Browns' Pass-Rush Matchup Rated No. 1 In Week 7

Browns' Pass-Rush Matchup Rated No. 1 In Week 7

one year ago

The Cleveland Browns defensive line has the most favorable matchup for rushing the opposing passer in Week 7, according to Pro Football Focus. The Browns' dominant defensive line has a 53% advantage against the subpar offensive line of the Indianapolis Colts. The Browns have the third-best pass rush grade this season. Their defense has limited opponents to the fewest points allowed all season and helped them pull upset wins over the San Francisco 49ers and the Cincinnati Bengals. On the other side of the ball, the Colts have had the tenth-best pass-blocking grade, but have allowed pressure on 28% of passing plays, and they just can't stand up to the combined force of Myles Garrett, Za'Darius Smith, Dalvin Tomlinson, and the rest of the Browns defense.
