As some of the leaders in the Cleveland Browns locker room stated on Sunday, there is no such thing as a meaningless game in the NFL. Joel Bitonio called every game a “resume-builder,” especially for younger players. Myles Garrett took it a step further, saying he would never allow one of his teammates to “lay down to a team or man that’s in front of us” on the field.
It’s safe to say that, while the 2026 draft order will always be top-of-mind for Browns fans at the end of a lost season, the coaches and players are solely focused on establishing a winning culture in Cleveland.
