Published On: Fri Oct 02 2026
Description: 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.
