The Browns have overcome an overwhelming number of injuries and refuse to lose regardless of the circumstances.
After another sweaty victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers this weekend, one of the mainstays of the Browns offensive line, Wyatt Teller summed up the team’s winning streak to this point in the season with some exciting results :
The 40-point wins certainly seem a lot less stressful than the close games the Browns produced.
However, the truth is that in the NFL the differences between two teams are marginal, so the margin for error is very slim.
How your team reacts when their backs are against the wall is a good indication of how far they will go over the course of a season.

This Browns team is one of the toughest in the league and a group that will never give up no matter the situation.
Cleveland is 4-2 in one-score games this season. The two losses were the result of a scoop-sack and score in Pittsburgh and a helmet-tip interception in Seattle.
Regardless of how these two turned out, the other four were one of a kind.
Think about the comeback win against the Colts, the defensive stop against the 49ers, and the two kickoffs against the Ravens and Steelers. Every one-score game has its own story of how the Browns answered the call when it mattered most.
With the number of teams involved dwindling down the stretch of the season, the Cleveland Browns have already established themselves as a team no one wants to face in the playoffs.
Although they are arguably the most injured team in the NFL, they just don’t give up.

Cleveland could have folded in Week 2 when their best player went down.
They could have done it again the first time they lost Deshaun Watson and certainly the second time, ending his season.
But they didn’t and responded to every ounce of advhersity that came their way.
No matter who plays for Cleveland, opponents should be ready for a fistfight because that’s what they’ll get from these scrappy Cleveland Browns.
