The Cleveland Browns won as many playoff games in 2023 as did the Carolina Panthers: zero. But they did make the playoffs, which is becoming less shocking over time. For those in that locker room such as Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett, however, there is only one surprise. They didn’t go further.
Garrett believes his Browns are a Super Bowl-worthy team—not in the near future but now. Indeed, late last week, he said as much. While no great revelation that a player thinks his team is good, he speaks to the mindset in that building.
“I think if we stay healthy, there’s no reason why we’re not playing this Sunday”, he said on an episode of ESPN First Take on Friday, which was prior to the Super Bowl, and even the NFL Honors ceremony.
