Browns inch closer to potential in win over Miami

The Cleveland Browns took care of business, winning their Week 12 match-up against the Miami Dolphins 41-24. Cleveland had been favored at home by 10.5 points. The first half was all Browns, and while the Dolphins made it a game early in the second half, Cleveland’s superior talent allowed them to pull away. Things still […]

Late-game brawl mars up-and-down Browns win

For 59 minutes and 46 seconds, the Cleveland Browns won their Thursday night showdown with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The final score was 21-7, and it was never really close. But everything changed on a meaningless 3rd and 29 with 14 seconds left. Instead of gearing up for a playoff push at 4-6, the Browns are […]

Home Win Over Bills Keeps Browns’ Sliver of Hope Alive

The season nearly, if not already, ended for the Cleveland Browns after last week’s devastating defeat in Denver. Another loss, especially to one of the two current AFC wild card teams, would have been too much to overcome. Their postseason chances are faint, but the Browns managed to stay in the hunt for at least […]

In Denver, Browns Pound Nails In Kitchens’ Coffin

The Cleveland Browns were supposed to right the ship against the Denver Broncos. The “easy” second half of Cleveland’s schedule was beginning, with pressure aplenty, most notably for head coach Freddie Kitchens. What should have been a launching point turned out to be a disaster, one that may have all but sealed the fate of […]

Browns Turn the Game Over to Seahawks

The Cleveland Browns responded to their 31-3 beatdown at the hands of the San Francisco 49ers by taking a 20-6 lead over the Seattle Seahawks by the beginning of the second quarter. But after that, Seattle outscored Cleveland 26-8, dropping the Browns to 2-4. What should have been a blowout in Cleveland’s favor turned into […]

Embarrassing: Browns weren’t ready for some football

Pathetic. That’s the only word to describe Cleveland’s Monday night performance against the San Francisco 49ers. Every single player save special-teamers Austin Seibert, Jamie Gillan, and Tavierre Thomas embarrassed themselves. It was a top-to-bottom dud for the Browns, with really no positives to glean. There was not a 28-point talent difference in the 49ers favor, […]

Play calling, field vision rank high on Browns’ fix-it list

Mayfield and Kitchens

Moral victories offer only some comfort in the absence of tangible ones. There are worse ways to lose than 20-13 to the defending NFC champions. But the Cleveland Browns should have beaten the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday Night Football. The defense, without its starting WILL linebacker and entire secondary, gave up just 20 points […]

New book shines as a reflection of Bakermania

Baker Mayfield book offer

A unique addition to the Browns bibliography is out now. And I don’t mean out injured. The opposite, really: available. It’s a fun keepsake bio of Baker Mayfield himself. Baker Mayfield: Feeling Dangerous is unofficial, unaffiliated photo and feature journalism writ nice and large, considering its 24-year old star subject. The full 8 1/2-by-11-inch glossy […]
