Overview
- Cleveland improved to 4-12 with a 13-6 win over Pittsburgh and heads to Cincinnati seeking its first back-to-back victories since 2023.
- Asked about his status, Kevin Stefanski declined to discuss the future and said he is privileged to have the job, emphasizing focus on the Bengals.
- NFL Network reported GM Andrew Berry will be very involved in any decision on the head coach, and multiple outlets say Stefanski would be a candidate elsewhere if a change is made.
- Players voiced support for Stefanski, with Joel Bitonio and Denzel Ward citing respect in the locker room and Myles Garrett stressing the team’s commitment to compete.
- The recent slide includes a 7-26 mark over two seasons and a 44-56 record overall under Stefanski, with an offense ranked 31st in scoring and plans complicated by Deshaun Watson’s limited availability since the 2022 trade.
