Dawgs By Nature
During the season, Cleveland Browns fans vote in SB Nation Reacts to express their confidence level in the team or their thoughts on other topics.
The Browns are coming off a win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Although we have polled the fan confidence each week, the last time we reported it was two weeks ago, following the team’s loss to the Bears. In the week after that, when Cleveland lost a close game to the Bills, fan confidence increased by 17 percentage points up to 47%. And then after the win against Pittsburgh, it remained steady at 47%. Between Weeks 13-18, the team’s confidence has basically remained the same. It’s been elevated since Shedeur Sanders gave fans a reason to stay interested in another losing season. Our opponents this week, the Cincinnati Bengals, only have 25% confidence from their fanbase.
We asked one other question this week, which is whether DE Myles Garrett will get a sack this week (which would break the record if its a full sack). 81% of fans think it’ll happen, even though he was shut out last week.
If we go by history against the Bengals:
2025: 1/1 in games with a sack
2024: 1/2 in games with a sack
2023: 1/1 in games with a sack
2022: 2/2 in games with a sack
In his last 6 games against the Bengals, Garrett has a sack in 5 of them. The Bengals tend to throw the ball a lot, and that type of philosophy often comes with some sacks that are given up. Let’s hope it happens again this week.
