  • Myles Garrett played his butt off again, forcing one sack and making some plays against the run too.
  • Jadeveon Clowney made his return to action, but played far fewer snaps than his previous game, only in on 36% of the snaps. There seemed to be an uptick in reps for rookie Isaiah Thomas, who also recovered the late fumble.

LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah 51 80% 5 tackles, 1 assist (6 combined). 1 TFL, 2 passes defended, 1 FF.
LB Sione Takitaki 36 56% 4 tackles, 3 assists (7 combined). 1 TFL, 1 QH.

LB Jacob Phillips 31 48% 7 tackles (7 combined).
LB Justin Kunaszyk 1 2% No stats registered.
  • Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah had his best performance of the 2022 season, looking like his rookie form, as he graded out to a 90.6 by PFF. He had the forced fumble near the end of the game that gave Cleveland a chance to come back.
  • Unfortunately, Jacob Phillips suffered a pectoral injury during the game, and will miss the rest of the season. Deion Jones made his debut after being acquired by the Falcons, but had a grade of 36.2, per PFF.

Cornerback

CB Greg Newsome 63 98% 1 tackle (1 combined).
CB Martin Emerson 63 98% 4 tackles (4 combined). 1 sack, 1 TFL, 1 QH.
CB Greedy Williams 14 22% 2 tackles, 1 assist (3 combined).
  • The cornerbacks didn’t seem to be targeted much, which is one of the reasons that Greg Newsome only had one tackle on the day.
  • Martin Emerson continues to be that player who plays tight coverage, gets his hand nearly in the way, and the ball just slips in right to the receiver. I’m still pleased with his rookie effort.
