Below, we analyze the snap counts and stats on offense for the Cleveland Browns’ final preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams.

• For the starters, it’s always nice to see them go down and get a touchdown, even if it was against backups on the Rams. Joe Flacco looks just as capable as the 2023 version of him that we saw, and now he has a dual threat of tight end weapons to help him. I’m a little concerned with Harold Fannin’s hands based on some training camp drops he’s had, and the bobble he had on the touchdown...

Following the Cleveland Browns undefeated preseason with a victory over the Los Angeles Rams, HC Kevin Stefanski spoke to the media about where the team is 48 hours in advance of cutdown day. We know that DT Aidan Huntington and QB Shedeur Sanders will make the initial 53-man roster, with Huntington the next in line of Browns UDFA.

The big injury concern coming out of the final preseason game was starting center Ethan Pocic leaving with a knee issue. QB Kenny Pickett remained out of the game with [GM Andrew Berry noting the team is likely to keep four quarterbacks...

The NFL’s cutdown day is this Tuesday, August 26, at 4:00 p.m. (Eastern). Teams can have up to 90 athletes in their training camp, but pare down to 53 players on Tuesday.

Who will the Browns cut? Who will they keep?

One player who has placed an exclamation mark on his proven roster spot is undrafted rookie defensive lineman Adin Huntington.

Huntington (6’-1”, 281 pounds) hasn’t shifted his availability to being one of the starters, but he certainly has gotten everyone’s attention that he deserves a roster spot despite being undrafted this past April.

There is nothing like preseason to get fans excited about Cleveland Browns football. Sadly, that used to be true but, given everything the franchise has put fans through, the hype around the preseason really was about QB Shedeur Sanders and not much else. The Browns finished preseason with a 3-0 record; whether that means anything to you depends on a lot of things.

Veteran starting QB Joe Flacco and rookie QB Dillon Gabriel looked good while Sanders struggled a bit. While the Los Angeles Rams played almost no one of note, Cleveland had a number of players show their value....

The Cleveland Browns finished their preseason with a 19-17 win over the Los Angeles Rams. This was the Browns’ dress rehearsal for the regular season, with some starters playing for the first time, including quarterback Joe Flacco. Starters getting the day off included WR Cedric Tillman, OG Joel Bitonio, CB Denzel Ward, CB Greg Newsome, and DE Myles Garrett. Let’s get to the full game recap.

1st Quarter – Rams vs. Browns

The Browns kicked off to begin the game, with QB Dresser Winn coming on to lead the Rams’ offense against some of the Browns’ starters on...

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and the league’s 32 owners do not always see eye-to-eye when it comes to governing the nation’s top sports league.

However, there is one thing that they can all agree on: they love making money.

This is a league where the average team is worth an estimated $7.13 billion, and one where even a poverty franchise like the Cincinnati Bengals is worth $5.5 billion.

One way the league brings in money is through broadcast deals with their various media partners. The current 11-year agreement is worth $125.5 billion overall, which works out to $3.92 billion per...

While the Los Angeles Rams brought none of their star players even to Ohio for the third preseason game, the Cleveland Browns have a lot of their starters on the field for a couple of series at least. While the “dress rehearsal” is important to get the team ready for the regular season, the Browns are risking injury as well.

On the team’s second offensive series, QB Joe Flacco hit RB Dylan Sampson for a run-after-catch first down but center Ethan Pocic went down on the play. While looking to engage a blocker, a looper came around and got pushed...

The Cleveland Browns have called their final preseason game, versus the Los Angeles Rams, a “dress rehearsal” for the regular season. We will see starting QB Joe Flacco on the field for the first time in a Browns uniform since the playoff game in 2023, but not everyone expected to make Cleveland’s initial 53-man roster will be on the field.

The Rams didn’t even have QB Matthew Stafford travel to Ohio, as their star quarterback just recently returned to the practice field due to limitations from a back injury.

The Browns announced that 12 players are not expected to play...

Today, the Cleveland Browns play their final preseason game in 2025 as they take on the Los Angeles Rams. The Browns will treat this as their dress rehearsal game, as Joe Flacco and some starters will see 20-25 snaps, followed by Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders.

The NFL has a full slate of situations and products that are banned. Some are disqualified because of corporate partners with hefty sponsorships. You can’t make a deal with Oakley, then everybody on the sidelines is seen wearing Ray-Bans. The league is always looking to make a buck from its game. The official hot dog of the NFL? Where’s the contract? Official yoga provider? Use this pen. Official cola brand? That should bring in a bundle.

Always wanting to appease their financial partners, the NFL employs numerous layers to protect the shield.

Drugs, supplements, and vitamins all play a role...
