Cleveland Browns
With every good musical band, there are levels. It is not displayed to their endearing music lovers, but it’s there.
The lead singer is the showman, the leader, so to speak, the one everyone looks to so that their fans are satisfied. The drummer is the crazy one, the risk taker, and the most physically gifted. The keyboard player is the tactician and exudes creativity and expects perfection. The lead guitar is the smart one, the craftsman, and most expressive. And the bass guitar player is the quiet one, the least noticed, and the main team player.

One of the best things about football is how each player impacts the others. A great cornerback can make the safety’s job that much easier. A great run-stopping defensive tackle leads to better play from the linebacker behind him. A stud quarterback can lift the performance of the offensive line, running back, and pass catchers.
For the Cleveland Browns, DE Myles Garrett is the tide that lifts all ships, the straw that stirs the drink, and the peerless defender in all of the NFL. This century, Garrett and Joe Thomas are 1 and 1a among the best Browns, but the...

It is clear at this point in the season that the Cleveland Browns’ ability to put points on the board and have a productive offense is the difference between winning and losing. The defense has continued to dominate week after week, but with Shedeur Sanders making his second start of the season, what does the Browns’ offense need to do to get a win over the San Francisco 49ers?
Lean on the run game.
As Sanders continues to get comfortable operating the Cleveland offense, the team will need to rely on Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson in the running game....

It is Week 13, and the Cleveland Browns up 2.3 spots this week for a ranking of 26.7. The defense continues to get respect, especially with Myles Garrett’s historic season, but the victory for Shedeur Sanders in his first career start is what elevated the team’s ranking. If the Browns can pull off another win against the 49ers, even with their sub-.500 record, they could be the type of non-playoff team that starts surging up the rankings despite not being in the playoff hunt. But let’s not get too ahead of ourselves.
Here is a summary of how the Cleveland...

The Cleveland Browns have not enjoyed much success this season when it comes to winning football games, but their rookie class continues to make headlines.
Defensive tackle Mason Graham, the club’s first-round selection, has shown nice progress as he continues to grow into his role. Linebacker Carson Schwesinger is a frontrunner for Defensive Rookie of the Year honors, running back Quinshon Judkins leads rookies in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns, and tight end Harold Fannin Jr. keeps adding yards after the catch.
Then there is quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who made his starting debut a winning one on Sunday against the...

The Cleveland Browns opened as 5.5-point underdogs at home against the San Francisco 49ers ahead of their Week 13 match-up, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. The over/under on the game is 38.5.
The Browns (3-8) are coming off of a 24-10 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, which saw Shedeur Sanders win his first career start, the defense register 10 sacks, and the special teams unit come through with a couple of big plays. Cleveland finally won a road game, and got the Raiders to fire their offensive coordinator after the game. Was this a flash in the pan, or a...

The Cleveland Browns have found themselves at the intersection of some of the major areas that draw attention in the NFL. “Hot seat” head coach and GM, quarterback controversy/need, a popular backup QB and a big-name player, all rolled into one.
QB Shedeur Sanders earned a second start for the Browns in Week 13. Much like his debut start, there are a few details that could benefit Sanderse and Cleveland with the San Francisco 49ers this week. The key is whether or not Sanders will be good or just better than the poor play of Dillon Gabriel.
If the Browns...

Very rarely can you judge or evaluate major decisions within a season in the NFL. That is true for both the Cleveland Browns and Jacksonville Jaguars when it comes to the Travis Hunter trade. You can never account for injuries in football, but Hunter being out for the final 10 games of the Jaguars season, most likely, gives the early advantage to Browns GM Andrew Berry.
DT Mason Graham has continued to develop into more of a force throughout his rookie year while RB Quinshon Judkins is the driving force on Cleveland’s offense. [The Browns still have Jacksonville’s first-round pick...

The Cleveland Browns are looking forward in a positive way at the start of the Thanksgiving week. Knocking off the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12 (see our founder’s vlog of his experience out there here) and having some relative excitement about QB Shedeur Sanders is a nice change of pace for fans. Whether or not “fine” is good enough moving forward for Sanders is still a question, but HC Kevin Stefanski has given him the starting role versus the San Francisco 49ers.
Early last week, we shared [why the Raiders could be the “perfect” opponent for Sanders and the...
