Browns' Defense Should Stifle the Broncos' Offensive Attack

Cleveland's defense continues to be historic in what they are accomplishing this season. Through 10 games they have given up just 2,433 yards, 230 yards less than the next best defense.

Sunday is yet another great opportunity for them to shut down an offense that isn't great but has been playing better over the past month.

The Denver offense is led by star QB Russell Wilson. Wilson has had a forgettable start to his tenure in Denver in 2022 but has turned a corner this season. He's playing really good football and even though the Broncos' got off to a slow start is wasn't due to Wilson.

So far on the year, Wilson is completing nearly 70 percent of his passes for 2,065 yards good for 19 touchdowns and only four interceptions. The best way to describe his play is incredibly efficient. He hasn't been making very many mistakes with the ball and is doing a great job of managing this team.

His favorite target this season has been wide receiver Courtland Sutton. Sutton is having a resurgence this season as he on pace to be really close to eclipsing 1,000 yards on the season. He has had 42 catches on the year and has hauled in eight touchdowns including the game-winner last week.

The Broncos' rushing attack on the other hand leaves a lot to be desired. Javonte Williams leads the charge for Denver averaging roughly 56 yards per game on the ground. When he needs it, he is spelled by Jaleel McLaughlin who gives his team around 26 yards every game.

While Cleveland received word today that Denzel Ward is OUT for Sunday's game, the Browns secondary still has the tools to shut this passing attack down. If they are able to take Courtland Sutton out of the game they will force Denver to try and beat them on the ground.

Like the Browns have done all year, if they are able to control the pace and tempo of the game they will have a chance to run away with this one on Sunday.
