Awful Cleveland Browns go 0-16, rival 2008 Detroit Lions as worst NFL team ever

How bad are the Cleveland Browns, you ask?
Well, honestly, they are as bad as a team can possibly be.
For most NFL teams — in fact, for all of them besides Cleveland — it would be nearly impossible not to improve upon a 1-15 overall record from the season prior.
However, the Browns were not only unable to improve upon last year’s 1-15 record — they couldn’t even match it in 2017.
Yep, Cleveland finished off the year 0-16 against the rest of the league after dropping Sunday’s contest to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ backups.
With the loss, Cleveland became just the second NFL team to ever go 0-16, joining the 2008 Detroit Lions.
Quite an impressive feat. You guys couldn’t even accidentally win one?
Unsurprisingly, Twitter made fun of the Browns … again:
CLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLeveland Browns

#Browns just made history by following up a 1-15 season with their first winless season. You literally can’t get any worse. 🤦🏻♀️

Browns have 1 win in 2 seasons in a league built on parity. Brown are built on parody.

How can anyone watch the Browns and think they are headed in the right direction. Losing to the Steelers backups is horrible.

If Tennessee fans were able to block Schiano, Browns fans should be able to rise up and compel change in Cleveland.
