The Cleveland Browns came out firing in their showdown with the New York Jets, delivering a performance that has fans buzzing — and analysts taking notice. It wasn’t just about the scoreboard; it was about the tone, the grit, and the momentum shift Cleveland created in all three phases of the game.
📈 Stock Up:
Jerome Ford — The young running back continues to prove he’s more than a fill-in. His burst through the gaps and ability to create yards after contact gave the Browns the balance they needed.
Myles Garrett — Another week, another masterclass. Garrett’s pressure on the Jets’ offensive line forced rushed throws and disrupted rhythm from start to finish.
Joe Flacco — The veteran’s calm presence and sharp decision-making steadied the Browns’ offense, especially in crucial third-down moments. He’s showing there’s still gas left in the tank.
📉 Stock Down:
Zach Wilson (Jets) — It’s getting harder to defend him. The accuracy issues, poor field vision, and lack of confidence continue to drag New York’s offense backward.
Jets Offensive Line — Overwhelmed and outplayed. They gave Wilson no time, and the run lanes were non-existent against Cleveland’s dominant front.
Garrett Wilson — A victim of poor quarterback play. Despite his effort, the chemistry with Zach Wilson remains out of sync, limiting his impact.
The Browns are trending up — way up — as the postseason picture takes shape. The Jets, meanwhile, are staring at some hard truths. If this game was a measuring stick, it showed just how far apart these two teams really are.
