The Cleveland Browns’ defense had some good moments against the Vikings, but ultimately, I would consider it one of their worst performances of the season. My opinion of Carson Wentz is not the highest, and Minnesota was also missing several offensive lineman. Despite that, they put together three legitimate touchdown drives in the game, including the game-winning drive. The frustrating part as a fan is the fact that you see the defense shut them down almost entirely or forced turnovers on 8 of the 11 drives. So you have that mixed bag of being dominant, versus giving up the big score.
Below, we analyze the snap counts and stats on defense for the Cleveland Browns’ Week 5 game against the Minnesota Vikings.
