Welcome back to Far-Fetched Friday, where every Friday we give you a bold prediction that we believe will come to fruition. This Friday, we look at the renaissance of the Cleveland Browns.
The Cleveland Browns have long been the laughing stock of the NFL. But as we know, all it takes is one season to correct that image. And while this season has already been a giant leap in that direction, I believe it will last a few more weeks.
It won't be my first time including the Cleveland Browns in the series. I said they would go 8 and 8 a few years ago, and last season I was way off when, before the season started, I said they would get to the AFC Championship game. Yet I'm back for more. I'm not a Browns fan by any means, but it's fun to root for the vast underdog at times.
What they did last weekend against the Pittsburgh Steelers may be looked at as a fluke, but still, they fielded a heavily depleted playing and coaching staff and managed to shock a team that started the season 11 and 0. That means, this week, with everyone back and healthy, the Cleveland Browns go into this matchup with full confidence and belief despite being heavy underdogs.
