Five Things to Watch in Packers-Browns 

1. Myles Garrett vs. Everyone 

In his ninth season, all of which has been spent with the Browns, defensive end Myles Garrett is still one of the strongest and most dominant players in the NFL, just as he has been for nearly a decade now. He is off to a hot start once again, tied for the league lead in sacks with 3.5 and leading the league in tackles for losses with six. 

“He’s a very good player, you’re exactly right,” offensive line coach Luke Butkus said. “But when it comes down to it, it’s about us. It’s about our play style.”

Garrett mostly lines up across from the left tackle, and the Packers have a strong one with Rasheed Walker, but Garrett no doubt will get his chance against whoever lines up at right tackle, either injured starter Zach Tom or rookie Anthony Belton.

Aside from Garrett, the Browns’ defensive front has been nearly silenced for the first two games of the season. Without his production, the Browns have just two sacks, not counting the sack he shared with Cameron Thomas, and seven TFLs. 

The Packers’ offensive line has been able to take opposing team’s best pass rushers out of games, such as Detroit’s Aidan Hutchinson in Week 1 and Washington’s Daron Payne in Week 2, both of whom had no sacks or TFLs. Look for them to focus heavily on Garrett and have him double teamed on most passing plays. 

2. Jordan Love’s Deep Ball 

While he’s had a few completed deep throws this season, such as a 48-yard pass to Romeo Doubs in Week 1 and a 57-yard pass play to Tucker Kraft in Week 2, Jordan Love’s deep-ball accuracy has left something to be desired. 

Most notably, he missed two deep passes to rookie Matthew Golden last week against the Commanders, one of which was a sure touchdown and the other had the makings of a touchdown unless Golden was caught from behind, which is unlikely with his speed. 

Love has been known to take risks when it comes to pushing the ball downfield, and while he has done a great job at protecting the ball, having yet to commit a turnover, he has missed some opportunities this season. 

“We were close on a couple,” Love said on Wednesday. “I’m always trying to put it out there for them, let them go get it, but it’s a game of inches. We were right there.”

The Browns’ secondary is the perfect candidate to get Love back on track. They were picked apart last week by Lamar Jackson and the Ravens, giving up four touchdowns through the air, including connections of 15, 23 and 24 yards.

With the Browns defense having so many holes and Love being a known risk taker, expect him to try to push the ball down the field early and get on the board. 

3. The Battle in the Trenches 

The Browns are seemingly the perfect opponent for the Packers’ defense, which has been so dominant already. The Packers come into Week 3 tied for second in the NFL in sacks and tied for eighth in the NFL in tackles for losses. Browns quarterback Joe Flacco has been sacked only four times but he’s one of the most immobile passers in the league.
