The Lions (1-8) won’t have a better chance to win a game than they do on Sunday when they host the Cleveland Browns (1-8). The Browns are coming off a 16-0 loss to Baltimore on Monday night and have lost four straight. Their only win came on Oct. 11, when they won a barn-burner, 6-3, at Buffalo. The Browns have scored just seven touchdowns in nine games. The Lions have 15 touchdowns in that span. (In comparison, the Saints have 43, the Vikings 32.)

The Lions are banged-up, but this is a good chance to earn their second win. It’s their best shot since they lost to St. Louis, giving the Rams their first win of the season.
