Английская Википедия:2022 Cleveland Browns season
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox NFL team season The 2022 season was the Cleveland Browns' 70th in the National Football League (NFL), their 74th overall, and their third under the head coach/general manager tandem of Kevin Stefanski and Andrew Berry. The Browns failed to improve upon their 8–9 record from the previous season as they finished 7–10. The Browns failed to qualify for the playoffs for the second straight season[1] The Browns introduced a new midfield logo, with Brownie the Elf; this is their first season with a new midfield logo since 2016.
On March 18, the Browns acquired quarterback Deshaun Watson from the Houston Texans in exchange for six draft selections including three first-round picks. Former starting quarterback Baker Mayfield was later dealt to the Carolina Panthers. Due to Watson's 11-game suspension levied as a result of several sexual assault accusations and lawsuits stemming from his time in Houston,[2] the Browns started backup Jacoby Brissett for the games that Watson was forced to miss. The team posted a 4–7 record under Brissett before Watson made his debut in Week 13. Шаблон:TOC limit
