The Browns are missing a chance to gain ground in a weakened AFC North -- Bud Shaw's Spinoffs

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- ESPN's Week 9 Power Rankings have the Browns ranked last at No. 32.

The accompanying story, in the spirit of Halloween, addresses the scariest trends for each NFL team.

Pittsburgh, for instance: Ben Roethlisberger's decline (nine interceptions, poor completion percentage.)

Baltimore: Joe Flacco's play has inspired even less confidence.

Cincinnati: A team that can't win anywhere except at home (and in Cleveland) plays three consecutive road games.

The Browns: Dimanchophobia.

That's fear of Sundays.

And a joke. I think.

* One shame (among many) of this Browns season is the division isn't what it has been.
