• James Proche’s history includes a huge medical scare in high school (Barry Shuck) - Prior to the Week 9 game against the Arizona Cardinals, the Cleveland Browns signed James Proche to the practice squad.

• Browns vs Ravens: Lamar Jackson and 2 other Ravens of interest to watch this week (Matt Wilson) - Browns, Ravens has a strong betting line spread this week with these 3 players being a big reason.

Cleveland Browns:

• Myles Garrett says difference between Ravens and Browns in first meeting was ‘3 drives’ (Beacon Journal) - The scoreboard said it wasn’t close the first time the Browns and Baltimore Ravens played this season. All-Pro defensive end Myles Garrett, though, would like to lodge a mild dispute toward what the final score actually said.
• Elijah Moore focused on putting ‘best foot forward’ for the Browns despite ‘frustrating’ individual start (cleveland.com) - The first half of the 2023 season hasn’t gone how just about anyone thought it would for Browns receiver Elijah Moore. That includes Moore himself.

NFL:

• The Ravens have the NFL’s best defense. Kyle Van Noy, a midseason signing, is a big reason why. (Baltimore Sun) - Kyle Van Noy has the same question you do. How the heck was he available for the Ravens to sign in late September?
• How the Bengals created a more disruptive pass rush (ESPN) - Cincinnati Bengals defensive linemen BJ Hill and Sam Hubbard knew exactly what to do in a big moment at the end of the first half in Sunday’s 24-18 win over the Buffalo Bills. Hill, a defensive tackle, twisted left and attacked the edge of the offensive formation to pressure Bills quarterback Josh Allen. Hubbard worked from the edge inside. The plan worked and resulted in a sack. What to do next was a bit trickier.
• Aaron Rodgers was supposed to define the Jets’ season. Instead, the decision not to replace him has (The Ringer) - It’s been two months since Aaron Rodgers went down with a torn Achilles. So why have the New York Jets chosen to keep starting Zach Wilson instead of finding another quarterback?

Do you think tomorrow’s game will define the Browns season or just really important?
