CLEVELAND BROWNS or BALTIMORE RAVENS: Which team has the REAL #1 defense in the NFL?

This Sunday's AFC North showdown between the Cleveland Browns & Baltimore Ravens has more than just divisional playoff implications on the line.

This is a matchup of the two best defenses in the NFL, and this week will once and for all settle which unit is better.

Depending on the metric you look at, you can make a case that either defense has not just been the best this year, but historically good. Today, we'll go through the players, the positions and the numbers to make our case for why one of these two awesome units is better than the other.

The Browns will be tasked with slowing down Lamar Jackson and the Ravens run game. Baltimore has a stable of backs, but is Lamar really the scariest part of that rushing attack?

Tyvis played with Denzel Ward at Ohio State, and he's here to explain to us why Ward is having the best pro season of his career. Spoiler alert: it's the Jim Schwartz effect.

Plus, some no fence riders for the upcoming Ravens game AND a 2-pack of elite guests.

How about Aditi Kinkhabwala at 11:30 and Bernie Kosar at 12:30? No one gets Cleveland like we do.
