The Cleveland Browns offense had another struggling performance against the New York Giants in Week 3 outside of a bounce-back performance from wide receiver Amari Cooper.
Head coach Kevin Stefanski and his offense are again facing injury trouble along with ground and pass production to start the year. Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson is still struggling to find his consistency in this offense, which has caused offensive production to stall in some of the team’s biggest moments. The rollercoaster of Watson’s performances has left the offense struggling to find their identity in the absence of Nick Chubb. Some of the biggest issues on the offense are rooted around the players up front.
The offensive line has not only suffered many injuries but also has performed terribly in the absence of some of their best players. This left the New York Giants defense able to blitz Watson and easily disrupt the pass and ground game for Cleveland. The PFF grades from Week 3’s performance show where the offense is struggling and what must change immediately.
