Not much went right for the Cleveland Browns in Sunday’s dreary 16-6 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. One thing that did: Cleveland’s pass protection.
The Browns offensive line had a stellar day in pass protection against the Raiders. They kept Baker Mayfield safe and sound in the rain and windy and soggy field conditions. Las Vegas did not register a sack of Mayfield in the game.
In fact, the Raiders didn’t record a single pressure or hurry on Mayfield. Per Pro Football Focus, it was the best performance by an offensive line in pass protection since 2013, ironically enough also by the Browns.
The #Browns team had a pass pro grade 95.9. This ties the 2nd best single game team pass pro grade in the PFF era only bested by the Browns in 2013. They didn't give up a single pressure.

It didn’t lead to a win and the offense did not play well, but don’t blame the pass protection.
