The Cleveland Browns moved one step closer to the ultimate goal on Sunday, dropping a 33-13 decision to the Buffalo Bills at New Era Field.
The defeat dropped the Browns to 0-14 on the season, equaling the mark set by the 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers and 1980 New Orleans Saints for the second-worst start to an NFL season. The Browns have also lost 17 consecutive games over the past two seasons, tying the St. Louis Rams and Houston Oilers for the sixth-longest losing streak in NFL history. (h/t to ESPN for both of those sobering stats.)
The final stats were as bad as the final score would indicate, as the Browns:
- gave up 451 yards of total offense;
- 280 rushing yards, three rushing touchdowns and 7.
