At 3-1 after beating the Steelers, the crew debates why the Browns defense looks so creative and effective with Garrett on IR, while the offensive line keeps Deshaun Watson clean. Callers credit Todd Monken for unlocking Watson, and the hosts push the idea that this is a total team effort. Things get chippy when the college quarterback draft graphic pops up and the show decides it's not the time to talk draft.

Browns beat reporter Daryl Ruiter joins Ken and Lima to call the 3-1 Browns resilient, saying Deshaun Watson is a roller coaster who keeps finding a way when it matters, and that his play could put the team in a tricky spot on a contract extension. He is unsure the franchise tag is even an option, and floats a short Baker Mayfield style deal as a middle ground. They also praise the five-sack defensive effort and Mike Hall's return from the cart, defend Jared Verse's impact without the sacks, and say Andre Szmyt is giving Phil Dawson vibes.

Ken and Lima declare Deshaun Watson the starter for good, at least until the Browns fall under .500, and argue that anyone crediting Jimmy Haslam for the quarterback call has to admit the owner knows football. They gush over rookies Denzel Boston and KC Concepcion, praise Quinshon Judkins' work out of the backfield, and admit everyone has taken turns being wrong about this team. The mood dips when they turn to Mason Graham's injury and the need for interior defensive line depth, with callers from Willoughby and Bay Village chiming in along the way.

Ken and Lima argue that at 3-1 the Browns are contenders until proven otherwise, while acknowledging the penalties, the shaky run game, and a potential letdown against the Jets, who are favored by 2.5. They say Deshaun Watson doesn't need to be his 2020 self, note that people around the league are actively rooting against him, and credit Todd Monken for giving Jerry Jeudy a spark with his big fourth-quarter catch. Callers from Strongsville, Lakewood, and Tel Aviv weigh in on a Watson extension, and the show looks ahead to a tougher schedule after the Jets.

Nathan Zegura joins Ken Carman and Anthony Lima to break down the Cleveland Browns' cultural shift and defensive success under Mike Rutenberg.

Browns radio analyst Nathan Zegura joins Ken and Lima to credit the culture Todd Monken and Mike Rutenberg have built, pointing to Deshaun Watson's third straight game-winning drive (the first in the Super Bowl era since Brian Sipe in 1979), Andre Szmyt's 22 straight field goals, and Jerry Jeudy's fourth-quarter catches. He explains why the pass rush is thriving without Myles Garrett through creative pressures and a team-wide effort, and praises Mike Hall's gutsy return with Mason Graham out. They also dig into Quinshon Judkins' passing-game role, Jaleel McLaughlin's long run, and the penalties that still need cleaning up.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima break down the Cleveland Browns' exciting 27-24 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima analyze Deshaun Watson's impact ahead of a primetime matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers. They explore Mike Tomlin's Minecraft city, Guardians postseason pressure, and Anthony's preparation for a local speech.

Ken and Lima respond to Mary Kay Cabot's take that the quarterback conversation stays week to week even with a win. Ken argues a 3-1 start settles it and says he won't repeat the 2014 mistake of benching a winning quarterback, while Lima points out Watson has already handled career-on-the-line pressure in the last two fourth quarters. They still worry about the offensive line without Elton Jenkins, but agree that a win with few turnovers makes Watson the starter for the foreseeable future.

Mary Kay Cabot joins Ken Carman and Anthony Lima to break down the critical matchup against the Steelers and whether Deshaun Watson has finally turned a corner. They explore the offensive line struggles without Elgton Jenkins and discuss the pressure on Todd Monken to unlock the deep passing game. The conversation shifts to whether a victory tonight would officially cement Watson as the long-term starter or if his status remains a week-to-week evaluation.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima debate whether a victory against the Steelers will finally solidify Deshaun Watson's position as the team leader. They explore referee conspiracy theories with callers and discuss how Lima is using artificial intelligence to prepare a speech for a local men's club.

