The Cleveland Browns defeated the Chicago Bears, improving to a 2-1 record. Here's a comprehensive analysis of their performance:

The Good:

Dominant Defense

  • Held Chicago to just 6 points
  • Recorded 9 sacks (Myles Garrett: 4.5)
  • Limited Justin Fields to 1 net passing yard, 6 completions, and 5.8 QBR
  • Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah showed elite linebacker play
  • Jadeveon Clowney complemented Garrett effectively

Kareem Hunt's Stellar Performance

  • 81 rushing yards and 1 TD on 10 attempts
  • 74 receiving yards on 6 catches
  • Most impressive Browns performance to date
  • Complemented Nick Chubb's 84 yards on 22 carries

The Bad:

Chicago Bears' Struggles

  • Poor offensive line protection
  • Limited opportunities for Justin Fields
  • Coaching concerns under Matt Nagy
  • Overall offensive ineffectiveness

The Ugly:

Browns Offensive Line Issues

  • Baker Mayfield sacked 5 times (9 total this season)
  • Jedrick Wills struggling with injuries
  • Joel Bitonio: 2 penalties
  • Jack Conklin: 1 penalty
  • Room for improvement before Vikings game

Despite being considered one of the NFL's best offensive lines, protection issues need addressing as the Browns prepare to face Minnesota.
