Jim Schwartz must overcome Browns being third worst defense in “yards before contact”

Sometimes what you see on the screen and what the boxscore says look completely different. It can be shocking, at times, to feel like RB Nick Chubb didn’t get the ball much but see 18-22 carries at the end of the game.

Last year’s Cleveland Browns defense was just as bad in the stat book as it looked like it was on the field.

Under then-DC Joe Woods, Cleveland’s defense could barely stop anyone. The front seven had huge holes and the secondary often had blown coverage. Teams that were bad at running the football all year found success against the Browns.
