Why are Cleveland Browns fans still stressed?
The Cleveland Browns are on the verge of ending the longest active playoff drought in the NFL as they enter Week 16 with a record of 10-4. A win gets them in, with a week to spare — and they could even be in play for the AFC North in Week 17 should the Steelers lose.
Even so, some fans are still a little stressed out. But why?
Perhaps it’s the fact that this team hasn’t won a playoff game since returning to the NFL, or just the 20-plus years of struggles overall. Whatever the reason, some Cleveland football fans can’t stop worrying about a season that has been quite the success already.
The story on that, and more, can be found in today’s Daily Dawg Tags.
