RUSH DEFENSE

-

The Ravens looked discombobu­lated on a first-quarter scoring drive by the Browns, surrenderi­ng long runs to Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. But they didn’t allow a run longer than 10 yards the rest of the game. They weren’t satisfied allowing Cleveland to average 5.1 yards per carry. Patrick Queen had eight tackles and forced a fumble but received a below-average grade on run D from Pro Football Focus.

Houston didn’t have many answers for Chiefs rookie Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who ran for 138 yards on 25 carries in his debut. Linebacker­s Zach Cunningham and Benardrick McKinney both struggled. Five-time All-Pro defensive end J.J. Watt remains the best run stopper on Houston’s front seven. The Texans ranked 25th in run defense last season, allowing opponents to average 4.8 yards per carry.
