Browns offense: Tiger Slam of incompetence

Posted Nov. 17 at 01:07 AM

The Brown right now can make a case that they have the worst offense ever. Certainly the worst of the modern era.

At the end of last season, they did not score an offensive touchdown in any of their last six games. And now, after getting shut out on Monday night, their offense has scored only 5 TDs in nine games.

Total that up and you get only 5 TDs in 15 games – almost a full season of work.

Compare that to the other futile offenses below. Since the league switched to a 16-game season in 1978, only five teams have failed to average over a touchdown per game. If the Browns can’t come up with 7 TDs in their final seven games, they will become the No. 1 team on this list.
