TexansThe Cleveland Browns will face the Houston Texans on January 13 at NRG Stadium.
The following is the unofficial depth chart for the first round of the playoffs against the Texans at NRG Stadium.
Kick-off is set for 4:30 p.m. EST, and the game can be seen on NBC. CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Browns offense was inconsistent in Sunday’s 31-14 loss to Cincinnati.
Here’s how the offense was graded according to Pro Football Focus:(PFF grades each player for each play and uses a scale of 0 to 100, with higher numbers indicating better play.
PFF explained its grades this way: 100-90 elite; 89-85 Pro Bowler; 84- 70 starter; 69 – 60 reserve; 59 – 0 expendable.
In other words, it’s similar to how we compare percentages to traditional letter grades in school.)

Cleveland coach Kevin Stefanski rested most of his starters in a 31-14 loss to Cincinnati on Sunday. The Browns will face AFC South champion Houston in the wild card round on Saturday.
Cleveland (11-6) was the AFC’s No. 5 seed and played the regular season with backups before making its second playoff appearance in the last 21 seasons.
“This is what you work for,” Browns defensive end Ogbo Okoronkwo said. “These are the days you dream of. It feels good to put yourself in position to win the big game.
Quarterback Joe Flacco, star defensive end Myles Garrett, receiver Amari Cooper and cornerback Denzel Ward were among the Browns starters who were ruled out Sunday.
“When you watch these games, it’s about what’s best for your football team,” Stefanski said. “I knew what this game was, a great opportunity for the kids to get some reps.”
