Below, we analyze the snap counts and stats on offense for the Cleveland Browns' Week 16 game against the Chicago Bears.
Quarterback
| Player | Plays | % | Stats |
|---|---|---|---|
| Player | Plays | % | Stats |
| DeShone Kizer | 59 | 100% | 18-of-36 for 182 yards, 2 INT. 3 rushes, 8 yards. |
- It was great to stack up DeShone Kizer and Mitchell Trubisky against each other in terms of development. While Trubisky still has a ways to go himself, he is much more polished than Kizer, working with what is honestly probably a lower-quality talent pool on offense.
- PFF says that Kizer struggled on passes that were 10 or more yards downfield, going 1-for-10 for 35 yards and 1 interception. On passes shorter than that, he was 17-of-23 for 147 yards.
Running Back
| Player | Plays | % | Stats |
|---|---|---|---|
| Player | Plays | % | Stats |
| Isaiah Crowell | 31 | 53% | 12 carries, 44 yards (3.7 YPC). 1 catch, -1 yard (4 targets). |
| Duke Johnson | 29 | 49% | 4 carries, 20 yards (5.0 YPC). 7 catches, 81 yards (7 targets). |
| Danny Vitale | 5 | 8% | No stats registered. |
| Matthew Dayes | 1 | 2% | 1 carry, 3 yards (3.0 YPC). |
- This is so bleeping ridiculous. Isaiah Crowell received 0 carries in the second half after getting 12 carries in the first half. In the second half, Duke Johnson had 2 carries. This was a 6-3 game at the half.
- Duke Johnson carved the Bears’ defense up as a receiver, and a set a franchise record for most receptions by a Browns running back. He’s on pace to finish the season with the team lead in receiving yards.
Wide Receiver
| Player | Plays | % | Stats |
|---|---|---|---|
| Player | Plays | % | Stats |
| Corey Coleman | 52 | 88% | 1 catch, 3 yards (6 targets). |
| Josh Gordon | 49 | 83% | 2 catches, 19 yards (8 targets). |
| Rashard Higgins | 43 | 73% | 2 catches, 20 yards (3 targets). 1 fumble. |
| Ricardo Louis | 9 | 15% | 1 catch, 35 yards (1 target). |
| Sammie Coates | 4 | 7% | No stats registered. |
- Those who shake their head in disappointment at Corey Coleman and Josh Gordon, I would say “don’t.” I think that’s how bad DeShone Kizer is most of the time. He can’t time these guys up, the ball placement is terrible, etc.
- Ricardo Louis made a nice catch-and-run on a deep post route before the end of the first half, setting up Cleveland’s lone score of the game. Rashard Higgins tried to make a highlight play, dodging tackles in open space, but ended up making a lowlight when he was tackled from behind and fumbled into the end zone.
Tight End
| Player | Plays | % | Stats |
|---|---|---|---|
| Player | Plays | % | Stats |
| David Njoku | 30 | 49% | 1 catch, 13 yards (3 targets). |
| Seth DeValve | 28 | 47% | 3 catches, 12 yards (4 targets). |
| Randall Telfer | 13 | 22% | No stats registered. |
| Matt Lengel | 1 | 1% | No stats registered. |
- The tight ends came up empty again. Cleveland might have to re-evaluate this position again in 2018, but again, it’s so tough to evaluate these units with such abysmal quarterback play.
Offensive Line
| Player | Plays | % | Stats |
|---|---|---|---|
| Player | Plays | % | Stats |
| Spencer Drango | 59 | 100% | |
| Joel Bitonio | 59 | 100% | |
| J.C. Tretter | 59 | 100% | |
| Kevin Zeitler | 59 | 100% | |
| Shon Coleman | 59 | 100% |
- The Browns only yielded one sack, but allowed 10 quarterback hits. Per PFF, J.C. Tretter, Kevin Zeitler, and Shon Coleman each allowed 3 pressures. They note that Zeitler struggled with a grade of 32.3, with especially bad run blocking.

I’m getting more antsy to fire Hue Jackson by the second. John Dorsey will make a lot of fans if he does that, but it would prevent the team from being able to coach the Senior Bowl for the second year in a row.
