- ESPN Power Rankings: Where did the Browns land in Week 8?
Expectations for the Cleveland Browns were very low when the season started, with most sportsbooks setting their over/under on win total this year at 5.5 wins. The team already has five wins with 10 games remaining and has found a way week after week to pull off come-from-behind wins; this team is never out of it, even when they face an early deficit, as they did against the Tennessee Titans .
In the piece laying out their power rankings, they also answered the question of what has been their biggest addition in 2026. The answer for ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi was head coach Todd Monken , writing, "The first-year coach has the Browns at 5-2 for the second time since the franchise returned to Cleveland in 1999. Quarterback Deshaun Watson is playing his best football with the Browns, and the NFL's second-youngest team has taken on Monken's ethos as a tough, resilient bunch with a league-high five winning drives."
