Overview

  • Lions offensive coordinator John Morton said the Browns "haven't seen a run game like ours yet," citing Detroit's patience and recent success on the ground.
  • Browns star Myles Garrett replied that Detroit "hasn't seen a defensive front like ours" and framed Sunday as a battle of ideologies to be resolved between the lines.
  • Cleveland enters Week 4 with the NFL's top run defense at 57.3 rushing yards allowed per game and the fewest total yards allowed, per NFL Research.
  • Detroit ranks fourth in rushing at 149.0 yards per game and ran for 224 yards against the Ravens, with David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs combining for 218 yards and four touchdowns.
  • Reporters and team insiders view Morton's comment as bulletin-board motivation for a Browns team seeking validation after upsetting Green Bay, with kickoff set for Sunday at 1 p.m. ET at Ford Field.
