The Cleveland Browns did it in Week 4.
In primetime, against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Browns held onto the win and are now atop the AFC North. And not only are they the leaders in the AFC North, but they are also the sole leader, which hasn't happened since 2014. So after such a monumental week, what grade did CBS Sports give them for their play?

CBS Sports' John Breech gave the Browns a B+ for their play on Thursday night. He writes, "The Browns weren't viewed as a team with high expectations going into the season, but suddenly, they look dangerous. The Browns' offense has been the biggest surprise, and that's due to Deshaun Watson. The QB had another impressive game, and a big reason he's had a strong season so far is because of Cleveland's two rookie receivers (Denzel Boston and K.C. Concepcion). Those two combined to make nine catches for 153 yards against the Steelers. The Browns went into the season with a strong defense — that unit had five sacks and two turnovers against Pittsburgh — and if the offense is also playing at that level, there's no reason this team can't make the playoffs. It's starting to look like the Browns might actually be for real."
The Browns are in uncharted territory for so many players on this team, if not all of them, and the staff. Having a veteran coach for this moment in Todd Monken can help matters, but this team is going to have to learn on the fly and keep benefiting from playmakers on both sides of the ball.
In Week 5, they will have a chance to earn another positive grade with a win over the New York Jets.
