2017 season recap:

After coming off a 1-15 record in 2016, the Browns hoped to improve their record in 2017; however, it was more of the same as the Browns were 0-16 under the direction of Hue Jackson. Week after week the Browns tried to improve on both ends of the ball but were unable to. After trading for quarterback Tyrod Taylor and selecting Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Baker Mayfield in the 2018 draft, the Browns hope this season marks the beginning of a turnaround.
