Cleveland Browns: Week 7 NFL Power Rankings (#31)

Last week: 31 (+0)

Record: 1-5

The Browns were competitive in each of their first 5 games, playing a fairly tough schedule over that period, and since their near victory in Baltimore in Thursday Night Football, I never felt that they were the worst team in the league, though they ended up being this year’s last winless team. It felt like they were eventually due to actually get a win and they did just that with a home upset of an overrated Cincinnati Bengals team last week. This week, they have a chance to make it two in a row as they go to Indianapolis, who looked awfully shaky last week, getting blown out by a mediocre Jets team last week. I almost considered putting the Browns above a few teams that actually are above them now. Maybe I’ll do that next week if they can win or come come.
