-
Myles Garrett had to be frustrated that he didn’t get a sack, but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t generating pressure. He received the highest defensive grade with an 88.7. The Browns didn’t play a ton of defensive snaps, but his 44 snaps equated to 94% of the snaps, a much higher percentage than in recent weeks. He also was utilized on the other end again for at least a snap.
- What possessed Larry Ogunjobi on Sunday? This looked like the Ogunjobi who was a mauler to begin the season. Per PFF, he made 3 run stops in 15 run snaps, “earning the third-best run stop percentage (20.0) among qualifying Week 16 defensive tackles.”

- The Browns lost Denzel Ward late in the game to another concussion after another player had missed a tackle. With Ward back, Briean Boddy-Calhoun fell back to the back of the depth chart, with T.J. Carrie continuing to receiver the nickelback snaps.

- It was another good game for Jabrill Peppers, who logged a sack, two tackles for a loss, and made some plays in coverage. Damarious Randall didn’t get any interceptions this time around, but I’m dying to know what he had planned if he did.
