And honestly it'll be Stefanski in a landslide..........anyway it should be as far as I'm concerned.
Only two teams have a better record, the Ravens and 49ers, and CLE has beaten them both. At 11-5 the Browns have the 3rd best W-L record tied with 4 other teams. They play in the only division that has no team with a losing record, so every game in their division is a street fight, which is over a third of their games. They have only played 4 teams with a losing record, and I haven't checked but I think they have played against, and won against, playoff teams more than anyone. Someone else can check that but I think I'm right.
That team has had more injuries to star/important players than probably any team in the NFL this year yet he figures out ways to win games, including games they "should lose". 3 starting QBs, literally 2nd and 3rd string guys and a starter playing with a bad shoulder under center this year.
IMO if Chubb didn't get hurt there is an easy argument to make that they could be the #1 seed in the AFC and have the best record in the NFL right now. This season he really should win his second COTY award in a 4 season span. If you look at the other HCs that have done that it's impressive company.
If Chubb and Watson come back normal/healthy next year look TF out for this team.
Like I said a bit ago if I am a team/HC going into the playoffs I do not want anything to do with the Rams or Browns. And the Browns especially because they don't have to have a "great day" to beat anyone right now. They can have a "good day" and do it.
