As we are now in the month of September, that means football is upon us. The offseason is long gone, the preseason is complete, and 53-man rosters are in place as coaches prepare for Week 1 opponents.
With all that in the rearview mirror, we get to look at some final power rankings before all that shuffling begins with wins and losses affecting things. The latest rankings are from ESPN and their group of beat writers. They ranked the Browns 31st after an offseason and preseason that was confusing, yet predictable, at times for a team looking to simply improve and develop before a hopefully bigger 2027.
The rest of the AFC North shaped up as the following:
- Baltimore Ravens 8th
- Cincinnati Bengals 16th
- Pittsburgh Steelers 21st
Needless to say, the fight for them to go up the rankings is going to be tough. It will all
start in Week 1 when they play a tough Jacksonville Jaguars team