Ken and Lima react to Jeremy Fowler's report that the Browns would listen on a deal for a backup quarterback, with Dylan Gabriel eligible to come off IR and the trade deadline coming at the end of the month. Callers weigh in on whether Deshaun Watson can win fans over tonight, and one argues everybody is moving the goalposts on him. Another caller rips Shedeur Sanders' resume, and the hosts push back before signing off with a "Go Browns!"

Ken ribs Lima for running his Bay Village Men's Club speech through ChatGPT Premium, which flagged his best jokes and budgeted 45 seconds to a minute for laughter. They swap stories about bombing on stage before playing Todd Monken's take on primetime games. Then they ask whether a win over the Steelers could finally win fans over on Deshaun Watson.

Callers answer whether Deshaun Watson can win them over tonight. Tony in Lisbon wants a full four-quarter game instead of fourth quarter heroics, Mike in Beachwood compares it to a breakup that's already happened, and Chris in Copley says Watson is gone after the season and wants better O-line play against the Steelers. Ken and Lima counter that quarterback play is shaky across the league, credit Watson's legs and pump fake for bailing out a struggling line, and wonder whether Pittsburgh will use a spy and how Todd Monken would respond.

Mary Kay Cabot joins Ken and Lima to explain how Deshaun Watson and KC Concepcion can get on the same page against the Steelers, why the banged-up offensive line is the biggest concern and what Mason Graham's second-year jump means for the defense. She says a win tonight would go a long way toward bringing fans over to Watson's side, but the quarterback conversation likely stays week to week. Ken and Lima close by debating whether a win still leaves Watson on an interim basis if the defense carries the team.

Ken and Lima debate whether the Browns should chase Marvin Harrison Jr., who has barely been targeted this season, and decides they don't need another sullen receiver. They then break down tonight's Steelers matchup, where a banged-up offensive line and a resurgent TJ Watt could make it a real test for Deshaun Watson. After a Jordan Schultz clip on Todd Monken's belief in Watson, they discuss how Pittsburgh might rush him and rattle him mentally.

Ken and Lima say the more the Browns win, the closer the quarterback-of-the-future folder gets to the shelf, especially with next year's draft class already being picked apart. Callers weigh in: Caitlin credits Todd Monken's plan, and Tarzan says Watson isn't a Brown until he beats Pittsburgh and might get re-signed with a big season. Ken says he'd only franchise tag him, and Lima points to the Vikings moving on from Sam Darnold at 14-3. The segment ends in a long tangent about Kirk Herbstreit's golden retriever, Peter, and the Amazon Prime broadcast.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima discuss whether Deshaun Watson can finally earn the respect of Cleveland fans by defeating the Steelers on primetime. They explore the immense pressure on the Guardians heading into the ALDS and react to Mike Tomlin's surprising Minecraft hobby. Additionally, they critique the double standards in how fans treat the different professional teams in town.

Ken and Lima play Jordan Schultz's Pivot podcast audio about Todd Monken restoring Deshaun Watson's confidence, then debate whether the 2-1 start and fourth-quarter heroics are getting too much hype after a 67-yard passing day against Carolina. They ask listeners whether a win over the Steelers could turn them around, while acknowledging a never-Watson segment of the fan base that won't be moved by winning. Along the way, Ken explains why he won't pick the Browns and the pair joke about Mike Tomlin's Minecraft empire.

On the morning of Thursday night's game against the Steelers, Ken wants to whoop it up about the 2-1 start while Lima keeps accusing him of sounding scared and of talking himself into the hype. Ken argues it feels like a changing of the guard, with a young roster, Mason Graham playing great, and a Steelers team distracted by the Joey Porter Jr. trade, but his doubts about Deshaun Watson hold him back. Callers weigh in on the run game and the Browns' chances, and Ken and Lima detour into Mike Tomlin's viral Minecraft city.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima preview the Thursday night clash with the Steelers, highlighting the house money feel of the Browns' 2-1 start. They explore Todd Monken's influence on Deshaun Watson's confidence and address whether the quarterback can earn back the trust of a skeptical fan base with a divisional victory.
