Oaky Afterbirth
After 5 weeks, they're 2-2-1. Kicking cost them 2 losses. They currently lead the NFL in turnovers forced and turnover margin, a statistic that has historically been a major indicator of making the postseason.
Another nice thing: of the 5 rookie of the week awards given out, 4 have gone to the Browns (Ward 2, Mayfield 1, Chubb 1). Also, for those counting at home who ripped the Browns apart for taking Ward over Brad Chubb, that's 2 Rookie of the Week wins for Ward, compared to 1.5 sacks for Chubb.
At this point, it's basically getting Baker more comfortable and confident. While the playoffs are still unlikely, it does seem like this team should be right there in the mix.
