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.

Fans seem more focused on draft positioning due to where the Browns stand and it is hard to blame them.

“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.
