Todd Monken and the Cleveland Browns continue to exceed expectations as they have achieved a feat the franchise hasn’t seen since 2014 following their 13-10 upset win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday afternoon.
Monken is going through the first season of his head coaching career with the Browns. He has surprised many by having Cleveland win three straight games and take over first place of the AFC North Division standings.
Even though the win streak ended after losing to the New York Jets, Cleveland got back on the win column. They took advantage of Lamar Jackson’s absence from Baltimore due to injury, having a strong defensive performance to secure the home win over their division rivals. This resulted in their best start to a season after six games, per insider Jordan Schultz.
