Wilson and Tate ran more routes from the slot against the Browns than their average against any other team. Flowers already operates from the inside on 48% of his snaps, so not much change there for him. Second, in-breaking routes were the primary weapon. All three ran crossers or hitches on over 55% of their targets. Bernard's already at a 42% in-breaking route rate in three games as a starter, with over half of his routes coming from the slot.

Bernard's slot and in-breaking route profile aligns with how Browns have been exploited.

Bernard faces the Browns in a divisional rematch where he wasn't featured in Week 4, but the matchup has evolved. Over the past three weeks, the Browns have allowed WR1s to succeed primarily through slot and in-breaking routes: Garrett Wilson (11-104-1, 3.06 YPRR), Zay Flowers (11-66-0, 1.94), and Carnell Tate (7-69-0, 2.23). Bernard already operates from the slot on over 50% of his routes with a 42% in-breaking route rate in three games as a starter, making him a key weapon if Pittsburgh adjusts its approach from Week 4.
