New Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator Todd Haley addressed his hiring by saying that the 2017 Browns "obviously" played “a lot of close games.”
One could forgive the fans if they said it didn’t seem that way.
Such is life for a winless team whose record overcomes a final score.
The Browns finished with a point differential of minus-176, which means they lost by an average of 11 points. They lost six games by six points or fewer, and Haley saw two of them when his former team, the Steelers, beat the Browns by three and four points.
