19. Cleveland Browns (15)

Disappointing doesn’t even begin to describe how this season turned out to be for the Cleveland Browns when taking into consideration this was a team with Super Bowl expectations early on, and now it looks like they will be watching the playoffs from home.

Not only were the Browns expected to take a major leap as a contender in the AFC, but acquiring Odell Beckham Jr. from the New York Giants was also supposed to take this offense to new levels as well.

Instead, Cleveland is on the verge of an offseason that could be filled with numerous changes, including whether Freddie Kitchens still deserves to be the head coach of this team.

Some will make the case that Kitchens should at least one more year of calling the shots, but also the Browns aren’t in position to let another year with a talented team go to complete waste.

One can only imagine how different things would have been in Cleveland if the Browns just managed to win a few more key games, but unfortunately there’s nothing they can do about it now.

Losing to the Arizona Cardinals of all teams 38-24 sums up what kind of year it’s been in Cleveland, but at least there’s still hope for the future with the talent to work with on both sides of the football.
