The Cleveland Browns are 1-1 with a precarious quarterback situation but still rank at the top of the NFL in one category: analytics. That's according to an ESPN poll of analytics staffers around the league.
It's a crown the Browns have defended for years. They took the title from the Baltimore Ravens in our 2021 survey and have maintained it since.
This year's survey -- which poses various questions about the usage of advanced metrics in the NFL -- was sent to an analytics staffer from each of the 32 teams. Though they were allowed to collaborate with coworkers, ESPN asked for one submission per organization to limit biases.
