The Browns team the Giants will face on Sunday has nine wins, is coming off a 42 point performance on Monday (albeit in a loss to the Raven), and seems bound for the postseason for the first time since 2002. It’s very un-Browns-like and a far different team than the underwhelming one just last year that went 6-10 and fired its first-year head coach at the conclusion of that season.
The person who recognizes those differences more than anyone is probably Freddie Kitchens, that head coach who got canned and now works for the Giants as their tight ends coach.
