BALTIMORE (AP) – Getting off to the worst start in franchise history is one thing.
Being historically bad on a grand scale is quite another, and the winless Cleveland Browns now have only six games left to avoid that kind of infamy.
Facing the team that once called Cleveland home, this Browns team stayed competitive for a half before falling 28-7 to the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night.
That left the Browns at 0-10, their worst start to a season since Cleveland joined the NFL in 1950.
It can’t get much worse than that, can it? Well, perhaps. Because the Browns are now staring at one of the most dubious set of numbers in NFL history: 0-16.
