The Browns are on the brink of a winless season and the projected No1 draft pick has reportedly said he doesn’t want to play there. How’s your week going?
There is no football futility quite like the touchdowns you think you have until you don’t have them. And for the Cleveland Browns – a franchise that breathes futility through two incarnations – Sunday seemed like a particularly bleak low.
On the way to what likely will be 0-16, the Browns nearly tasted elation. It came on a snow-covered field in Chicago with the serendipitous union of April’s No2 draft pick, Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky, throwing a pass into the waiting arms of April’s No1 draft pick, Cleveland defensive end Myles Garrett. Garrett took his gift interception and ran into the end zone delighting at a rare Browns lead until the official’s yellow flag flew. Offside on Cleveland was the call. No score. Dejection.
