Shocking stat proves how dominant Browns defense is

It has been quite the start for Cleveland's defense, proving their acquisition of new defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz was a great one and maybe the best all offseason.

The Browns' addition of Schwartz was the first hire of the cycle, which may have multiple teams kicking themselves after watching what he's done with his new defense.

Cleveland's defense was in the middle of the league last season, allowing 331.2 yards per game in 2022. Schwartz has clearly brought its defense to another level in 2023 by using some of his players out of their normal positions.

DE Myles Garrett has played several snaps at inside linebacker, which has confused defenses. The four-time Pro Bowler has 4.5 sacks and a forced fumble through the first three games of the season.

They say that defense wins championships. If the Browns defense can continue playing the way it has, the team may just hoist its franchise's first Lombardi trophy by season's end.

Cleveland (2-1) hosts the Ravens (2-1) in Week 4 in what will likely be a defensive divisional battle.
