The Cleveland Browns outfit has been enjoying a positive season in the league after ages. Fans are pleased, the players seem to be focused and Kevin Stefanski sports a smile on his face.
This could be the season that the Browns return to the Playoffs for the first time since 2002. Quarterback Baker Mayfield, WR’s Odell Beckham Jr., and Jarvis Landry are all listed as ‘questionable’ in the latest injury report.
However, Stefanski hinted that the trio will be part of the starting line-up in an earlier interview. In defense, the likes of Myles Garrett, BJ Goodson, and Karl Joseph will need to be alert in order to thwart the Steelers offense.
