It's Not the Defense

On a positive note, I did catch a glimpse of Germaine Pratt executing some good coverage in the end zone.  He might be a positive, going forward.

The defense was terrible on 3rd down. How many 3rd and long conversions did they allow?

There was a 3rd and 19 that the Browns converted. There were several other long ones.

Once again, this isn't a Top 5 offense that is gashing them. You can't give up 3rd and long consistently and win.

So while the offense was a bigger problem than the defense...the defense is still an issue.
