It was just another day at the office for the elite defensive unit of the Cleveland Browns against the Chicago Bears at home. Once again dominant, they were led by defensive end Myles Garrett and defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson.
If the offense didn’t turn the ball over three times, once for a touchdown and another inside the five, this could have been another game with single-digit points allowed.
The Browns’ pass rush had Justin Fields running for his life all day as they totaled a ridiculous 37 pressures in this game. Though Myles Garrett didn’t record a sack he had 11 quarterback pressures alone with a total of 11 different players recording at least one pressure.
Jim Schwartz and his crew have got to figure out how to duplicate this performance on the road where they have struggled as of late. With control of the Wild Card ace, they have to bring their best to Houston next week against the Texans. Here are the top 10 performances from the defense according to PFF.
