Going into the 2022 NFL season, the hope for the Cleveland Browns was that their defense and run game could keep the team afloat until QB Deshaun Watson was back on the field. Through eight weeks, the Browns have played well enough to have won five or six games but, instead, are 3-5.
Instead of being carried by the defense, it (along with special teams) has let the team down over and over again. While DE Myles Garrett has been the best player in the NFL, per PFF, the defense as a whole has struggled.
