Browns fans celebrate 0-16 ‘perfection’
Cleveland Browns fans have long been known for their passion, and they put that on display outside of FirstEnergy Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
An estimated crowd of between 2,500 and 3,200 Browns fans lined the streets outside of FirstEnergy Stadium to protest the team’s 0-16 showing during the 2017 season with “The Perfect Season 2.0 Parade.â€
In the last two seasons, the Browns have posted a league-worst 1-31 record.
With last Sunday’s 28-24 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Browns joined the 2008 Detroit Lions as the only teams in NFL history to finish a season 0-16. And several Lions fans made the trip to Cleveland to express their support of the Browns backers.
The fans were not only protesting the 0-16 season, but also, the consistent losing that has plagued the Browns in recent years.
The Browns have not won on a Sunday afternoon since December 13, 2015, and their 33 straight Sunday losses are an NFL record.
Over the last four-plus years, the Browns have gone 4-49, and the record has not been much better since Dee and Jimmy Haslam officially purchased the team in October of 2012.
Also, with Buffalo clinching a wildcard berth in the AFC last week, the Browns now have the longest-standing playoff drought in the NFL.
