The Cleveland Browns are 3-13 and have a chance to pick first in the NFL Draft. Despite their Cinderella run to the playoffs last season, they took a significant step back this year. Part of the reason was the offense, which looked better with Joe Flacco last year than this year. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler and […]

The Cleveland Browns have been one of the most disappointing teams in the NFL in 2024. Cleveland is 3-13 heading int Week 18 and is still in the mix for the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. This disappointing season has caused some speculation about the future of the organization. It appears that […]

The Cleveland Browns are 3-13 with one game remaining in the 2024 NFL season, and although this is a franchise that has stumbled to 1-win and 0-win seasons within the last decade, it’s not a stretch to say that there hasn’t been more turmoil and ill-will toward the team in that time than there is […]

After being benched for Michael Penix Jr. late in 2024, it would not be a shock to see Kirk Cousins part ways with the Atlanta Falcons in the 2025 offseason. If that is the case, former coach Kevin Stefanski could look to bring him into the Cleveland Browns to compete with the struggling DeShaun Watson. […]

When the Cleveland Browns take the field one final time this season for a Week 18 showdown against the Baltimore Ravens, very little is on the line.

The Cleveland Browns offense took a big step back in Week 16, as they suffered a 24-6 defeat at the hands of the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Cleveland Browns continued their disappointing season in Week 16 with a loss against the Cincinnati Bengals, and some players are looking to the future. Earlier this week, Myles Garrett was asked about the future of the team and said that he wanted to win at the end of the day. Head coach Kevin Stefanski […]

At the start of the season, there were high hopes in Cleveland that the Browns would contend for a playoff spot and possibly make a run at the Pittsburgh Steelers or Baltimore Ravens for the AFC North title. Instead, quarterback Deshaun Watson had a disastrous season before he headed to the injured list (Achilles) and […]

For all intents and purposes, the Cleveland Browns’ 2024 season began before it even started. Saddled with an expensive, deteriorating, and wildly unpopular starting quarterback in Deshaun Watson, there was little hope that this season would yield any sort of positive result. Even after Watson went down with a season-ending achilles tear, the options behind […]

After being sent to the bench following a three-interception performance against the Kansa City Chiefs in Week 15, Jameis Winston lost his usual happy-go-lucky demeanor. That’s right, after spending weeks drawing headlines for his goofy comments and silly activities as much as his insane through-the-air feats, Winston was downright miffed while talking to reporters about […]

The Cleveland Browns are just trying to make it to the end of the season in tact after another loss dropped them to 3-11 on the season. This week, it was the mighty Kansas City Chiefs walking into Cleveland and coming out with a comfortable 21-7 victory. During the game, head coach Kevin Stefanski elected […]

As the Cleveland Browns get ready to face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15 head coach Kevin Stefanski made the unusual move of benching starting kicker Dustin Hopkins and going with a backup just over an hour before kickoff. “The Browns have made a kicking change for today’s game against the Chiefs. Dustin Hopkins […]

With Week 15 rapidly approaching, the Cleveland Browns have their toughest challenge on the books in the form of the Kansas City Chiefs and their dominant defensive lineman, Chris Jones. Now, for fans in Missouri, Jones’ dominance is nothing new, as Jones remains one of the most dominant rushers in the NFL, but that didn’t […]

The Cleveland Browns are once again standing at a familiar crossroads. After years of searching for stability at the most crucial position in football, the team finds itself grappling with yet another quarterback question. The prospect of Jameis Winston may be tantalizing to some Browns fans and decision-makers desperate for a spark. That said, committing […]

The Steelers defeated the visitors 27-14. Kicker Dustin Hopkins missed both of his field goal attempts in the loss. After his performance, Browns coach Kevin Stefanski defended him to the […]

When Azeez Al-Shaair leveled Trevor Lawrence with a concussion-inducing hit that sent the former onto the suspended list and the latter onto IR, it effectively served as an inflection point in the 2024 NFL season. Before the hit, everything was normal; the NFL treated fans to impressive two-way bouts, and it looked like defense was […]

The Cleveland Browns may have lost their Week 13 matchup against the Denver Broncos in a high-scoring 41-32 thriller, but they may have seen their quarterback of the future in Jameis Winston, who broke the Browns record for passing yards in a single game. Moreover, they also saw a career game from wideout Jerry Jeudy, […]

Soon, fans will get to see if Week 12 was a fluke, a tough going influenced by snow, or if the Browns, with Jameis Winston under center, simply have the Steelers’ number, […]

In Week 13’s edition of Monday Night Football, Jameis Winston turned in an incredible* performance. * minus throwing three interceptions, including two pick-6s. That’s right, in a game that almost wholly encapsulates the “Famous Jameis” experience,  Winston came just three yards short of 500 passing yards, tacking on four aerial touchdowns to that mark after […]

After securing a massive win in Week 12 over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday Night Football, the Cleveland Browns are still technically alive in the pursuit of a spot in the postseason, even if the chances of actually making it into January feel rather unlikely at 3-8 in the AFC North. And yet, in Week […]

The Cleveland Browns have enjoyed playing the role of spoiler over the last several weeks with gritty wins over the Baltimore Ravens and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

When the Cleveland Browns traded Za’Darius Smith and a 2026 seventh-round pick to the Detroit Lions for a 2025 fifth and a 2026 sixth-round pick, it left a hole on Jim Schwartz’s depth chart on the edge.

The Cleveland Browns held on to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night in Week 12.

Moreover, Browns coach Kevin Stefanski explained […]

In Week 11, Jameis Winston and the Cleveland Browns had very Jameis Winston and Cleveland Browns games.

After having an extra week to think about their loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9, the Cleveland Browns are back and ready for their latest challenge in the New Orleans Saints.
