Browns defensive front seven long on potential

The Cleveland Browns fielded one of the worst defenses in the NFL under former defensive coordinator Ray Horton in 2016.

Don’t think so because you are getting bad information from Twitter sources? Well, what other conclusion can be drawn after the defense finished:

  • 31st in the NFL in touchdown passes allowed with 36
  • 30th in points per game at 28.2
  • 30th in sacks with 26
  • 31st against the run at 142.7 yards per game
  • 28th in average run per carry at 4.6

The Browns served the biggest problem by replacing Horton with defensive coordinator Gregg Williams.
