AFC North Power Rankings Week 7: Russ cooks, Watson’s tenure is potentially over

AFC North Power Rankings Week 7: Russ cooks, Watson’s tenure is potentially over

Bengals hoping to catch up with Ravens and Steelers

Week 7 in the AFC North has wrapped up. The Pittsburgh Steelers made a quarterback change and it surprisingly worked out, the Cincinnati Bengals won the battle of Ohio over the Cleveland Browns and the Baltimore Ravens continue to look like the class of the division.

A lot to discuss, let’s get into it.

1. Baltimore Ravens

If the season ended today, Lamar wins back to back MVP

2. Pittsburgh Steelers

They told Russ to cook and he didn’t burn down the kitchen

3. Cincinnati Bengals

3-4, but they aren’t where...

What Jameis Winston provides the Browns as a starting quarterback going forward

What Jameis Winston provides the Browns as a starting quarterback going forward

Having multiple quarterbacks seems like a ritual

Last year, the Cleveland Browns went through a bunch of quarterbacks. The franchise used a total of five starting quarterbacks over the course of the 2023 season due to injuries.

Last year, starter Deshaun Watson led an upset win over the division leader Baltimore Ravens but in the process suffered a shoulder injury that ended up being season-ending. Rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson (DTR) had a hip injury. Journeyman P.J. Walker started two games and played in three. Veteran Joe Flacco was signed and helped lead the Browns to the playoffs in his five games....

Dawg Pound Discourse: What would it take to trade for Myles Garrett? 

Dawg Pound Discourse: What would it take to trade for Myles Garrett? 

Garret’s name continues to be floated by many league analysts as a possible trade candidate.

When a team who had Super Bowl aspirations to begin the year gets off to a 1-6 start, difficult conversations have to occur. The Cleveland Browns are now embroiled in tough decisions that will need to be made to right the course of the organization.

Trading away Amari Cooper was the first of those decisions a week ago, and after Deshaun Watson ruptured his Achilles against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, more players will certainly be exchanged for draft capital before the trade deadline.

Deshaun Watson reportedly weighing surgery options

Deshaun Watson reportedly weighing surgery options

Cleveland QB suffered season-ending Achilles tear on Sunday. But no matter which option he chooses, his recovery may have him back by Week 1 of next season.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson was in a familiar place on Monday after an MRI confirmed that he did indeed suffer a torn Achilles tendon during Sunday’s loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

This is the second year in a row that Watson’s season has come to an early conclusion due to injury. So now, while the Browns determine how to navigate the rest of the season at the quarterback position, Watson has his...

Cleveland opens as nearly double digit underdogs in Week 8 division game against Ravens

Cleveland opens as nearly double digit underdogs in Week 8 division game against Ravens

It's looking more difficult for the Browns to be taken seriously.

The Cleveland Browns opened as 9.5-point home underdogs against the Baltimore Ravens ahead of their Week 8 match-up, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. The over/under on the game is currently 42.5.

The Browns (1-6) are coming off of a 21-14 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. It was the return of Nick Chubb, and he provided a jolt to the offense with a first half rushing touchdown. However, Deshaun Watson suffered a season-ending Achilles injury, so now the team's quarterback situation is up in the air.

The Ravens (4-2) have rebounded...

NFL trade rumors: Browns getting Myles Garrett calls, 2 veterans are ‘realistic targets’

NFL trade rumors: Browns getting Myles Garrett calls, 2 veterans are ‘realistic targets’

With the NFL trade deadline two weeks away, Myles Garrett’s name being involved in rumors is shocking

The Cleveland Browns are 1-6 heading into Week 8 of the 2024 NFL season and could be 1-8 by the time the NFL trade deadline rolls around on November 5th. Given the team’s performance so far this season, games against the Baltimore Ravens and Los Angeles Chargers will be even more difficult than initially expected.

The Browns have already traded away WR Amari Cooper but that doesn’t mean GM Andrew Berry is going to have a firesale of all his players, [even if...

NFL free agency: 8 QBs the Browns could sign after Deshaun Watson’s injury

Browns roster needs a QB with HC Kevin Stefanski confirming one would be signed

The Cleveland Browns head into Week 8 preparations for the Baltimore Ravens knowing that QB Deshaun Watson will miss at least the rest of this season. QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson showed some positives in relief and veteran QB Jameis Winston could also start this week depending on DTR’s injury status.

Even if Thompson-Robinson is healthy enough to play this week, the Browns roster will need a third quarterback added. With the trade deadline looming, Winston could also be offloaded if the right offer comes along.

As expected,...

Breaking down Dorian Thompson-Robinson’s performance against the Bengals

“DTR” undoubtedly had trouble on Sunday, but he made some nice plays as well standing in for Deshaun Watson

26The Cleveland Browns experienced another frustrating defeat on Sunday, this time to the hands of the Cincinnati Bengals by a score of 21 to 14.

Unfortunately for the team, Deshaun Watson appears to have suffered a season-ending injury with a torn Achilles. Though there was a cloud looming over Cleveland’s offense already, losing the starting quarterback is still a big loss for the passing game.

Whether that means Jameis Winston or Dorian Thompson-Robinson becomes the full-time starter is unknown, but it...
