Defense was supposed to be a strength for the Cleveland Browns this year, but instead, it's been the team's most glaring weakness. Not only is Cleveland's long-vaunted secondary slipping while its run defense remains as bad as ever, but there is barely any pass rush to speak of, whether from the front seven or the use of creative blitzes.
The Browns have a collective 16 sacks through 10 games and are on pace to have far fewer than the 31 they had in 2014, when they finished 27th in sacks in the league. Presently, Cleveland ranks 28th in getting to opposing quarterbacks, and barring any wildly successful bye-week adjustments, it doesn't seem like it's going to improve any time soon.
