How Deshaun Watson, Nick Chubb and the rest of the Browns offense graded vs. the Texans

CLEVELAND, Ohio- The Browns offense struggled in Sunday’s 27-14 win over the Houston Texans.

Here’s how the defense graded, according to Pro Football Focus:

(PFF grades every player on every play and uses a scale of 0-100, with higher grades indicating better play. PFF has explained its grades this way: 100-90 elite; 89-85 Pro Bowler; 84-70 starter; 69-60 backup; 59-0 replaceable. In other words, it’s similar to how we would match up percentages with traditional letter grades in school.)

NOTE: Snap counts in parentheses.
