime
Jayden Daniels led the short-handed offense down the field for a touchdown to make it a 20-15 game, with the Commanders getting the ball back in the second half. All the defense had to do was get a stop in the last 45 seconds of the half, but they couldn't even do that.
Dak Prescott hit George Pickens for a 44-yard bomb against Marshon Lattimore. The Cowboys followed it up with a 33-yard run by Javonte Williams, who dragged Quan Martin for 10 yards to the two-yard line. Prescott ended the drive with a wide-open touchdown to Jake Ferguson to extend the lead to 27-15 with 10 seconds left.
Dak drops a dime to Pickens!

The offense did its job, and a 35-second drive for a touchdown should be the last nail in the coffin before jobs are lost and players are benched. The defense has allowed the same explosive plays all season, and no adjustments have been made. Lattimore should be benched with Jonathan Jones back from his injury, and an honest conversation needs to be had about defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr.
He's doing what he can with what he has, but the lack of changes is inexcusable. We continue to see the same players making mistakes, and none of the younger linebackers get a real chance to show what they have, as linebacker Bobby Wagner continues to struggle in obvious passing situations.
Daniels left the game early with a hamstring injury, Terry McLaurin is still out with no timetable for a return , and it feels like the season is getting away from the Commanders. It's time to see what you have for the rest of the season and make changes. The results couldn't be worse, so what do you have to lose? The Commanders have a gauntlet of a schedule left with the Kansas City Chiefs coming up next, and they have a lot to think about before the trade deadline.
