How many times the Browns used presnap motion during Sunday’s 21-15 loss to the Giants

CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Browns suffered a 21-15 loss to the Giants on Sunday afternoon at Huntington Bank Field.

Cleveland's offense has been a big storyline with a healthy Deshaun Watson at quarterback, the offseason moves which included hiring Ken Dorsey as offensive coordinator, and trading for wide receiver Jerry Jeudy.

One element some felt we could see more of in 2024 was pre-snap motion; though Dorsey's Bills offense finished 18th in pre-snap motion percentage (14.7%) in 2022, and Cleveland finished 31st (12.4%) in 2023.

Through 2024, the Browns had a 24.3% pre-snap motion percentage in Week 1, then a 49.2% pre-snap motion percentage in Week 2, per TruMedia.

Matching up against a Giants defense ranks 18th in passing yards allowed per game (205.5), and 28th in rushing yards allowed (163.0), how many times did the Browns use pre-snap motion in the loss?

Here's our unofficial count of times in which the Browns used pre-snap motion on Sunday:

  • On a first-and-10, the fifth play of the series, Amari Cooper ran from the left to the right side, and Watson found Jordan Akins for six yards.

    Unofficially, the Browns used pre-snap motion on seven plays during the game, and Elijah Moore was used for the motion in five of those plays.

    Which is also an interesting nugget since Moore was targeted only three times on Sunday, and caught two of those passes for 17 yards, including a 12-yard reception.

    None of the series' where Cleveland scored included pre-snap motion, as well.
