Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski is the play caller when it comes to the Browns’ offense. That doesn’t mean that first-year offensive coordinator Tommy Rees doesn’t feel the pressure when game planning for upcoming opponents. And he is certainly feeling the pressure when looking at the Steelers’ defense ahead of Sunday’s matchup.
Perhaps a big part of that is the Browns prepping to start rookie Dillon Gabriel for only the second time this year. Rees is certainly aware that the Steelers’ defense can cause quarterbacks, rookie or veteran, problems. But the defense is also causing issues for ball carriers this year, too.
