Something of an ageless wonder as a proven, still-effective 13-year veteran, Rodney McLeod Jr.’s ability to turn back the clock in Week 4, fittingly, bought the Cleveland Browns some time in their comeback attempt against the Raiders. Initially impressive in setting the edge, fighting off a 6-foot-8, 325-pound lineman to keep Las Vegas’ running back funneled inside, McLeod gets rewarded with a fortuitous, “right place, right time” bounce, tracking a fumble mid-stride for a 25-yard touchdown return. Steering free of negative plays throughout, McLeod was charted for a pair of tackles, one fumble recovery, a defensive touchdown, and zero targets allowed during a hard-fought 20-16 loss on Sept. 29, 2024.
