The Cleveland Browns close out an exhausting season today against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Here is how to watch or listen to the game.

This is the end.

Today’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers will draw to a close what has felt like the longest regular season in Cleveland Browns history, and the most bizarre two year stretch the franchise has ever seen.

Shortly after 4 p.m. the season will be completed and the John Dorsey era will begin in ernest. With any luck the days ahead will also bring the end of head coach Hue Jackson – owner of a 1-30 mark with the Browns and a career winning percentage of .191 – but, sadly, that seems about as likely as a Browns win today.

With the unwritten rule that a new general manager must bring in his own players, today will also mark the end of several players’ time in a Browns uniform. The bottom of the roster will surely turnover in the coming months, how much the top end of the roster is impacted remains to be seen.

But it is safe to assume that today marks the last time DeShone Kizer will start a game at quarterback for the Browns, and the last time that running back Isaiah Crowell will take a handoff as a member of the Browns.

It will very likely also be the last time for fans to boo wide receivers Ricardo Louis, Rashard Higgins and Sammie Coates, so get them in while you still can.

This is the end, as Jim Morrison once sang, so you will want to be there. Here is how you can watch or listen to the game.
