Going in-depth with the Cleveland Browns top-10 offensive players of Week 6.
Uncharacteristically, it was an underwhelming day for the Cleveland Browns' defense against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Cleveland’s defense managed to have another unsuccessful performance on the Steelers' home turf and against quarterback Aaron Rodgers. In this matchup, defensive end Myles Garrett had a strong showing despite a limited impact on the box score. He had a 77.2 overall grade in this matchup against the Steelers. Joining him on the defensive line once again was defensive tackle Maliek Collins. He surprisingly impressed once again with a 74.2 overall grade.
The other star playmakers of this group were the Browns' linebackers. Devin Bush led this unit with a 75.7 overall grade, including an 81.5 tackling grade against Pittsburgh. Joining him was linebacker Jerome Baker, who managed to have solid production in his 18 total snaps with a 68.9 overall grade. Overall, there were many disappointing performances from the Browns' defense, but they live to fight another day against a weaker offensive opponent in the Miami Dolphins next week.
