Browns legend Joe Thomas: Team’s failures broke him one year, Manning’s wild request
When Cleveland Browns Hall of Famer Joe Thomas spoke to DBN’s Barry Shuck a couple of years ago, he was open and honest about how difficult it was to play for a losing team. Thomas, like former Browns DE Myles Garrett, put on great performances on the field only to see their team lose over […]

Browns NFL Power Rankings: Cleveland tied for last heading into Week 2
It is Week 2 of the 2026 NFL season, and there is no drama about the Cleveland Browns’ position in national power rankings: they are pretty much dead last. A few sites still have them at No. 30 or No. 31, but overall, the average dropped 0.8 spots to 31.4. Some sites have the likes […]
Do you expect the Browns to at least play better against the Bucs? Reacts Survey
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Browns fans and fans across the country. With how bad the Cleveland Browns were to open the season, I wasn’t in the mood to ask whether the team would beat the Tampa Bay […]
AFC North news: Ravens add former Browns undersized WR
The story of the Cleveland Browns training camp was the quarterback competition, which no one really seemed to win, and undersized WR Luke Floriea having a great camp. The quarterback issues continue to haunt the Browns, while Floriea, after being released by Cleveland, has had one workout for another team but remains unsigned. After one […]
Browns roster: 8 moves made on Tuesday, including Dylan Sampson to IR
Sorting through the rubble of Week 1 for the Cleveland Browns has been a bit of a chore. Very few positives, although Deshaun Watson to Denzel Boston led the NFL in air yards, and a whole lot of concerns, including about the team’s identity. A look at the snap counts shows some interesting usage rates […]
Cleveland’s defense could adjust some snap counts after first game
The Cleveland Browns’ defense looked lost to open the season, and looked like a shadow of its former self from when Jim Schwartz was the defensive coordinator. There was hardly any pressure, the tackling was poor, and the playmaking was lacking. I know Myles Garrett is gone, but one player shouldn’t turn a defense to […]
Despite Week 1 loss, one group on the Browns offense improved
The Cleveland Browns played a terrible game in Week 1, with a lot of blame going to QB Deshaun Watson on offense, and then the team’s defense in general. But were other areas responsible for the low output offensively too? There was one unit that actually played at a very high level, believe it or […]
Browns Week 1: Cleveland’s identity is now in question
The Cleveland Browns’ Week 1 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars revealed plenty about the team beyond what the final score showed. There were plenty of assumptions made about this team heading into the season. Many of those assumptions were validated in Week 1, while others told a different story about where this team is currently at. Many expected Cleveland’s defense to be the team’s […]
Cleveland Browns news: More Week 1 takeaways, Deshaun Watson remains, Todd Monken speaks

Browns news around the web includes injuries, thoughts on quarterbacks, and more Cleveland Browns news from DBN Share your […]
HC Todd Monken changes tune, not about Deshaun Watson but about team’s buy-in with the QB
If Cleveland Browns HC Todd Monken was expecting a honeymoon phase in his first time leading an NFL team, Week 1’s performance all but shut the door on that. The Browns performance versus the Jacksonville Jaguars was so bad that it was hard to tell if the problem was scheme/coaching or talent on the roster. […]
AFC North: 3 winners, but who looked good, who had injuries, and who is suspect?
As Cleveland Browns fans lament another terrible start to an NFL season, the beat goes on around the AFC North. The Browns are the lone team to lose in Week 1, a drubbing handed to them by the Jacksonville Jaguars, with many turning their attention to the 2027 NFL draft to try to avoid thinking […]
Browns 2027 NFL draft slots: Tankathon gets an early spin as Strength of Schedule reigns
Cleveland Browns coaches and players will not say it, and fans do not want to hear it but, especially after the Week 1 performance, the 2026 NFL season might be all about the 2027 NFL draft in Northeast Ohio. That doesn’t mean we won’t be paying attention to what happens on the field; a lot […]
4 thoughts from the Browns lackluster season opener versus the Jaguars
Not ideal. The 2026 Cleveland Browns season opener was a disaster in a lot of ways. It would be lazy to say that everyone expected this to happen because no one thought it would be this bad. Beating the Jacksonville Jaguars, who were in the playoffs last season and are projected to be back in […]
Assigning blame for Browns loss in Week 1: Deshaun Watson tops the list but is not alone
In assessing the Cleveland Browns’ 34-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, several factors contributed to a performance in which Cleveland was never really in the game. Deshaun Watson threw an interception on his third pass attempt of the first quarter, setting the tone for what would become a disappointing game for the Browns. Watson was […]
Cleveland Browns news: Week 1 failures aplenty versus Jaguars; Todd Monken unfazed
Welp, Week 1 is in the books for the Cleveland Browns, and that wasn’t pretty. Most Browns fans didn’t have high expectations for the season but were hoping new HC Todd Monken and an improved offensive roster could raise the floor of the team’s performance. Instead, it was more of the same for the Browns […]

Browns vs. Jaguars: 10 takeaways from Week 1 blowout
The Cleveland Browns were destroyed by the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season. It was so bad that the Jags pulled most of their starters early in the second half of the game. RB Dylan Sampson left the game and didn’t return, while OL Zion Johnson was hurt but returned quickly. […]
Cleveland Browns vs. Jacksonville Jaguars recap: An embarrassing display
The Cleveland Browns were losing 31-0 early in the third quarter. That tells you all you need to know about the Browns’ first game of the season, as they ultimately ended up losing 34-10.

Browns Zion Johnson, Joel Bitonio’s replacement, injured in Week 1 versus Jaguars, returns
The Cleveland Browns spent many of their resources this offseason on adding to the offense, especially the offensive line. With Teven Jenkins injured before Week 1, the Browns lined up five new starters versus the Jacksonville Jaguars, including Zion Johnson taking Joel Bitonio’s left guard spot. Johnson was a big free-agent addition for Cleveland, hoping […]
Browns NFL draft: Myles Garrett injury, surgery could impact draft
The Cleveland Browns made arguably the biggest move of the offseason when they decided to trade defensive end Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams. In return for the two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year and the franchise’s all-time leader in sacks, the Browns received defensive end Jared Verse and three draft picks from […]

Cleveland Browns vs. Jacksonville Jaguars Week 1 discussion
The regular season is finally here.

We’re trying to think how the defense can keep being strong, how the revamped offensive line could […]
AFC North: 2 contract dramas brewing, including a trade rumored for a top defender
Week 1 of the NFL season started a few days ago, but the meat of the schedule kicks off on Sunday. For the Cleveland Browns, big contract discussions are not a part of the talk around the team. While GM Andrew Berry could look to extend a few defensive starters, the Browns young roster is […]
Browns 2026 season: What a good Week 1 would actually look like
Winning is always the main goal each week; however, the Cleveland Browns have several other factors to consider in Week 1 when determining whether the team delivered a strong performance.
