Bye Week: A+

If any team is in need of a bye week, it is most certainly the Cleveland Browns. They have been up and down alternating wins and losses before losing two consecutive games after today’s collapse. The slate doesn’t get any easier right away as the Browns play the defending Super Bowl champs after the bye week ends.

Denzel Ward and Greedy Williams should return in two weeks to help with the back end of the defense. Mayfield was a little banged up today, and a week off will do him some good. The bye week is the time to decompress. Get away from football for a few days, rest up, and get back to the drawing board for a team that has yet to win a home game on the season.

There are many issues that plague this team. They have a first-year head coach, second-year quarterback, and one of the youngest rosters in the NFL. The post-bye week schedule is favorable, with five games left inside of the division.

By no means is this the end for the Browns, but they need some serious self-evaluation to turn things around after a 2-4 start.
