The Cleveland Browns, led by a revitalized Joe Flacco, are on the cusp of a playoff berth as they gear up to face the New York Jets in a Thursday night showdown. While Flacco has garnered attention for the Browns’ recent successes, the team’s defense is a force to be reckoned with, allowing the fewest yards per game in the league at just 260.3. They boast top-10 rankings in both passing and rushing yards allowed per game, anchored by veteran defensive end Myles Garrett, who has racked up 13 sacks and forced four fumbles, both placing him among the league’s top-10 performers.
Facing this formidable Cleveland defense is a struggling Jets offense that has grappled with quarterback rotations due to Aaron Rodgers’ absence. With Zach Wilson, Trevor Siemian, and Tim Boyle in the mix, Siemian started the most recent game against the Commanders, while Wilson was sidelined with a concussion. Second-year running back Breece Hall showcased his prowess in the previous game with an impressive 191 total yards and two dynamic touchdowns. The Jets will heavily rely on Hall’s performance against the tough Cleveland defense to improve their chances.
