The Detroit Lions got run out of Buffalo, Michigan looked shaky against UTEP before pulling away, and Kevin and Jeff have plenty to unpack heading into a critical NFL Week 3. This is the Wednesday recap.

Inside this episode: the Lions fall behind 21-0 in the first quarter and never recover, losing 41-31 to the Bills. Kevin and Jeff dig into Devin White's foolish decision, Kelvin Sheppard's "we're gonna do what we do" comments, and why the real blame belongs on Brad Holmes and a 2024 draft class that's failed to produce healthy, reliable secondary depth. They also make the case that Jared Goff deserves more credit than he's getting — four touchdown passes under constant pressure — and debate whether Detroit's Super Bowl window is already closing.

Then it's on to Michigan, who trailed UTEP 14-7 midway through the second quarter before a quick close to the first half and dominant third-quarter defensive stand flipped the game. Kevin and Jeff break down Bryce Underwood's efficient 19-of-25 passing day (fumbles aside), the ongoing question of whether Tommy Carr could eventually take the starting job, and why the run game still isn't clicking behind Jordan Marshall and Savion Hiter. They preview a tough defensive matchup against Iowa and look ahead to a loaded Big Ten schedule.

Plus: a Jets preview for Sunday, a Big Ten sleeper watch on Northwestern and Minnesota, and the never-ending Ben Johnson vs. Dan Campbell debate.
