Cleveland's biggest weakness has been their offense, checking in at #28 in the league with a mere 282 yards per game. A big part of their failure has been the quality (or lack thereof) of their rushing attack, which has been #3-worst in football with just 3.6 yards per carry. In failing to successfully establish the run, Cleveland has also had trouble moving the ball through the air, averaging a paltry 5.81 yards per target, which ranks them #32 in football. In terms of their defense, the Browns have ranked #17 in the league in total yards allowed per game. Opposing offenses have passed for 222 yards per game through the air against them (#18 in football). On the ground, opposing ball-carriers have ranked #10 with 4.82 yards per carry. Cleveland has been most effective in shutting down opposing tight ends, holding them to 35 yards per game (#2-best). Cleveland has been least effective in shutting down opposing wide receivers, giving up 8.71 yards per target (#6-worst).

New Orleans's primary disadvantage has been their defense, which has allowed a monstrous 392 yards per game this year, sliding them into the #5 spot among the league's worst. Much of their struggle has come in trying to shut down the run game, as they've allowed opposing ball-carriers to rush for the #2-most yards per carry: 5.38. That kind of ineffectiveness has also leached over to their pass defense, which has landed them in the #25 spot in terms of yards per target (8). Saints defensive tackles are perhaps most responsible for their dismal run defense this year, given that they grade out as the #1-worst unit in the NFL. When it comes to their offense, the Saints check in at #22 in football when it comes to total yards per game. Their passing game has compiled 209 yards per game (#22 in football). Their run game has ranked #16 with 4.13 yards per attempt on the ground.
