On this episode of the Twentyman in the Huddle podcast presented by Microsoft, Tim Twentyman previews the Lions' final interconference matchup of the season with the Buffalo Bills making the trip to Detroit for Sunday's game. First, Tim welcomes former NFL quarterback and current CBS Sports studio analyst for NFL Today Matt Ryan to the show, who will be on-site for CBS' coverage Sunday. Matt discusses how Sunday's game will be his first visit to Ford Field not as a player and previews the quarterback matchup of Jared Goff and Josh Allen. He also discusses how Amon-Ra St. Brown and Sam LaPorta can be 'nightmare matchups' for defenses, the versatility of Detroit's offensive line and how tough an environment Ford Field is to play in. Plus, Matt shares his thoughts on whether Detroit has the pieces for a Super Bowl team and what it would have been like to play under Lions head coach Dan Campbell and offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. Next, Detroit Lions cornerback and gunner Khalil Dorsey joins the show. Khalil chats about how valued the special teams unit is in Detroit and the mindset of preparing for both cornerback and special teams. He also shares why he loves playing with punter Jack Fox, and who he thinks are the four fastest on the team for a 4x100 relay. Finally, Bills play-by-play radio broadcaster Chris Brown calls in to discuss all the latest news from Buffalo. Chris gives an update on where the Bills are injury-wise, and how offensive weapons Dalton Kincaid and Keon Coleman might make their returns Sunday. Chris also analyzes the play of Josh Allen compared to previous years and defensive corrections the team needs to make after giving up 44 points in a loss to the Rams last week. Plus, Chris explains why physicality and time of possession are key for Buffalo.
