Browns defeat Ravens 33-31, DE Myles Garrett wreaks havoc

Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett wreaked havoc on the Baltimore Ravens offensive line in week 10. Picking up one and half sacks and three tackles, Garrett was essential in helping the Browns force consecutive three-and-outs and pull the upset at M&T Bank Stadium .

Browns defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz was intentional in his play calling all afternoon. After playing soft coverage on Ravens wide receivers early on, Schwartz later began playing tight man-to-man schemes allowing the Browns pass rush ample time to collapse the pocket on quarterback Lamar Jackson.

 

Schwartz sequenced blitz concepts and and contain rush strategies to keep Jackson inside the pocket. When Jackson was able to escape, there seemed to be countless plays where Garrett hunted him down to make contact just after the pass. Garrett’s prowess was discussed early last week and Baltimore’s inability to contain him definitely swayed the momentum of the game in the latter stretch.
