Detroit Lions Podcast: From Baltimore Breakthrough to Browns Blueprint The Detroit Lions walked out of Monday night with more than a win—they left Baltimore with a recalibrated national narrative. In this episode, we unpack why that performance travels, how Jared Goff's command keeps the offense on schedule, and what Kelvin Sheppard's defense can duplicate on a short week as the Cleveland Browns visit Ford Field. The focus is clear: stack traits that win in the nfl, not just one-offs that win a night. What Baltimore Confirmed About DetroitBrowns Preview: Winning on Detroit's Terms Two weeks, two different paths to points. After detonating the Bears through the air, Detroit bludgeoned the baltimore ravens with balance and situational precision. Goff's pre- and post-snap processing—checks, protections, and ball placement—kept Detroit out of negative plays and set up the fourth-down strike to Amon-Ra St. Brown that tilted the game. That's the hallmark of an elite attack: win a shootout one Sunday, then win a fistfight the next. On defense, Sheppard's group again started slow before clamping down, marrying simulated pressures with rush-lane discipline to squeeze escape angles and manufacture seven sacks on Lamar—proof of concept for a spy-and-squeeze menu that should age well. Credit John Morton and the offensive staff for multiplicity without vanity. The touches flowed—David Montgomery, Jahmyr Gibbs, Sam LaPorta, St. Brown—forcing Baltimore's second level to tackle in space and defend every blade of grass. That multiplicity, paired with a cleaner penalty sheet and consistent red-zone sequencing, is the identity that wins in December and January. What Baltimore Confirmed About DetroitBrowns Preview: Winning on Detroit's Terms This Cleveland Browns defense is real. Jim Schwartz's front plays on your side of the line, with Myles Garrett wrecking edges and man corners Denzel Ward and Greg Newsome squeezing windows. Interior disruptor Malik Collins has been a problem on tape, and Cleveland's rookie class is contributing early snaps. The adjustment for Detroit: vary protection IDs, change the launch point, and force Cleveland to tackle Gibbs and LaPorta in space on early downs so Goff isn't living in obvious pass sets. This is another week for tempo pockets, bunch/stack releases, and quick game that becomes explosives when angles are bad. Matchup math favors Sheppard's defense. Cleveland throws at one of the highest rates while ranking near the bottom in yards per pass and explosive plays; Joe Flacco's pressure splits amplify that drag. Detroit must strangle first down, earn second-and-long, then hunt with five-man fronts that keep contain on draw and screen. Protect the post, plaster on scramble, and make the Browns stack 10-play drives in a loud building. Do that, and Dan Campbell's team turns Sunday into another four-quarter clinic in complementary football—with Jared Goff, Kelvin Sheppard, and John Morton headlining an algorithm-proof formula the nfl is learning to respect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWtj2bNgeDE Let us know what you think about the show by commenting in the podcast thread in the subreddit, or by leaving us a voice mail message via Skype at: Detroit Lions Podcast Your input will help make the show better, and if you leave us a message on Skype, you just might be featured in an upcoming podcast!

The Browns are trying to find a solution to their struggling offense and it likely starts with the connection between their quarterback, Joe Flacco, and his No. 1 receiver Jerry Jeudy. Getting them going would go a long ways to jumpstarting an offense that has not been good over the season's first three weeks. What if part of the problem, too, is being too conservative? Is it time to let Flacco cook? Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe talk about the offense, Flacco and Jeudy on Wednesday's edition of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast. Are they too scared about Flacco turning the ball over? Or is this the right formula? Then they look at some of the injuries the Browns are monitoring going into Sunday, including Denzel Ward, who didn't practice on Wednesday and would be a big loss if he's unable to play on Sunday for some reason.
