Prioritize the Run
The New York Jets’ rush defense has allowed 135.8 rushing yards per game this season, ranking them in the bottom quarter of the league. The Cleveland Browns’ run game has been underperforming this season, but this would be a prime opportunity to heavily involve Quinshon Judkins in the game plan and focus on the running attack.
Get pressure on the Jets QB
The Jets have not officially announced who will be starting at quarterback in this game. Regardless of whether Justin Fields or
Tyrod Taylor gets the nod, the Browns will need to apply pressure early and often. Their offensive line is vulnerable, and with the talented Cleveland defensive line, they should have no problem bringing pressure and potentially creating some turnovers.
Red Zone Conversion
The Browns’ offense has struggled in the red zone for the last few seasons, and that has greatly contributed to their inability to put more than 20 points on the board in any given week. It won’t matter how well the defense plays if the offense cannot put the ball in the end zone when it matters most. They will need to focus on the run in these situations or rely on their pass catchers to make plays.
