The surprise teams are beginning to raise their hands, and the disappointments are beginning to stumble. While still early, it should be noted that no team currently leading their division was the team that won it last year.

The Browns unfortunately are 0-3 just like last year. Surprising or not, the seeds of improvement are there if you look.

The Browns have been outscored in their first three losses by 12 points combined (Browns 45, Opponents 57). Last year, the Browns were outscored in their first three losses by a combined 66 points (Browns 29, Opponents 95).

Waking up Monday morning 0-3 year after year is hard, but Rome wasn’t built in one season, especially after two horrific drafts…

 

Browns 17 @ Ravens 24
The Browns let another get away Sunday, but seem to have won some brownie points from their fans in terms of moral victories. They rushed for the most yards ever against their former selves, and finally scored a second half touchdown. They held a lead in the fourth quarter of a game nobody gave them a chance in.

Browns running back Peyton Hillis took it to the Ravens vaunted run defense with 144 rushing yards, but it just wasn’t enough. Joe Flacco and his Ravens receivers will always have the Browns secondary to count on as their slumpbuster.

If it’s not Brandon McDonald its Eric Wright, and Wright had the worst singular defensive performance of any Browns player in the expansion era. Anquan Boldin dominated and humiliated him to the tune of 142 receiving yards and three scores. The go ahead TD to Boldin came, again, on a futile all-out blitz.

Bottom line:  Tough loss, but overall an encouraging performance for the Browns. They played the Ravens in Baltimore Week 3 last year, and were annihilated 34-3, were down 7-0 one minute in, and switched QBs mid-game.
