The Cleveland Browns are just a year removed from their second playoff berth in four seasons. Now, they are a 3-13 football team that holds the No. 3 pick in the upcoming NFL draft.
Cleveland has lost five straight games and has played exactly like one of the worst teams in the league would. The 20-3 loss to the Tyler Huntley-led Miami Dolphins was the latest poor outing for the Browns.
“We've got the best home-field advantage in the NFL with our crowd and how into it they are. We haven’t done enough as a football team to keep them into it,” head coach Kevin Stefanski said after the loss to the Dolphins. “So that’s the frustrating part. I really wanted to get this one for them in this building being the last one at home, so it’s frustrating.”
Cleveland went just 2-6 at home this season, a place they were terrific at last season. The feeling of home-field advantage was hard to come by this season and it is not hard to tell why.
Dorian Thompson-Robinson made his second straight start for the Browns and turned the ball over twice against the Dolphins. DTR completed just 24-of-47 passes for 170 yards and an interception. Stefanski did not commit to Thompson-Robinson being the starter in the final regular season game against the Baltimore Ravens.
“Obviously not good enough. We got to come away with a win, got to come away with taking care of the football, putting ourselves in position to go find a way to win and we didn’t do that. That’s the disappointing part. The results are what they are, that’s frustrating.”
Cleveland will play Baltimore on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. ET to close their regular season. It will be a nationally televised game for the Browns to finish their season.
