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. Like last year, Tom Mead and I will cover the opposing team’s defense. I will focus on scheme, Tom on the players.
Today, scouting the Cleveland Browns’ defense.
ALEX’S SCHEME REPORT
BROWNS’ RUN DEFENSE
A very stout group and a unit that isn’t talked about enough. Really strong numbers across the board. The 3.5 YPC they’re allowing is 2nd best, their five touchdowns tied for 7th best, while they’ve allowed just ten runs of 10+ yards, easily the best mark in the league.
