After Detroit's convincing win on Monday night, can Jahmyr Gibbs and the Detroit Lions (2-1) get their second win in less than a week against Myles Garrett and the visiting Cleveland Browns (1-2)? The Browns vs. Lions matchup, scheduled for a 1:00 PM ET start on Sunday, September 28, on Fox, has Kenny Albert (play-by-play), Super Bowl champion Jonathan Vilma (analyst), & Megan Olivi (reporter) describing the action from Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan. The Browns are fresh off a crazy win last week vs. the Packers, defeating Green Bay 13-10 thanks to K Andre Szmyt's game-winning 55-yard field goal as regulation time ended. The Lions vanquished the Ravens 38-30 on "Monday Night Football" last week. Now, the Lions play the Browns on a short week. The Browns' defense leads the NFL this year in total defense (204.3 yards per game) and run defense (57.3 yards per game). Browns DE Myles Garrett is tied for second in the NFL with four sacks. The Lions have the most fourth-down conversions in the league since 2021 (57.2%), when current head coach Dan Campbell began his tenure there. Following a devastating injury in 2024, Lions DL Aidan Hutchinson has ROARED back in the spotlight with two sacks through three games.

A pair of 1-2 clubs play in Week #4 as Derrick Brown and the Carolina Panthers (1-2) take a trip to Foxborough, Massachusetts, to battle Stefon Diggs and the New England Patriots (1-2) on Sunday, September 28, at 1:00 PM ET on Fox, featuring play-by-play commentator Chris Myers, analyst and three-time Super Bowl champion Mark Schlereth, and sideline reporter Jennifer Hale.

Bryce Young and the Panthers look to continue the momentum from last week's dominant win over the Falcons. Carolina has at least one interception in each of their three game contests this season. The Patriots were 4-for-5 on fourth downs in Week 3. So far, New England has yet to allow a team to obtain 100 yards rushing against them. Last week, the Steelers were limited to 64 rushing yards as a team.

An important interconference is set to unfold at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, as Josh Hines-Allen and the Jacksonville Jaguars (2-1) link up with Ricky Pearsall and the undefeated San Francisco 49ers (3-0) on Sunday, September 28, at 4:05 PM ET on Fox, with Adam Amin (play-by-play) teaming up with analyst and NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez and reporter Kristina Pink for the game call. The Jaguars bested the Texans 17-10 in Week #3. San Francisco, meanwhile, walked off the Cardinals with an Eddy Pinero field goal as time expired last week, 16-15. The Jaguars lead the NFL with seven interceptions and nine takeaways through the first three weeks, including multiple interceptions in each game. Jaguars WR/DB Travis Hunter (rookie) had a season-high six tackles last week vs. the Texans. The 49ers can start 3-0 for the third time (2019 and 2023, with both of those seasons ending in a Super Bowl appearance) since current head coach Kyle Shanahan was hired in 2017. 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey had his 12th career game with at least 10 receptions, which is the most by a running back in NFL history.

Charvarius Ward and the Indianapolis Colts (3-0) chase down their fourth consecutive win vs. Puka Nacua and the Los Angeles Rams (2-1) on Sunday, September 28, at 4:05 PM ET on Fox, with play-by-play announcer Kevin Kugler, analyst and three-time Super Bowl champion Daryl "Moose" Johnston, and reporter Allison Williams. The Colts trounced the Titans 41-20 in Nashville last week for the club's third straight win. Meanwhile, the Rams try to recover following last week's heartbreaking 33-26 loss in Philadelphia, where K Joshua Karty's potential game-winning field goal was blocked and returned by Eagles DT Jordan Davis for the game-winning touchdown. The Colts can start 4-0 for the first time since 2009 with a victory in Inglewood this weekend. Colts RB Jonathan Taylor leads the league with 338 rushing yards and 431 scrimmage yards entering play in Week 4. Rams star WR Puka Nacua currently leads the NFL with 29 receptions and 333 receiving yards. He had 11 catches for 112 yards in last week's loss to the Eagles. During Week #3, the former BYU and Washington wide receiver became the fifth player all-time with at least 10 receptions and 100 receiving yards in six games within his first three career seasons, joining Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (seven games), Vikings WR Justin Jefferson (seven games), NFL wide receiver Michael Thomas (seven games), former NFL wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (six games).
