The Cleveland Browns host the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, December 7 at Huntington Bank Field in a matchup that pits one of the best defenses in the NFL against one of the least productive offenses in the league. The game is part of Week 14.
Cleveland comes in with a marked duality: it is the second worst offense in the NFL with just 258 yards per game, but at the same time boasts the second best defense, allowing just 271.3 yards per game. Tennessee, on the other hand, faces a more complicated scenario, ranking last in the league in points scored (14.2 per game) and fourth worst in points allowed (27.3).
Recent history: slight advantage for Tennessee
In the last three head-to-head meetings, the Titans dominate the series with two wins over Cleveland, scoring 58 points for and 49 against. However, the current situation of both teams marks a clear contrast that could tip the balance this Sunday.
An elite defense against an attack in crisis
Browns: top defense, limited offense
Cleveland’s season has been defined by its defensive solidity, especially against the pass, where it ranks third in the NFL allowing just 169.9 passing yards per game. On offense, the numbers are more worrying:
- 159.5 passing yards per game (second worst in the league)
- 98.5 rushing yards per game (26th)
A key point will be the turnover margin: the Browns have forced 15 turnovers and given the ball away 15 times, putting them in a balance that keeps them in the middle of the pack.
Players to watch in Cleveland:
- Quinshon Judkins: 758 rushing yards and 7 TDs in 11 games.
- Dillon Gabriel: 937 yards, 7 TD, 2 INT and 59.5% completion percentage in nine games.
- Harold Fannin: 51 receptions, 505 yards and 3 TDs.
Titans: offensive crisis and vulnerable defense
Tennessee has struggled on both offense and defense. Their passing offense is the third worst in the NFL with 165.8 yards per game, and the ground game doesn’t improve: just 76.7 yards per game, the second worst mark in the league.
Defensively, the situation is also not encouraging, ranking low against the pass and the run.
The margin of losses also plays against them: -6, one of the worst in the league.Players to watch in Tennessee:
- Cameron Ward: 2,351 yards, 7 TD and 6 INT in 12 games.
- Tony Pollard: 582 yards and 2 TDs.
- Chimere Dike: 29 receptions, 260 yards and 2 TDs.
