Since I know you spent Sunday’s Lions-Browns game waiting for Quidshon Judkins and Jahmyr Gibbs fantasy updates, here’s the real entertainment: Penei Sewell—the best offensive lineman in the NFL right now—against Myles Garrett. This is an epic throwdown well worth the four minutes it takes to watch.

Jameson Williams has proved to be Detroit's top deep threat, but the connection with Lions quarterback Jared Goff wasn't there against Cleveland. Williams was targeted by Goff eight times but caught only two passes. In Week 3 against Baltimore, he was targeted just three times for two catches. Although Williams doesn't need a lot of receptions to be effective, Goff would like to see their connection improve. "I've got no reservations with him at all," Goff said Sunday. "He's as good as they get in our league. He can score from anywhere, and going to keep believing in him no matter what."

The mulleted second-round offensive tackle has started all four games and has been one of the best rookie offensive linemen in the league. He also has a sweet John Wayne tattoo that takes up most of the upper part of his left arm. Third-round wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa has two catches this season, both of which have been one-handed showstoppers. He also just signed a marketing deal with Ford, which earns him bonus points.

The Lions offense we saw against the Bears is the one we saw last year. Jared Goff was outstanding. Ben who?
