The Browns haven’t been quite as big of a circus as the Jets under Freddie Kitchens’ watch, but they’re getting there.

Don’t be deceived by Cleveland’s recent three-game winning streak. This is a team that was supposed to be near the top of the AFC North in 2019. Instead, they’ve been nothing short of a joke. Baker Mayfield can’t figure out when to stop talking. Odell Beckham Jr. has done nothing in his first season with the team. Myles Garrett…well, we all know his deal. Kitchens hasn’t been good, either, as his playcalling is more questionable than his decision to wear a “Pittsburgh started it” before playing the Steelers last week.

Browns’ fans are calling for Kitchens’ head less than a year into his tenure as head coach. There’s every chance that becomes a reality and Kitchens becomes the first casualty of last year’s coaching carousel.
