Quarterback Joe Flacco and the passing attack of the Cleveland Browns continued their assault in Houston to get the team’s tenth win of the year against the Texans. The Flacco to wide receiver Amari Cooper combination was unstoppable this week as the veteran wide receiver broke the Browns’ single-game receiving yardage record.
It truly has been fun to watch the evolution of this offense with Flacco under center as Kevin Stefanski and his quarterback are completely on the same page. The usage of play-action and misdirection has been beautiful despite the run game not being able to get anything going the last few weeks.
When you have a QB with the arm talent of Flacco and an offensive player caller with the creativity of Stefanski you get a passing offense that puts up great numbers week in and week out.
Here are the top 10 offensive players, according to PFF, from the team’s dominant win over the Texans on Christmas Eve to get the team one step closer to the postseason.
