The Cleveland Browns are off to a 3-1 start and a big reason for that is their defense.

Led by Myles Garrett, the Browns defense held the Minnesota Vikings to only one touchdown in a 14-7 victory. Garrett has piled up five sacks over the last two games and is the front-runner to win Defensive Player of the Year honors.
