The Browns had trouble containing the Chargers’ ground game during Sunday’s 30-28 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.
On 19 snaps, defensive end Isaac Rochell led the unit in overall defensive grading with an overall 85.4 rating, according to Pro Football Focus.
Defensive end Jadeveon Clowney led the unit with 78.3 rush-defense grading on 52 snaps, while linebacker Jacob Phillips led the way with a 83.0 tackle-rating.
Here’s how the rest of the defense graded:
(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.)
