What Each Team Does Well and Where It Has Problems
Chicago Bears
What Chicago Does Best
Big plays are a real part of Chicago's offense. Caleb Williams drives the 86.5 Explosiveness grade, while Rome Odunze and Colston Loveland give defenses more than one matchup to track.
What Chicago Needs to Fix
Montez Sweat and Jaylon Johnson give Chicago proven players on defense. The unit is still Chicago's lowest-rated area at 77.8. It still needs to create pressure without giving up easy throws outside.
Cleveland Browns
What Cleveland Does Best
Jared Verse gives Cleveland a defense that can take over stretches of a game. The 84.2 Defense grade belongs to a unit that can create stops without waiting for the offense to build a lead.
What Cleveland Needs to Fix
Cleveland is asking Jerry Jeudy to create too much the hard way. The 63.7 Explosiveness grade leaves the offense needing too many long drives to score.
PFM ANALYSIS
What the PFM Numbers Say
Chicago's biggest advantage is simple: Caleb Williams is the more settled quarterback, while Cleveland is still figuring out who should run the offense. The big-play numbers tell the same story. Chicago leads Explosiveness by 22.8 points and creates quick points more often.
Cleveland can make this a fight on defense, with Jared Verse leading the way. Even so, Chicago has the better setup because its advantages at quarterback and in big-play ability point in the same direction.
