Cleveland Browns looking for more success in 2024
The Cleveland Browns were able to have a decent 2023 season. They made it to the playoffs and even won 11 games. However, they couldn’t keep up their pace during their matchup against the Houston Texans during the wildcard round.
Nevertheless, the franchise has achieved double-digit wins in a season for the third time since 1994. Additionally, they currently boast one of the best rosters, featuring standout players like Deshaun Watson, who has returned to the squad post-recovery from the injury.
Another key player to watch is Amari Cooper. Cooper caught 72 passes last season, and for the Browns to make it to the playoffs again, they need him to perform at his best once more.
