GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Cleveland's 2019 season began with massive expectations.
With two games still to go, its season could already over.
The Browns (6-8) were effectively eliminated from the playoff conversation Sunday, as the Arizona Cardinals put the finishing touches on one of the NFL's biggest disappointments with an emphatic 38-24 victory at State Farm Stadium. The Browns will officially be eliminated from playoff contention if the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night.
Cleveland's issues all season resurfaced in a game the Browns had to have, just to keep their faint playoff hopes alive.
