The Cleveland Browns have three more games on their schedule before their bye week in early November. After a challenging 1-4 start, let’s predict where the Browns’ record will most likely be going into the bye week.

Game 1: Away @ Pittsburgh Steelers

Cleveland is on the road this week against the Pittsburgh Steelers, which historically is a very challenging place for this team to play. The Browns are 0-15 in the regular season when playing in Pittsburgh for the last 15 seasons. Given the Steelers’ 3-1 start, their recent bye, and the Browns’ offensive struggles, it would be surprising...

Did you feel it?

That rattling and rumbling sound. The Earth shifting slightly. What was it? Why did the dishes start to jangle and items on the desk begin to shift a bit? A fallen stapler.

That was Paul Brown turning over in his grave. It seems, on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals made a player trade. It was the first ever in the history of the two-storied franchises.

The Pittsburgh Steelers were the only team in the AFC North that was on a bye this weekend, but the Cleveland Browns, Cincinnati Bengals, and Baltimore Ravens all played this Sunday. The Browns lost a close one across the pond, the Ravens got routed at home despite sending out their B-team, and the Bengals looked outmatched against the Detroit Lions.

Let’s make this quick, shall we?

Winner?(I guess): The Pittsburgh Steelers

If you were expecting the Pittsburgh Steelers to be in first place in the AFC North at the end of Week 5, you are either a diehard fan...

Dillon Gabriel got his first start of the season on Sunday in London against the Minnesota Vikings after the team decided to bench Joe Flacco. It was a challenging setting to have his first start as a rookie – an international game against a talented defense. Let’s look at what Gabriel did well in this matchup and how confident the team should be in him moving forward.

Gabriel completed 19 of his 33 passes for 190 passing yards and threw two touchdowns without any interceptions. His decision-making stood out, and he made decisive throws throughout the game, even when he...

Wanting to win and expecting to win are two very different things in the NFL. Not for the players on the field or the coaches, but for fans, media and the higher-ups in the organization, expectations are key. For the Cleveland Browns, the 2025 season held hope, not expectations, that the team could turn things around despite a younger roster, the loss of key veterans and few proven commodities on the offensive side of the ball.

Even the most optimistic fans were thinking closer to seven or eight wins than double digits and playoffs.

Of course, the quarterback competition was...

After falling to 1-4, the Cleveland Browns may need to do a lot of soul-searching about how they can turn the tide for the 2025 NFL season. It was well known, even before he was benched, that QB Joe Flacco was not a part of the long-term future, but there was hope he could help stabilize the ship until either QB Dillon Gabriel or QB Shedeur Sanders were ready to take the helm.

Now, Flacco won’t be a part of the Browns present either after being traded to the Cincinnati Bengals on Tuesday.

Cleveland’s quarterback situation was messy and [rumors...

The Cleveland Browns have not seen a productive start to the 2025 NFL season from their group of wide receivers.

Presumptive No. 1 receiver Jerry Jeudy, who is struggling with drops, has just 15 receptions, no touchdowns, and has yet to break 70 receiving yards in a game. Cedric Tillman, the No. 2 receiver by default, is once again on the injured reserve list and will miss at least three more games while dealing with a hamstring.

The rest of the position group is extremely unproven, with rookie Isaiah Bond (nine receptions for 114 yards), Jamari Thrash (five receptions for...

The Cleveland Browns have had seven quarterbacks on their roster, in one form or another, from the start of training camp through the start of Week 6 preparations. QB Tyler Huntley was released, QB Kenny Pickett was traded away, QB Deshaun Watson is injured and reportedly unlikely to play this season, QB Bailey Zappe is on the practice squad (for now) and QBs Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders, both rookies, are the last two standing with QB Joe Flacco heading to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Currently, the 2026 NFL draft order has the Browns slotted near the top and bottom of...

The Cleveland Browns seemingly love to make moves at the quarterback position. This offseason, the Browns traded for QB Kenny Pickett, signed QB Joe Flacco and Tyler Huntley and drafted QBs Dillon Gabriel and Sheduer Sanders. Cleveland then released Huntley and traded Pickett before the season started, turning a five-man competition (Deshaun Watson was the sixth QB on the roster) into the final three on the initial 53-man roster.

With Flacco benched in favor of Gabriel, the veteran assumed the backup and support role for the rookie while Sanders remained as the emergency quarterback.

Now, reportedly, the Browns are trading...

The Cleveland Browns made their first, and likely only, national television appearance on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings in London as part of the NFL’s international series of games.

While the Browns came out on the losing end of the scoreboard, the game provided a national audience with a glimpse of what is becoming a promising rookie class in Cleveland.

Tight end Harold Fannin Jr. picked up his first touchdown catch of the season, wide receiver Isaiah Bond had a nice 22-yard reception, linebacker Carson Schwesinger had a game-high 12 tackles, and kicker Andre Szmyt was perfect on all three...

A look at the Cleveland Browns offense through five weeks of the season doesn’t show a lot of variance between the group led by QB Joe Flacco and the one led by QB Dillon Gabriel. The big difference is the lack of turnovers in Week 5 after four straight weeks of giving the ball away (a total of eight in four games). The Browns defense continues to get very little support from the other side of the ball.

Moving forward, Cleveland’s offense needs some changes. Whether it is being more aggressive or throwing the ball [deeper and all over the...
