Browns’ season sinks deeper wilth questions about the team’s effort and a possible shakeup

Associated Press  

CLEVELAND — As owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam postured and politicked the past few months to find funding to help them get a new, domed, multipurpose stadium built in Cleveland’s suburbs, their football team collapsed. In the ugly aftermath of losing to a three-win team, the Browns are dealing with questions about player effort, and there’s growing speculation massive changes are ahead for a team that went to the playoffs a year ago and entered this season seriously believing it was a Super Bowl contender. Stefanski offered up a version of his customary “we need to be better” weekly assessment on Monday, a line that rankles fans but accurately sums up the Browns’ troubling state. Also, he might be emerging as a “bridge” for next year with Watson’s future uncertain and the Browns likely headed toward drafting a young QB.
