The browns should be thankful. The Patriots did them a favor. Every team not realistically playing for a Superbowl is actually losing by winning.

 

The Jaguars completely lost the first half of the season by going 0-8 and now they're losing the second half of it, too, but winning a lot of meaningless games against other bottom feeders to make sure they'll be starting either Gabbert or another team's cast-off QB next season.

 

For anyone that still doesn't understand what's at stake and what it means to be seething for meaningless wins on the tail end of a lost season see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_m...experiment

 

Being patient and willing to take the lumps now is what would lead to true success in the future. Ask the Colts.
