CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - Looking for a reason why the Browns 2023 playoff-caliber defense regressed in 2024?

Bryan Knowles of FTN Fantasy told 19 News the biggest problem was the secondary.

Cleveland allowed 4 more points per game last season despite another All-Pro season from Myles Garrett.

That defense has now lost star linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah for the season (neck).

The team did spend its first 2 draft picks on defensive tackle Mason Graham and linebacker Carson Schwesinger.
