Below, we analyze the snap counts and stats on offense for the Cleveland Browns' Week 16 game against the San Diego Chargers.
Quarterback
| Pos | Player | Plays | % | Stats |
| QB | Robert Griffin III |
61 | 86% | 17-of-25 (68.0%) for 164 yards. 6 rushes, 42 yards. |
| QB | Cody Kessler |
10 | 14% | 2-of-3 (66.7%) for 11 yards. |
We saw glimpses of Griffin getting more comfortable in the offense, which sees him mixing the run with some more accurate passes. Unfortunately, he struggled at his "strength" again, which is the deep ball. Passes to Coleman and Hawkins were caught, but out of bounds. He drew several roughing the passer calls. In the fourth quarter, though, the risk of taking off one too many times came to light as he had to leave with a concussion. Kessler came in and wasn't given much to do except play safe on third down throws. He got one completion to Coleman, which helped bleed the clock some more.
Running Back
| Pos | Player | Plays | % | Stats |
| RB | Isaiah Crowell | 38 | 54% | 16 carries, 54 yards, 3.4 avg, 2 TDs. 4 catches, 4 yards (5 targets). |
| RB | Duke Johnson | 33 | 46% | 7 carries, 28 yards, 4.0 avg. 2 catches, 21 yards (2 targets). |
| RB | Dan Vitale |
12 | 17% | 1 catch, 15 yards (1 target). |
Crowell had 8 carries for 34 yards in the first half and 8 carries for 20 yards in the second half. I guess we can't say they gave up on the run. Johnson had 3 carries for -1 yards in the first half before getting 4 carries for 29 yards in the second half. Crowell's yards per catch was very low. Johnson had a sick move on one of his grabs that forced two defenders to collide with each other. For the second straight week, Vitale had a nice catch-and-run up the sideline.
Wide Receiver
| Pos | Player | Plays | % | Stats |
| WR | Terrelle Pryor | 66 | 93% | 3 catches, 36 yards (5 targets). |
| WR | Corey Coleman | 61 | 86% | 2 catches, 15 yards (5 targets). |
| WR | Andrew Hawkins | 41 | 58% | 1 catch, 21 yards (2 targets). |
| WR | Rashard Higgins |
10 | 14% | 0 catches (1 target). |
| WR | Ricardo Louis |
3 | 4% | No stats registered. |
Overall, it was a quiet game for the Browns' wide receivers. Pryor had one contested pass that he might have caught had it not been for his finger injury. Coleman and Hawkins both made catches in the end zone that were out of bounds, to no fault of their own.
Tight End
| Pos | Player | Plays | % | Stats |
| TE | Gary Barnidge | 68 | 96% | 5 catches, 42 yards (6 targets). |
| TE | Randall Telfer | 14 | 20% | No stats registered. |
| TE | Seth DeValve | 7 | 10% | 1 catch, 21 yards (1 target). |
Even though he didn't rack up touchdowns, this was a game that was reminiscent of last year for Barnidge. Griffin was able to stick the ball on him in tight windows and he safely secured the pass for some under-the-radar conversions. DeValve had a great catch up the seam to help set up a touchdown, but it unfortunately took him out of the game.
Offensive Line
| Pos | Player | Plays | % | Stats |
| OL | Joe Thomas | 71 | 100% | |
| OL | Spencer Drango |
71 | 100% | |
| OL | Cameron Erving | 71 | 100% | |
| OL | Jonathan Cooper |
71 | 100% | |
| OL | Austin Pasztor | 71 | 100% | |
| OL | Shon Coleman |
2 | 3% |
The Browns allowed 9 sacks and 12 quarterback hits. The numbers on hits to the quarterback continue to get uglier. Some of that is on the quarterback play, but the overall, there are clearly issues on the line. The most stable player was Thomas, and although Joey Bosa beat Pasztor inside once, I thought he actually held his own for most of the afternoon. The interior of the line was the issue.
