The Cleveland Browns have arguably been the biggest disappointment in the NFL this season. After going 11-6 in 2023 and becoming one of the best stories in the league after an improbable postseason berth, the Browns have underwhelmed in a massive way. They are 3-10 heading into the final four weeks of the season.
While Browns fans are trying to understand what went wrong, team owner Jimmy Haslam is similarly confused about why the team performed so poorly this season. On Wednesday, Haslam spoke to reporters following the NFL owners meeting. Per ESPN’s reporting, Haslam said that he is “perplexed” about how the Browns went from 11-6 to 3-10.
The more surprising part of this statement is the ensuing remarks. Despite the fact that Haslam is clearly struggling to wrap his mind around the team’s underperformance, he went on to endorse head coach Kevin Stefanski and GM Andrew Berry.
