This 2025 Cleveland Browns campaign kicked off with low expectations, at least as it relates to one of the three phases of a football team. Many expected — uhh let's go with — growing pains, from the Browns offense this season. It is a unit that has a lot of holes. While that doesn't excuse Kevin Stefanski entirely, it at least makes the struggles more understandable.
Most expected another formidable season from the defense, which already featured multiple cornerstone players (Myles Garrett, Denzel Ward) and a few highly touted rookies (Mason Graham, Carson Schwesinger) to keep the good times rolling with mastermind Jim Schwartz at the controls.
