The Cleveland Browns of 2023 began the season with a lot of promise, much like many other seasons in Ohio. The team had the easiest schedule in the league, a new defensive coordinator gave the team a new lease on life, and the roster was loaded on both sides of the ball. A long list of injuries has taken their toll on the former Super Bowl contender more than two thirds of the way into the NFL season.
The Cleveland Browns are still the seventh-seeded team in the AFC with a 7-5 record. However, the team is without both starting tackles, its best two quarterbacks, and its standout running back. They also have injuries to their cornerback, defensive end, and top receiver, and none of these situations are likely to get better anytime soon.
To play in the postseason would be an accomplishment for a team that has started four different quarterbacks, but the Cleveland Browns are still right in the thick of things. With five games remaining, they trail the Baltimore Ravens by two games, making it unlikely that they will win the division. The AFC is confused, which is good news. Just two of the 11 teams with six wins or a.500 record have nine victories, Miami and Baltimore being the other two.
The team will probably need to win ten games in order to have a realistic chance of making the postseason. Eleven victories would all but guarantee them a trip. With nine, they could manage it, but they’d need assistance. In order to have a shot at the postseason, the Cleveland Browns must win three of their final five games.
One thing that’s become clear for the 2023 Cleveland Browns: They are much better at home than they are on the road. The Browns are 5-1 at home, winning by an average score of 19-10. They’re 2-4 on the road, losing by an average of 31-24. As good as the defense is, they’re often the catalyst for these wins and losses. At home, they’ve allowed only 24 points one time, while they’ve allowed at least 24 in every single road game this season.
