The Cleveland Browns head into their bye week with a challenging record of 2-6. While it may be an improvement from last season’s dismal 2-7 at the same juncture, the outlook in Cleveland is equally grim. Fans now have a reprieve from watching an offense that has struggled throughout the season.
Cleveland Browns Offensive Struggles
This season, the Browns are averaging just 15.8 points per game, placing them 30th in the NFL. Despite attempting a league-high 37.8 passes per game, they rank 30th in passing yards, accumulating only 174 yards per game. Additionally, the team is averaging a league-worst 4.1 yards per play, which has further deteriorated to just 3.7 yards over the last three games.
The team’s difficulties have raised questions about the effectiveness of head coach Kevin Stefanski’s playcalling. Concerns also stem from the performance of skill position players, particularly at quarterback and wide receiver. As the season progresses, fans anticipate clarity regarding these issues.
