The Cleveland Browns season has not gone the way some had expected. Despite an 11-game suspension for QB Deshaun Watson and what seemed like a difficult schedule and division, some believed that the Browns would or should compete for a division title and playoff position.
Others had a more realistic (easy to say now) set of expectations going into the 2022 NFL season.
Injuries have played a significant role even if Cleveland hasn’t had too many that were season-ending. Myles Garrett, Jadeveon Clowney, Denzel Ward, Greg Newsome and others have missed a game or more on the defensive side of the ball.
