What happened: Cleveland Browns safety Grant Delpit addressed the defense surrendering five opening-drive touchdowns through seven games this season. The unit has repeatedly fallen behind on opponents' first possessions before adjusting in the second half. Delpit discussed the trend as Cleveland prepares for its upcoming divisional matchup.

Why it matters: Cleveland enters the second half of the schedule in strong position at 5-2, riding a two-game winning streak that has kept the team firmly in the AFC playoff picture. Tightening up early possessions will be critical as the Browns compete for postseason seeding in a competitive AFC North race.

What to watch: The Browns look to sustain their two-game winning streak and shore up early defensive stops as they navigate the midseason schedule.
