There was a myriad of reasons that the Cleveland Browns were 7-10 this season. Fans have blamed everyone and everything from Kevin Stefanski, Andrew Berry, Paul DePodesta, Jimmy Haslam, trading for Deshaun Watson, not running Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt enough, Joe Woods (the team agreed with this one), overpaid defenders who don’t care enough, not enough coaches yelling and many, many other reasons.
One reason that rarely is mentioned is luck. While some believe the Browns are cursed, for a variety of reasons, we covered after Week 12 that luck played a role in the team’s struggles this season.
