Nowhere to go but up: Graph shows how bad Browns coverage defense was

Not to kick a dead horse but sometimes it is vital to look back to look forward.

For the Cleveland Browns, it really doesn’t seem like it can get worse on the defensive side of the ball. Joe Woods is out and Jim Schwartz is in as the team’s defensive coordinator. Interestingly, that may be enough to make the defense at least decent.

Of the final eight teams left in the NFL playoffs, only the Kansas City Chiefs (17th), the Jacksonville Jaguars (26th) and the New York Giants (29th) were worse than 11th in DVOA on the defensive side of the ball.
