While not exactly known for their consistent success, one can take solace knowing the Bears have it better than the Browns. Not a difficult task, mind you, but a fact, and moral victory nonetheless. For comparison’s sake, the last quarter-century or so — let’s say 28 seasons — is an excellent place to start. I would never share something arbitrary, something bereft of logic on a small sample size. Football melancholia is too important.
1994 is a fantastic starting line. What is Midwestern football, if not a sad exercise hoping for tiny bits of schadenfreude?
It’s difficult to be more mediocre than 178 total wins in almost three decades of play — roughly six wins, on average, per season — but the Browns have the Bears beat here.
