The Cleveland Browns didn’t find much success on the field on Sunday.
Their desire to play spoiler vs. the defending back-to-back Super Bowl champions was short-lived.
The Kansas City Chiefs were the better team from start to finish, handing the Browns their 11th loss of the season.
Even so, there were a few bright spots on the team.
While only two players had PFF grades of 80 or higher, the PFF still shared their list of the five highest-graded players in the loss.
Jordan Hicks (70.8), Jerry Jeudy (79.2), and Isaiah McGuire (79.7) were ranked No. 5, No. 4, and No. 3 respectively.
Juan Thornhill had a solid outing vs. his former team, logging an 83.3 grade.
Then, unsurprisingly, we find the one and only Myles Garrett, who had a grade of 90.0 despite the loss.
The highest-graded Browns in Week 15 vs the Chiefs:

Garrett’s availability for the upcoming game will be something to keep an eye on.
The star defensive end was poked in the eye, and he admitted to being in a lot of pain.
Garrett didn’t want to rule himself out of the upcoming game immediately, but he admitted that he would be cautious and go to the doctor to pursue a course of action.
The Browns are no longer in playoff contention, so they might want to err on the side of caution with their franchise player.
Garrett is a crucial piece of this team, and there’s no point in risking further injury in the season when there’s nothing else to play for.
