During Ben Roethlisberger’s illustrious 18-year career in the NFL, Big Ben is often regarded as the true ‘owner’ to the Steelers’ AFC North rivals, the Cleveland Browns. From destroying Cleveland on Sundays, to now trolling them in hilarious fashion on his podcast, Footbahlin with Ben Roethlisberger, there is simply no escape for Browns fans.
Roethlisberger touched on what exactly has gone wrong with the Cleveland Browns’ 2024 season so far, and why fans of the team will most likely go into hiding soon enough. The former Steelers’ QB echoed that fans of Cleveland will carry out a similar tradition that the infamous 2017 winless Browns had undergone, stating that “I think what you’re going to see soon, is you’re going to see the brown paper bag come back out over the head.”
While Roethlisberger believes Cleveland is headed to the “dumps” with their 2024 seasonal aspirations, the Browns may finish with a record that rivals one of their all-time worst seasonal performances in 2015: 1-15.
