Coming off an impressive win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 3, the Detroit Lions jump into their Week 4 game at a 2-1 record. This week, they host the Cleveland Browns, who just recently upset the Green Bay Packers in Week 3 and look to do the same Sunday afternoon. The Browns are 1-2 and aim to start a winning streak behind this stout defense, which has been a headache for two of their three opponents so far. However, the offense is where Cleveland could use some help. Detroit can’t overlook them, despite their offensive woes and below .500 record.
“This defense, I’ve already mentioned, I think is the best that we will have faced,” Lions head coach Dan Campbell said. “Green Bay was damn good, but this defense is really good, man. So, we’ve got our hands full over there. And offensively, man, they’re going to ball control, Flacco’s seen every look you could see, they’re going to lean on the rookie. And so, we know what’s coming in here.”
