The Cleveland Browns entered the 2019 season as arguably the league’s most-hyped team, but very little went right after the first offensive series of the season.
A major contributor was the season-long struggles by an offense that was plagued by poor game plans, penalties, sub-par play at both tackle positions and right guard, and injuries to starting wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry that limited their effectiveness, most notably in the case of Beckham.
After coming over from the New York Giants in an offseason trade that helped kick off the hype, a core muscle injury limited Beckham’s availability in practice and he was never able to click with quarterback Baker Mayfield in the way that many expected.
