Cleveland Browns
In sports, in general, in 2025, there is no room for nuance. We know there is here at DBN in our comment section and in The Feed, but the general sports world speaks in certainties that really don’t exist and cliché sayings (both old and new) that lack detail.
During the Cleveland Browns’ Week 16 game against the Buffalo Bills, I was reminded of a few of those certainties and clichés. For example, many have buried QB Shedeur Sanders as having no chance of being a top-level starter in the NFL, while others have looked at the exact same performances...

The Cleveland Browns are strong underdogs heading into Week 17 of the 2025 NFL season against the Pittsburgh Steelers, even if the NFL might prefer an upset. For the Browns, DE Myles Garrett’s pursuit of the single-season sack record and positioning in the 2026 NFL draft order is really all that matters in the last two weeks of the season.
We also now have a good idea of which teams Cleveland will play on the 2026 NFL schedule, both home and away, but we don’t know some of the key players that will be on the Browns roster at that...

The Cleveland Browns have not had much go right during the 2025 season.
The wide receivers continue to be non-existent, with Jerry Jeudy leading the group with 43 receptions, while Cedric Tillman, Isaiah Bond, Jamari Thrash, Malachi Corley, and Gage Larvadain have combined for just 60 more.
The run game, which had stalled since the game against the Las Vegas Raiders, finally caught a break on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills and their No. 30-ranked run defense, only to see running back Quinshon Judkins go down with a dislocated ankle and fractured fibula.
The quarterback situation has gone from bad...

The Cleveland Browns suffered a frustrating defeat to the Buffalo Bills in week 16 by a score of 23 to 20, but these games aren’t necessarily about wins and losses anymore. It’s about player development and seeing what the team has in its younger players as they close out the 2025 season.
Over the past two games, the spotlight has been on C Luke Wypler after Ethan Pocic went down with a season-ending injury against the Titans. Cleveland needs to figure out what they’re going to do at the center position in the future, as Pocic is set to become...

The Cleveland Browns opened as 4.5-point underdogs at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers ahead of their Week 17 match-up, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. The over/under on the game is 34.5.
The Browns (3-12) are coming off of a 23-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills. It was an unusual game in terms of the flow of things. The Browns’ defense looked completely helpless and as bad as you can get on their first three drives, as Buffalo drove down the field with ease — mostly through their running game — for three touchdowns. Then, the rest of the game, the defense...

It has come to this. The Cleveland Browns are facing off with the Pittsburgh Steelers at home off the shores of Lake Erie in Week 17. The Browns only have 2026 NFL draft order rooting goals, Myles Garrett’s chase of the single-season sack record, and a chance to play spoiler against their longstanding rival. Even the most draft-focused Cleveland fan cannot find themselves hoping out loud that their team loses to the Steelers.
For one of the first times ever, Browns fans and “the NFL” might have the same rooting interest. For the longest time, it has seemed like the...

Not only have the Cleveland Browns been eliminated from NFL playoff contention, but Week 16’s results mean they will officially finish in last place in the AFC North once again. The Browns could end the season with the same 5-12 record as the Cincinnati Bengals if Cleveland wins out and Cincinnati loses its two games, but the Bengals would hold the tiebreaker based on division record.
Once again, Browns fans are focused on the NFL draft order and the hope of a quarterback savior, most likely, with one of the top two picks in the 2026 NFL draft.
With two...

After recording 0.5 sacks in the matchup against the Buffalo Bills, Myles Garrett is now one sack away from taking over the record for most sacks in a single season. With two games left in the season against the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals, Garrett has an opportunity to not only beat the record but maybe surpass it by a few sacks.
Sitting atop the AFC North with a 9–6 record, the Steelers pose a difficult matchup for the Browns at home. Although Garrett only needs one sack to break the record, Pittsburgh will be a challenging matchup to accomplish...

The Cleveland Browns head into the final two weeks of the 2025 NFL season with a clear chance to clinch one of the first two picks in the 2026 NFL draft. The Browns moved up to the third spot after the early Week 16 games on Sunday, but saw the Las Vegas Raiders fail to knock off the Houston Texans in a very close game that would have helped Cleveland move up even further.
The Browns close loss to the Buffalo Bills was made much worse by the significant injuries to RB Quinshon Judkins. While there was a positive estimate...

When your team loses double-digit games, it is difficult to watch. But when that happens again and again, you have to question everything.
Do we really need this aggravation? Wouldn’t it just be simpler to say, I am a...
