Scouting Report: Browns Relying On Defense To Beat Steelers

As we’ve been doing for several years now, we’ll break down the Pittsburgh Steelers’ opponent each week, telling you what to expect from a scheme and individual standpoint. This year, Jonathan Heitritter and I will cover the opposing team’s defense. I will focus on the scheme, Jonathan on the players.

Today, scouting the Cleveland Browns’ defense.

ALEX’S SCHEME REPORT

Browns RUN DEFENSE

A solid group and 4-3 front. I’m seeing the Browns run less of the 5-2 fronts we wrote about in our scouting report in the previous matchup and something they leaned on in Week Two.
