Cleveland Browns: Week 10 NFL power rankings
The Cleveland Browns are just seven games away from immortality. How does an 0-9 team rank in the weekly NFL power rankings?
The Cleveland Browns can’t do it … can they?
It seemed unlikely when the season kicked off in September that the Browns would run the table and post the NFL’s first 0-16 season since the Detroit Lions pulled it off in 2008.
With just seven games to go, and with an offense that can’t score more than 14 points and a defense that can’t give up less than 30, it seems more and more likely.
“We really can’t worry about that kind of stuff. All we can worry about is this week,” tight end Gary Barnidge said on Monday. “We can’t worry about the future games and stuff. We can only worry about what we have coming up this Thursday. The rest of it will play itself out.”
While 0-16 may seem like a foregone conclusion, linebacker Christian Kirksey is having none of that talk.
“We’re not going to go 0-16,” Kirksey told cleveland.com. “That’s for a fact. We’re not doing that. Things are going to get on a roll, and we’ve just got to keep fighting.”
The Browns will take up the fight again on Thursday when they make their lone primetime appearance of the season in a game against the Baltimore Ravens. Until then, let’s see where they sit in the weekly NFL power rankings.
