The Cleveland Browns fulfilled their destiny on Sunday, losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers to finish the perfect season. In their case, though, perfection is losing all 16 games in spectacular fashion.
Fans in Cleveland will get their parade after all, and the ineptitude of this current stretch of Browns football is forever enshrined with the 2008 Lions, who also went 0-16. Cleveland got close last year, but a Week 16 win over the Chargers gave them a 1-15 season.
The Browns had a chance against the Steelers late but failed on a 4th and 2 when Corey Coleman dropped an easy pass that would have given the Browns the first down.

It’s been that kind of year for the Browns. Well, it’s been that kind of few years, really. Head coach Hue Jackson fell to 1-31 in his Browns career, which made some wonder why he’s still sticking around in Cleveland. Even the Browns’ team Twitter account had to admit things are pretty bleak.

Some will ask for changes in Cleveland, but what’s clear is that the franchise is a complete mess right now. At least they have a bunch of draft picks to use this spring. I’m sure it will work out.
