Ranking the NFL's highest-graded run blockers and defenders in Week 3 (Tackle: Penei Sewell, Detroit Lions – 99.3.  Penei Sewell put on a show Monday night. He was completely dominant, and his 99.3 run-blocking grade is the highest single-game grade for an offensive lineman in all of PFFs history. Sewell has always been a dominant run blocker: He has never recorded a run-block grade lower than 83.0 in his more than four seasons in the NFL.  EDGE: Aidan Hutchinson, Detroit Lions – 93.1.  Aidan Hutchinson usually makes his name as a pass rusher, but it was his ability in the run game that shined. His 93.1 run-defense grade was by far the highest of his career. His one run stop in the game was a huge forced fumble on Derrick Henry that swung the contest in the Lions’ favor and ultimately led to a huge win on Monday night.): https://www.pff.com/news/ranking-the-nfls-highest-graded-run-blockers-and-defenders-in-week-3

PFF Grades and Data: Key insights for every NFL Week 4 game (Cleveland Browns at Detroit Lions - Grant Delpit has quickly established himself as one of the league’s top run-defending safeties in 2025. His 88.3 run defense grade leads all players at the position, and his six run stops are tied for the most among safeties through three weeks.  For Detroit, Aidan Hutchinson continues to set the tone up front. The edge rusher looked fully back to form in Week 3, racking up nine total pressures against Baltimore, the third-highest single-game total of his career.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-pff-grades-and-data-key-insights-for-every-nfl-week-4-game

NFL Week 4 Preview: Schedule, storylines, matchups to watch and betting spreads (Cleveland Browns vs. Detroit Lions (-8.5):  Storyline of the game: NFL’s best offense vs NFL’s best defense.  Both the Lions and Browns are coming off huge wins against two of the top teams in the NFL, and now turn their attention toward another sizable challenge. Through the first three weeks of the season, these two teams lay claim to a pair of the highest-graded units in the NFL. The Lions hold an NFL-best 82.1 team offensive grade, and the Browns boast the top mark on the defensive side of the ball with an 88.0.  Matchup to watch: Lions RG Tate Ratledge vs. Browns DI Maliek Collins - The Browns’ pass rush is more than just Myles Garrett. Maliek Collins has been excellent on the interior as well to start the year. Powered by a 22.4% pass-rush win rate, Collins holds the highest PFF pass-rush grade (91.5) among interior defenders.  Lions first-year guard Tate Ratledge has made strides over the last three weeks, showing consistent improvements week over week. However, difficulties in pass protection are still present, with Ratledge’s 54.8 PFF pass-blocking grade ranking 44th out of 74 qualifying guards.  Additional News:  Lions LT Taylor Decker (shoulder) and EDGE Al-Quadin Muhammad (knee) did not practice to start the week.  Browns place LT Dawand Jones (knee) on season-ending IR, sign T Thayer Munford Jr.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-week-4-preview-schedule-storylines-matchups-to-watch-and-betting-spreads

2025 NFL QB rankings, Week 4: Justin Herbert approaching throne, Daniel Jones enters top 10 (9. Jared Goff - 2025 stats: 3 games | 77.9 pct | 761 pass yds | 8.0 ypa | 7 pass TDs | 1 INT | 11 rush yds | 0 rush TDs | 1 fumble.  Jared Goff expertly handled his job in the Lions' big win over the Ravens, displaying accuracy, command and, most importantly, poise. His mission was easier to execute thanks to their fantastic running game, but Goff also nailed some crucial throws in the victory.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/lions-oc-john-morton-tough-browns-defense-hasn-t-seen-a-run-game-like-ours-yet

David Montgomery Shares How the Jumbotron Helped Him on 72-Yard Run vs. Ravens:  https://www.si.com/nfl/david-montgomery-jumbotron-run-ravens



What to expect from Week 4: Herbert & Goff could join the record books (Lions QB Jared Goff Continues To Master His Craft.  Goff has 43 games of passing for at least 300 yards since entering the NFL in 2016. With another such game Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, Goff could move into a tie with Drew Brees and Dan Marino (44 games) for the third most such games in a player's first 10 years in the league. He would trail only Patrick Mahomes with 48 games and Matt Ryan with 45 games.):  https://touchdownwire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/touchdown/2025/09/25/what-to-expect-from-nfl-week-4-herbert-goff-could-join-the-record-books/86353277007/
