as they sit with a 2-2 record. The defensive unit is a hot topic among the league after through four weeks, as they rank first in passing yards allowed per game , fifth in rushing yards allowed , and fifth in opponent points allowed .
The Browns allowed a total of 261 yards between the three games, though it’s interesting how it’s divided. The defense allowed two rushing touchdowns and seven rushing first downs. But the Ravens run game also totaled more yards against the Browns than the Bengals and Steelers did combined . That is what is important about the Browns defense allowing an average of 17.3 passing yards in the first quarter. Cincinnati and Pittsburgh finished the first period under 25 passing yards, while Baltimore finished in single digits .
Against the divisional foes, the defense has allowed 10 third-down conversions out of 41 attempts. This translates to a 24.39%, which sits atop the rankings for lowest opponent third-down conversion rate. As a unit that finished last season ranked 17th in this category , it’s a big improvement.We know the Browns defense hates to give up first downs, but when they do, the opposing offenses are forced to do so in the air.
Because of the importance for grabbing divisional wins when possible, consistency is key for this defense. Especially after things went left when meeting these teams for a second time a year prior.Pre bye-week, they allowed 2.3 third-quarter points on average between the three games. But post-bye week week, the defense broke down even easier, with the average increasing to 5.6 third-quarter points allowed.
