Cleveland Browns: Week 7 NFL power rankings
The Cleveland Browns remain the only winless team in the NFL heading into Week 7, but the team is determined to find that elusive first victory.
The Cleveland Browns are off to their worst start to a season since 1999 and are sitting at 0-6 for just the third time in franchise history.
But while the Browns are not a good team right now, that doesn’t necessarily mean they are bad.
Outside of the game against the New England Patriots, the Browns have been in every game this season and have fought as hard as they can in search of that elusive first win.
And, according to quarterback Cody Kessler, rather than deflating the team, the close losses push the players harder to finally win.
“It gives you more determination. For me, I take it very personal, as do a lot of guys in this locker room,” Kessler said on Wednesday. “It just makes you compete that much harder and keep working harder because we have been really close in some of these games. We just have to put together a full game and I have to put together a full game and a complete game and just continue to keep working.
“You can’t let it knock you back. You have to stay positive and keep moving forward. This team has done a great job week in and week out coming back and coming ready to work. These guys just fight really hard, and we are continuing to go out and put together a full game.”
Will that full game finally arrive on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals? We won’t know for a few more days yet, so in the meantime let’s see where the Browns sit in the latest batch of the league power rankings.
