This could only happen to Cleveland. On the verge of their first playoff game in 18 years, the Browns have a COVID-19 outbreak on their hands. Head coach Kevin Stefanski is the most notable name who has tested positive from the club. Along with three members of the coaching staff, Stefanski came up with the positive coronavirus test and will not be available for Cleveland’s wildcard game with Pittsburgh.
Joel Bitonio also had a positive test and is a significant loss against a tough Steelers defensive line. Bitonio was the second-best pass-blocking guard in the NFL this season, keeping Baker Mayfield as one of the least rushed quarterbacks all year.
