The 2023 Cleveland Browns are one of the most resilient sports teams in recent history.
Not many people expected them to be this good, even with Deshaun Watson and Nick Chubb at full strength, and what they’ve done thus far is nothing short of remarkable.
That’s why Tony Rizzo of ESPN Cleveland still has full confidence in the team’s ability to get the job done and finish the season strong to make the playoffs.
"Somehow, we're staying in this," – @TheRealTRizzo says the Browns aren't done yet.

Talking on his radio show, Rizzo pointed out that no other team that’s down to its fourth-string quarterback would still be in the mix, adding that it’s just so hard to criticize anything from this Browns team after the way things have gone down.
He did acknowledge that there’s still a chance that they don’t make the playoffs despite getting seven wins before Thanksgiving, adding that HC Kevin Stefanski needs to make the right decisions.
The Browns have had three different players starting at quarterback for them this season.
That’s on top of losing arguably the best running back in the game just a handful of games into the campaign.
Needless to say, having a QB room consisting of Joe Flacco, Dorian Thompson-Robinson, and P.J. Walker is far from impressive, and their chances of winning a Super Bowl this season with them are close to none.
Then again, they weren’t even supposed to be this good when they were at full strength, so who’s to say they cannot rally and get the job done against all odds?
