PITTSBURGH — The Browns defense was solid until the second half during Sunday’s 23-9 loss to the Steelers.
Here’s how the defense graded according to Pro Football Focus:
(PFF grades every player on every play and uses a scale of 0-100, with higher grades indicating better play. PFF has explained its grades this way: 100-90 elite; 89-85 Pro Bowler; 84-70 starter; 69-60 backup; 59-0 replaceable. In other words, it’s similar to how we would match up percentages with traditional letter grades in school.)
