The Xs and Os with Greg Cosell: Previewing Week 8’s biggest NFL matchups

It’s time for Week 8 of the NFL season, and as always, Greg Cosell of NFL Films and ESPN’s NFL Matchup, and Doug Farrar of Touchdown Wire and the USA Today Sports Media Group, get you ready with tons of tape study and advanced metrics.

This week, Greg and Doug get into these games:

New England Patriots at Miami Dolphins — The Dolphins’ offense didn’t look like itself against the Philadelphia Eagles. How can Bill Belichick and his staff build upon that, and what they did to Tua Tagovailoa in Week 2?

Cleveland Browns at Seattle Seahawks — The Seahawks are turning it up to 11 in their passing game.

Cincinnati Bengals at San Francisco 49ers — Brock Purdy continues to dominate against the blitz. What might Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo do to limit the damage (if Purdy plays at all)?

Jacksonville Jaguars at Pittsburgh Steelers — Just when you were out on Matt Canada’s offense, he pulls you back in with a schematic concept that has freed George Pickens.

Greg and Doug also go deep on Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens’ new passing game.
