How the Browns sealed their 0-16 season with a heartbreaking loss to the Steelers
SB Nation ^ | December 31, 2017 | Harry Lyles Jr.

The Browns secured their 0-16 season after losing to a Pittsburgh Steelers team that featured mostly backups on the road. The Browns had their chances at avoiding the wrong type of perfection, and just fell short in a 28-24 loss.

As only the Browns could, the game was filled with highs and lows. Of course, as most Browns games do, it ended with a low so deep that you could only feel bad for the Browns.

Their first possession was a disaster. I suppose things could have been worse, like throwing a pick-six on the first play or fumbling it for a touchdown.

I tuned in for just a few seconds to see what kind of crowd was there. I’m proud of Pittsburghians for staying home in droves.

Is their coach looking for another job or did he simply commit Hara-Kiri?

Must be related to soccer or something. Feet are involved?

They should have hired Colin K. He could have earned another 2-14 season for them, a rare team that would improve under his rude but inept social justice focus.

They will probably opt to move down in the draft and trade their first three picks for eight 7th-round picks...Based on past history...

National Federal Library I think.

Low ceiling so you had to kneel to use it.

Every week they find a new way to lose. This week, they played the better game, and still lost.

I watch the Cleveland Browns (1) it's not football, it's comedy and (2) it's on an antenna TV with no tech hookups. I'm not feeding the ratings beast.

This year, their young players were promising. Then ten or so of them got involved with a stunt kneeling for the national anthem, with the blessing of the coach. They never did get their priorities straight.

It’s no mystery why NFL players are paid millions. No problem. Just take a knee players.

Don’t forget Paul DePodesta.

He ran the Dodgers in to the ground also.
