The Cleveland Browns are a quarter of the way through the 2019 Season. How has the team done so far? It’s time to grade all phases of this 2-2 club.

With Septemeber past us, we are entering the second quarter of the 2019 NFL Season. So far, the Cleveland Browns have managed to break even as they enter the fifth week of the year with a record of 2-2.

While that isn’t an ideal mark, they have to be satisfied with where they’re currently at in their division. Following a blowout loss in Week 1 at home to the Tennesse Titans, the Browns found a way to dispatch the New York Jets on the road.

They followed up that Monday Night Football win by dropping their second home game, this time to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday Night Football. As frustrating as that loss was, they erased the bad taste by making it look easy in Baltimore as they took the Ravens down a peg, moving them to 2-2 on the season as well.

Not only did they get the road win over the divisional rival, but they’re now in first place as the two clubs are tied and the Browns own the tiebreaker thanks to that victory.

This gives them a whole lot of momentum heading into the meat and potatoes of their schedule, which starts with a Monday Night Football meeting with the San Francisco 49ers.

Before that game kicks off, we will look back over the first four weeks of the season and hand out our report cards for the Browns offense, defense, and special teams.
