One of the perks of having a bad season is getting a few games the next year against teams with similar records. Such is why the Cleveland Browns and New York Jets happen to play seemingly ever year.
The Browns enter this season tied for 21st in terms of strength of schedule based on their opponents’ combined winning percentage from a season ago.
This number should inspire some confidence in fans, but the fact the Chicago Bears, Los Angeles Rams, New York Jets, Los Angeles Chargers and Jacksonville Jaguars are on the schedule this season help skew the strength of schedule.
