If there’s one thing in which the Cleveland Browns are well-versed, it’s underperforming. And anything short of a playoff run in 2021, for many, would qualify as just that this year. For the first time in more than a decade, the Browns posted a winning record last season, going 11-5. They won their first playoff game since 1994, in their first playoff appearance since 2002.
It was the culmination of years and years of rebuilds and hopes and failures, finally getting over the hump in new head coach Kevin Stefanski’s first season. Now perhaps finally entering an opportunity for some stability, the question is, can they sustain it and build off of it?
