Browns defense is on the verge of unraveling as a pervasive problem continues

Writer Jaleel Grandberry argues that the Cleveland Browns defense is at risk of unraveling due to an ongoing inability to stop the run. Despite helping Cleveland secure five wins this season, the defense struggled significantly during a 27-6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8, surrendering 200 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 33 carries.

Grandberry highlights that Cleveland has allowed over 125 rushing yards in five of eight games, including 141 yards against the Tennessee Titans in Week 7. In the loss to Pittsburgh, Jaylen Warren rushed for 102 yards and Rico Dowdle added 57 yards. The writer warns that overcompensating for the run could eventually compromise the entire defensive unit.
