Led by Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, the linebacker room was serviceable despite missing a starter in this game. Starting linebacker Jordan Hicks was forced out of this game early on a surprising play fumble. He was listed as doubtful before kick-off.

Devin Bush was able to fill his spot with a total of four tackles and a productive day in the starting position.

Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah was once again the leading tackler for Cleveland’s defense. That’s the second time this season he’s finished with the most tackles on the team, finishing second in his other games. With the hopeful return of Jordan Hicks next week, the linebackers could be the position group to pull the defense out of this slump.
