It wasn’t the smoothest offensive operation from the Browns, but they did enough to get the win. Some things you see helped in the two wins that weren’t a foregone conclusion a year ago: not turning the ball over and connecting on baskets. These things can possibly make the difference in these close games, and QB Deshaun Watson came in big times.
Cleveland converted 5 of 15 (33%) on its third downs, but lost 360 yards to 259 yards. The battle time for possession was fairly even, however, as Todd Monken maintained an even pass-run balance through the first few games.
Below, we analyze the snap counts and offensive stats from the Cleveland Browns’ Week 3 matchup against the Carolina Panthers.
Denzel Boston has been the Browns’ X receiver all season, playing over 90% of snaps in 11 and 12 personnel and the majority of snaps in 13 personnel, giving him a 91.1% snap rate on the season. Concepcion held a slight lead over Jeudy for second place through the first two weeks. Concepcion played 85.5% of snaps on 11 teams, but only 42.4% on 12 teams. Jeudy was playing 54.5% from 12 players, but only 69.6% from 11, losing a few snaps mainly to Tylan Wallace. This rotation left Concepcion at an instant rate of 67% and Jeudy at 60.6%.
