The predictive model expects the Cleveland Browns to be the 2nd-most run-heavy team among all teams this week with a 48.0% run rate, accounting for their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
The Cleveland Browns have called the most plays in football this year, totaling a massive 66.9 plays per game.
Jerome Ford has been much more involved in his offense’s running game this season (38.5% Carry Share in games he has been on the field) than he was last season (1.9%).
With a fantastic total of 51.0 adjusted yards per game on the ground (78th percentile), Jerome Ford has been as one of the best pure runners in the NFL this year.
This year, the poor Broncos run defense has been torched for a whopping 165.0 adjusted yards per game on the ground to opposing offenses: the worst in the league.
Cons
Accounting for their underlying tendencies and game dynamics, the Cleveland Browns are predicted by the predictive model to call only 63.5 offensive plays in this contest: the 7th-lowest number on the slate this week.
