The 2024 season was a nightmare for the Cleveland Browns, who stumbled to a 3–14 finish and landed at the bottom of the AFC North. Head coach Kevin Stefanski and general manager Andrew Berry entered the year with playoff aspirations, but those quickly unraveled. The season turned when quarterback Deshaun Watson suffered a season-ending Achilles injury, forcing backup Jameis Winston into action.
Winston showed flashes of his trademark aggressiveness but never provided stability, throwing for 2,121 yards with 13 touchdowns and 12 interceptions before being benched late in the year. Without Watson and with Winston’s inconsistency, the Browns’ offense completely collapsed.
For 2025, Joe Flacco is back in the mix, and the last time he led the Browns (in 2023) they made the playoffs. His backups are Dillon Gabriel (QB2) and Shedeur Sanders (QB3).
The running game offered little relief last season. Star running back Nick Chubb suffered a broken foot midway through the year, and his absence was devastating. In eight games, Chubb mustered just 332 rushing yards on 102 carries (3.3 yards per attempt) with three touchdowns, his lowest output in years. After his injury, the ground attack sputtered further, leaving the team one-dimensional and ineffective.
Wide receiver Jerry Jeudy was one of the few bright spots, leading the team in receiving and earning a Pro Bowl nod. Other standouts such as defensive end Myles Garrett, cornerback Denzel Ward, and guard Joel Bitonio also represented the team at the Pro Bowl, but individual accolades did little to offset a season defined by dysfunction.
Advanced metrics underline just how poor the 2024 Browns were offensively. Using RBSDM’s efficiency models, Cleveland ranked last in the league in both offensive EPA per play (–0.179) and offensive success rate (37.1%). The passing game was plagued by inefficiency, as evidenced by the team’s sub-60% completion percentage and frequent turnovers, while the run game cratered without Chubb.
The offense consistently found itself behind schedule and unable to sustain drives, forcing the defense into difficult positions. Through two weeks in 2025 so far, the Browns offense is 30th in EPA...
