-
Sheldon Richardson had a tackle for a loss and a sack in the red zone at one point of the game, which helped hold Cincinnati to a field goal. Similarly, Bryan Cox had a sack on a 1st-and-goal play from the 2 yard line that helped keep the Bengals to a field goal. The Browns’ defensive line may not have gotten a consistent push, but there were a few timely plays like that.
- Per PFF, “Larry Ogunjobi was a problem for Cincinnati’s offensive line in the run game, consistently defeating blocks and affecting the play, making a number of stops for short gains.” Ogunjobi led the Browns with 9 tackles and had 3 quarterback hits.

- Teams continue to pick on Greedy Williams, and I’m not seeing much of an improvement.
-
Denzel Ward had a pick six fall into his lap as he was dropped back on a 3rd-and-long play. Hopefully that helps him step up his aggressiveness in having a nose for the ball again.
