Overview
- Cleveland dropped to 3-11 with a three-game skid after being thrashed 31-3 in Chicago.
- Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer questioned running it back in 2026 and labeled the Browns’ performance “flat as a pancake.”
- Stefanski refused to engage on job-security questions postgame and redirected attention to Buffalo in Week 16.
- His Browns record is 43-55, highlighted by two 11-win seasons and two NFL Coach of the Year awards.
- League chatter assigns much of the quarterback turmoil, including the Deshaun Watson move, to ownership and the front office, and the remaining games against the Bills, Steelers and Bengals could influence offseason decisions.
