Broncos beware: Browns’ defense thrives on turnovers
Case Keenum #4 of the Denver Broncos spent a lot of the day in trouble as the Denver Broncos take on the San Francisco 49ers at Levi’s Stadium Dec. 9, 2018 in Santa Clara, Calif. A big reason for the Cleveland Browns advancing from last year’s 0-16 record to their current mark of 5-7-1: Takeaways.
Entering Saturday’s game against the Broncos, the Browns’ 28 takeaways are second-most in the NFL, behind only Chicago (34). The Browns have 15 interceptions and a league-leading 13 fumble recoveries. Last year, the Browns’ 13 takeaways were fewest in the league.
Broncos coach Vance Joseph credits Browns interim coach/defensive coordinator Gregg Williams for the improvement.
