The Cleveland Browns are entering the 2019 season with higher expectations than they ever have before as an expansion franchise, now two decades into their second life. They nearly posted a winning record in 2018, which is a marvel considering how long it’s been since that happened, falling a long field goal short of going 8-7-1 after losing to the Baltimore Ravens in the finale.
They posted a 5-3 record in the second half of the season after firing Hue Jackson as head coach and Todd Haley as offensive coordinator.
