Pro Football Focus released its initial game grades for every Cleveland Browns player in the Week 1 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Despite the lopsided 38-6 loss, PFF did find a couple of Browns who performed at an elite level.
Right guard Wyatt Teller scored an outstanding 91.2 for the Browns. Not only does it top the Browns offensive scoring from PFF, but it makes Teller the highest-graded guard in the entire league through Sunday’s games.
Defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi also posted an elite score, grading out with a 94.5 on 31 snaps. That is also the highest score given to any defensive lineman from any weekend game via PFF.
On the full team level, the Browns fared surprisingly well overall. Cleveland’s team grade of 61.9 was higher than seven other teams, including the Washington Football Team, which won on Sunday. The Browns grade was propped up in part by an excellent tackling mark of 85.6, the second-highest of any team.
Tight end David Njoku also topped the 90.0 mark, earning a grade of 92.3 in his 17 snaps before leaving with a knee injury. That’s also the top score of any TE, though Njoku played less than 25% of the Browns snaps.
On the flip side, no team scored worse than the Browns on special teams. Others scoring terribly for Cleveland:
- Safety Andrew Sendejo – 30.9
- LB B.J. Goodson – 38.4
- CB Tavierre Thomas – 45.8
- WR Odell Beckham Jr. – 46.6
- TE Harrison Bryant – 50.5
