The Cleveland Browns had a surprisingly good 2023 NFL season, achieving their first winning season since 2020 and making the playoffs despite starting five different quarterbacks. Joe Flacco was signed off his couch after Deshaun Watson and Dorian Thompson-Robinson went down injured, and went 4-1 in the next five games to lead the Browns to the playoffs, eventually winning Comeback Player of the Year. While the Browns disappointed in the Wild Card round of the playoffs, losing 45-14 to the Houston Texans, and Flacco has since left for the Indianapolis Colts, there are plenty of encouraging signs. The Browns have their franchise quarterback back healthy, as well as two of their starting tackles in Jack Conklin and Jedrick Wills Jr. Moreover, they returned the majority of their opening day starters from last season, including all 11 on the offensive side of the ball and seven Pro Bowlers.
