4. Joel Bitonio

The Browns rushing attack was brutal because it could not sustain drives. I lumped the entire offensive line into that category, but truthfully, left guard Joel Bitonio played well.

Often the pulling the guard on runs, Bitonio recorded a grade of 87.1, according to PFF. That was, by far, the Browns best offensive grade.  Bitonio had a run blocking grade of 81.6, so he showed up.

The line didn’t allow a quarterback pressure, but here’s how the rest of the line graded out: Chris Hubbard, 79.0; Jack Conklin, 70.3; JC Tretter, 63.7; and Jedrick Wills Jr.,47.4. Hubbard recorded a run blocking grade of 72.3, while Jedrick Wills graded out with a mark of 39.6.

The Browns’ line could rightfully be questioned for being out-toughed by Las Vegas–with the exception of Bitonio.
