The Cleveland Browns defense gave up 27 points and almost 400 yards of offense in a Week 14 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, but a lot of individual players had good outings.
Defensive end Myles Garrett continued to stake his claim to win NFL Defensive Player of the Year, while cornerback Martin Emerson had two interceptions and four combined tackles. The Browns’ defense held strong for a second consecutive week and allowed just 82 rushing yards.
Here are Cleveland’s top-graded defensive players, according to Pro Football Focus.
