Positive signalMatchup

Rodgers thrived on short passes vs. Saints' single-high; expect similar success vs. Browns.

Despite being statistically the worst quarterback in football against single-high looks this season, Rodgers found success against the Saints' single-high coverage (21-of-24 for 178 yards). On short passes (0-9 yards downfield), Rodgers went 11-of-14 for 107 yards and finished ninth among all quarterbacks when facing single-high looks. The Browns will deploy similar single-high coverage as the Saints, and if Pittsburgh executes the quick and short passing game effectively, it will force Cleveland to unpin its ears and open up the entire offense.
