Chapters

The Seahawks (3-0) face a challenging road game against the Lions, who were preseason NFC favorites. A key question is whether Geno Smith can sustain his impressive performance against a tough Lions defense known for its man coverage, led by Aiden Hutchinson. The Lions' offense, potentially hampered by Frank Ragnow's absence, will test the Seahawks' defense in a clash of styles.
  • Geno Smith has the highest success rate against man coverage in the NFL.
  • The Lions run the second-highest rate of man coverage in the league.
  • Frank Ragnow's presence significantly impacts the Lions' offensive performance.

Shownotes Transcript

Nate Tice and Charles McDonald join forces to preview the best, most interesting and sloppiest matchups ahead of Week 4 of NFL action. The duo start with in-depth previews of the three premiere matchups as they attempt to determine if Geno Smith can keep his hot streak alive against a dangerous Detroit Lions defense, if the Green Bay Packers defense can start catching some of Sam Darnold's inaccurate throws and whether or not the Baltimore Ravens D can stop a humming Buffalo team that hasn't been slowed down yet this season.

Next, Nate and Charles enter Four-Minute Offense to analyze a couple key matchups to keep an eye on, including a hoss fight in Indianapolis and Jalen Hurts against a Tampa Bay defense that's given him fits in the past.

The hosts wrap up with "Slop Watch," where they give you a reason to watch a game you might otherwise turn off, including a chess match in Chicago, the Arizona Cardinals trying to stop Jayden Daniels and a New England Patriots team that just might have the juice to keep it close against the San Francisco 49ers.
