CLEVELAND, Ohio — What started as a routine midseason matchup has suddenly transformed into a potential flashpoint for the Cleveland Browns' entire season. Sunday’s game against the New York Jets — a team that just traded away multiple defensive stars in a stunning trade deadline fire sale — now looms as a critical test that could determine the emotional trajectory of the Browns’ remaining schedule.
On the latest Orange and Brown Talk podcast, the Cleveland.com team laid out the high stakes surrounding this matchup with unusual candor, warning that a loss to the depleted Jets could trigger a full-blown meltdown within the organization and fanbase.
