BEREA, Ohio -- Offensive lineman Joel Bitonio channeled "Hard Knocks" when he recently discussed the Cleveland Browns' 2018 season.
“We’ve got to win some f---ing games ... oh, excuse me ... sorry about that,” Bitonio said as the Browns prepared for Sunday's opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Bitonio’s comment came in the context of some teammates talking about following a historically bad winless season with a playoff appearance. Crude as it was -- and it was unusual for Bitonio -- it did sum up where the Browns are as the season approaches.
