Cleveland Browns News: Team doesn’t know how to win
By Randy Gurzi
The Daily Dawg Tags bring you all the Cleveland Browns news you need to know. Today’s stories look at their struggle to learn how to win a game.
Again we sit and wait for the victory fridge to open. The Cleveland Browns are still looking for that elusive first win since December of 2016.
What hurts most about this latest loss is they had the New Orleans Saints on the ropes. They had a win in their sights and they just blew it.
There was a late — and ugly — pick from Tyrod Taylor that ended up putting them behind. Then he threw a beauty of a touchdown pass on fourth down to rookie Antonio Callaway. That should have given them the lead, except kicker Zane Gonzalez missed his second extra point of the day.

They keep saying the Browns have lost so much that they have to learn how to win games. With two shots at it — in winnable games — they’ve come up just short which gives credence to this belief.

"The free beer remains untouched, but the Cleveland Browns have to feel they’ve come so close to that elusive first win they can taste it.The good: After going 0-16 last year, Cleveland has played a pair of playoff teams extremely tough in their first two games of this season.The bad: Everything else, with the most recent heartbreak coming in a 21-18 loss that gave the Browns a 0-1-1 record."
At some point, this team needs to take a long, hard look at their leadership. Something is broken for them to drop such heartbreaking games and it’s not getting better.

Week 2 reflection: Is Tyrod the chicken or the egg?
Is Tyrod Taylor holding the offense back? Or is the offense holding him back? It’s a fair question Chris Markoch asks after Taylor played lackluster all day on Sunday only to throw a dime at the end when it was needed most. Should he be unleashed more?
