The Cleveland Browns were playing catch up too much in 2019. In too many instances, Cleveland, after starting well in the early stages of games, would fall behind.
It was often due to then-head coach Freddie Kitchens' bonehead decision-making in terms of game/clock management, too.
Games against the Seattle Seahawks and at home versus the Baltimore Ravens in the last two minutes of the first half of those contests come to mind, when there were complete 180s, for instance.
Looking at 2020 sans Kitchens/better play-calling and hopefully, game management with head coach Kevin Stefanski should lead to less of that sort of thing.
