Packers Focus on Myles Garrett as Browns' Defense Presents Week 3 Test
Cleveland's unit ranks near the top by advanced metrics despite an 0-2 start.
Overview
- Jordan Love praised the Browns as a sound, disciplined defense with continuity in the secondary and strong run fits.
- Myles Garrett has four sacks and nine pressures through two games, prompting Green Bay to plan extra help with chips and double-teams.
- Jim Schwartz’s group is elite by efficiency, including first in rush yards per attempt allowed, and it leans heavily on man coverage, especially Cover 1.
- Green Bay’s protection plan could hinge on health up front, with Aaron Banks expecting to play and right tackle Zach Tom still uncertain.
- Scoreboard damage against Cleveland includes 31 of 58 points set up by turnovers or special teams, yet national predictions largely side with the Packers.
