The 2025-26 NFL offseason for the Cleveland Browns was an interesting one following the draft. Despite needing a quality quarterback to lead the franchise, the Browns opted to pass up on Shedeur Sanders for not one but five rounds of the draft. <\/p>
And as Sanders continued to slip and slide in the draft, the Browns finally selected him in round 5, two rounds after they selected Dillon Gabriel for the same position. What followed was chaos as Cleveland went through veteran QB Joe Flacco, whom they traded to inter-division rivals, the Bengals, and Gabriel, who was extremely inconsistent, before giving Sanders a shot. <\/p>
While the Browns’ defense was the only highlight of the season, led by sack king Myles Garrett, who broke the NFL<\/a> record with 23 sacks in the regular season, the rest of the team was just abysmal. At the end of the season, the Browns parted ways with head coach Kevin Stefanski and will look for a new direction in the upcoming 2026-27 NFL season<\/a>.<\/p> The Cleveland Browns belong to the AFC North division, which, until now, was regarded as one of the toughest divisions in the league. That perspective may change this season with the Steelers and Ravens both hiring new head coaches and the Bengals and Browns looking to get back to winning ways. <\/p> This time around, the AFC teams will be hosting 8 games while playing 9 games on the road as per the NFL’s rotation policy. And the Browns’ 17-game regular season slate will comprise 6 divisional games, along with 4 games against the AFC South, and 4 games against the NFC South. <\/p> Additionally, the remaining three games will comprise 2 games against the last placed teams from the AFC East, AFC West, and the NFC East since the Browns finished last in their division last season. <\/p> Understanding <\/em><\/strong>how to bet on NFL games<\/em><\/strong><\/a> is crucial for maximizing the value of our expert picks and making informed wagers each week.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>Cleveland Browns Schedule for 2026-27 NFL Season<\/h2>
