Browns vs Vikings: 5 players who should determine outcome in Week 4

5. Browns LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah

When you think about the Browns’ defense, JOK’s name probably isn’t the first that comes to mind. Not when Myles Garrett is adding 4.5-sack efforts to his resume.

But JOK’s stock is rising. He was nominated for the defensive rookie of the week after a terrific performance against the Bears, in which he  tallied a half-sack, two passes defensed and four tackles. This outing was reminiscent of JOK’s first preseason game, when he was pretty much in the camera shot all the time. In the action, that’s how we should all want our linebackers.

He’s started two of the Browns first three games and played the most defensive snaps out of any Cleveland linebacker last week. The Browns love his speed and that’s why he’s so important against the Vikings.

Can he pug the holes on Cook runs? Can he cover the tight end? Doing these things will be critical on Sunday, and he’s certainly capable of getting the job done.
