- DL: According to PFF, the Browns’ defensive line did a solid job against Cincinnati, led by Myles Garrett (87.2 grade). Also being highlighted is rookie Mike Hall (80.6) and Sam Kamara (76.6), Jowon Briggs (76.3), and Isaiah McGuire (70.2). McGuire has done a solid job shining, reminding me of Alex Wright’s breakout last year, during the second half of this season. He had the big sack/forced fumble in the fourth quarter.
- LB: Devin Bush was actually the Browns’ highest-graded defender, per PFF (91.9), although he was two snaps shy of being officially the top-graded player.
- CB: Cleveland didn't have the best play in the first half from their cornerbacks, as Joe Burrow was having success on third downs. They did, however, limit Ja'Marr Chase for much of the afternoon.
- S: Grant Delpit had one of his better games of the season, grading out to a 71.3 by PFF. Overall, the Browns continue to play four safeties with a mixture of reps as opposed to just their top two safeties.
