Browns' Pass-Rush Matchup Rated No. 1 In Week 7

The Cleveland Browns defensive line has the most favorable matchup for rushing the opposing passer in Week 7, according to Pro Football Focus. The Browns' dominant defensive line has a 53% advantage against the subpar offensive line of the Indianapolis Colts. The Browns have the third-best pass rush grade this season. Their defense has limited opponents to the fewest points allowed all season and helped them pull upset wins over the San Francisco 49ers and the Cincinnati Bengals. On the other side of the ball, the Colts have had the tenth-best pass-blocking grade, but have allowed pressure on 28% of passing plays, and they just can't stand up to the combined force of Myles Garrett, Za'Darius Smith, Dalvin Tomlinson, and the rest of the Browns defense.

Myles Garrett Has the Bengals' Number

Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett has a history of success against his Week 1 opponent, the Cincinnati Bengals. Last season, Garrett made 3.5 sacks and 7 QB hits in his two games against the Bengals. In his career, he has made 11.0 sacks in nine games against the Bengals. While the Bengals' offensive line has improved in recent years, it is still only average at best. Moreover, Bengals QB Joe Burrow goes down more often than other quarterbacks facing the same amount of pressure. His sack-to-pressure rate has typically been among the top half of the league. Myles Garrett and his new teammate on the other side of the defensive line, Za'Darius Smith, are both quality starts this week.
