Overview

  • Detroit has rebounded from a slow opener with a 224-yard rushing outburst in Baltimore and a two-game run featuring six passing and six rushing touchdowns without allowing a sack or turnover.
  • Cleveland leads the NFL in fewest total and rushing yards allowed, and Myles Garrett anchors a front that has produced an NFL-high 12 three-and-out drives.
  • Thursday’s updates showed every Browns player practicing, with Hall and Denzel Ward limited, while the Lions’ estimate listed Al‑Quadin Muhammad (knee) and Derrick Barnes (knee) and added Zach Cunningham (hamstring).
  • Lions OC John Morton said the Browns “haven’t seen a run game like ours yet,” as Browns DC Jim Schwartz dismissed bulletin-board talk and focused on game planning.
  • Oddsmakers favor Detroit by roughly 9.5–10 points at Ford Field, with Cleveland’s offense averaging about 15 points per game and leaning on its elite defense to stay close.
