2018 will go down as one of the most enjoyable seasons since the Cleveland Browns returned to the NFL in 1999. No, they didn’t make the playoffs and they missed a winning record by one-score in the final game, but this season meant a lot more than their 7-8-1 record would indicate.
This season was about more than a record. The Browns shook the loser label that had been haunting them for years and they became a team no one wanted to face. They took the Pittsburgh Steelers and New Orleans Saints to the limit early in the season, even with Hue Jackson coaching them.
