Jordan Palmer: Browns Performance 'More to do With Cleveland Than Cincinnati'

Cincinnati gave up nearly 20 pressures to the Browns defense on Sunday.

CINCINNATI — Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was under fire throughout Cincinnati's 24-3 loss to Cleveland this past Sunday to the tune of 17 pressures.

According to Pro Football Focus, edge rushers Myles Garrett and Za'Darius Smith each contributed six of those marks and were a big reason why Burrow's throwing coach, former NFL quarterback Jordan Palmer, isn't worried about Cincinnati.

Burrow trains with Palmer in the offseason.

"When I do watch the tape, I think that that had more to do with Cleveland than Cincinnati," Palmer said on The Herd with Colin Cowherd. "I think in a month, we're going to be talking about that pass rush the same way we're talking about Dallas right now. We're actually going to be talking about Za'Darius Smith is that right? The new addition right? That addition, he's not Jadeveon Clowney. He's a game wrecker."

Cincinnati had a ton of trouble with the exotic rush looks Cleveland's new front and new defensive coordinator, Jim Schwartz, employed.

That, plus the poor weather and timely plays in coverage, led to a fantastic performance from the Browns defense. Cincinnati turns around for the home opener this Sunday against Baltimore at 1 p.m. ET.
