After an 11-win season and a wild card berth a year ago, the Cleveland Browns will be looking to return to the playoffs again in 2024. It will take a strong campaign from quarterback Deshaun Watson to get them there, but the Browns reloaded their roster with a flurry of their own players in free agency, then added young talent in the 2024 NFL draft.
A year ago, they had a favorable strength of schedule as they worked back into the playoffs for the first time in three seasons. This year, however, they get the second place schedule in the AFC North as they get set to take on one of the toughest slates of opponents out there.
According to NFL analyst Warren Sharp, the Browns have one of the toughest schedules in the league. Here is how all 32 teams rank for the upcoming season including the Browns.
