This season, the Cleveland Browns are set to be a team that would compete for the playoffs "If only..."
- If only they weren't in a division with two teams that have won a combined four of the last 15 Super Bowls and the third team has made the playoffs for four straight years.
- If only they weren't a franchise that's finished 27th or worse in scoring in 12 of their 16 seasons since returning to the league in 1999.
But then if we assume that they'll miss the playoffs for the 13th year in a row, there are some "Despite" facts to list of as well.
