It is hard to think of anything else that has gotten fans excited in 2016.

The only on-field excitement came in Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens when Josh McCown had the Browns up 20-0 in the first quarter. But a blocked extra-point returned for two points seemed to signal doom for the Browns. A 25-20 final in favor of the Ravens confirmed that fear.

The play of Terrelle Pryor has been another positive, although he is having a tough time keeping his emotions in check.

Then there is the play of some of the drafted rookies. Derrick Kindred, Carl Nassib, and Emmanuel Ogbah have all stood out, while undrafted Briean Boddy-Calhoun has secured his spot as a member of the team in 2017.

There really hasn’t been much else to cheer about. The lack of a win sours any success seen by individuals on the field, while the whole point of watching the games is to see if the team will do the unthinkable and go 0-16.

It is hard to believe it has been over a year since the team has won a game, considering the Cavaliers have won a championship and the Indians nearly won it all in 2016. Yet the Browns are still searching for a single victory, and if it comes, fans will rejoice. There just won’t be any long-lasting excitement.
