Mary Kay Cabot and Dan Labbe begin Tuesday's Hey, Mary Kay! edition of the Orange and Brown Talk Podcast by discussing the status of Watson and whether he'll play Sunday against the Colts. They also talk about the performance of Walker on Sunday and if the Browns should look to add a veteran backup quaterback.

The 49ers showed up to Cleveland Browns Stadium on Sunday looking for a fight and they got one -- before the game and during. The Browns beat them, 19-17, handing them their first loss of the season and moving to 3-2 on the year. Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe discussed the game on Sunday night from the stadium in their postgame Orange and Brown Talk Podcast. They get into a dominant performance from the defense, who shut down San Francisco's high-powered offensive attack and allowed the offense to do just enough to win the game. They also discussed the potential return of Deshaun Watson and the play of Amari Cooper on a big day for the Browns' No. 1 receiver. They spend time talking about the kicking game and Dan gets shut down when he tries to take a victory lap over a score prediction that never actually went on the record.
