On the latest Terry’s Talkin’ podcast, cleveland.com columnist Terry Pluto and host David Campbell tackled this question, ranking the Browns rookies in order of performance.

I looked forward to the Patriots game and the 2026 NFL draft for a few days, but today I feel drawn to the past.

The Browns defense ranks No. 1 in rushing average, No. 2 in first downs per game, No. 3 in total yards per game and rushing yards per game, and is No. 4 in total yards per play. The Dolphins defense is No. 30 in total yards per game, rushing average and first downs per game, No. 31 in total yards per play and No. 32 in rushing yards per game.

The Patriots’ offensive line has a huge challenge ahead. The Browns are sacking quarterbacks on 9% of their dropbacks. That’s eighth best in the NFL. Patriots rookies Will Campbell and Jared Wilson are going to be tested. The Patriots need their pass protection unit to step up.

It’s hump day as we start sliding closer and closer to the weekend and football! Here’s what’s on my mind today.

There are 2 positions of need flying under the radar right now, and the Browns could target them at the trade deadline.

New England Patriots QB Drake Maye has had a great start to the season, but the Cleveland Browns defense believes they're up for the task.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson sends a strong message about his future ahead of his looming return from injury.
