The Cleveland Browns had a rough time on defense against the Tennessee Titans, and the PFF grades did a good job of displaying this.
Linebacker Devin Bush led all Cleveland Browns defenders with an elite 90.3 overall PFF grade. Along with his interception in a 91.8 PFF coverage grade, it was one of his best games of the 2025 season. Joining him was fellow linebacker Carson Schwesinger, this time impressing with an 81.6 overall grade. Despite only collecting one sack, star defensive end Myles Garrett also ended up with a solid performance, finishing with an 83.7 overall grade.

Unfortunately for the Browns’ defense, these were the only three players to earn a PFF grade that was 80.0 or better. The team still showed a lot of promise and potential against the Titans, but they’ll need to do a much better job both on the field and in PFF grades if they want a chance against the Chicago Bears. Hopefully, they can turn some of these grades into a better performance when they head to Chicago this Sunday.
Now, let’s take a look at the Browns’ top graded defenders after their tough loss to the Tennessee Titans:
