in a 43–13 blowout loss to the Tennessee Titans. Plagued by offensive sloppiness and poor discipline all year, they finished with a record of 6–10. The Browns fired Freddie Kitchens on December 29 hours after the Browns' final game of the season: a 33–23 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, the worst team in the NFL by record. Two days later, the Browns also parted ways with general manager John Dorsey after disagreements regarding structural changes to the front office. Return to Relevancy: 2020–present Stefanski era: 2020–present After the departure of Kitchens and Dorsey, owner Jimmy Haslam elevated Chief Strategy Officer Paul DePodesta's role within the organization, allowing him to lead the latest search for a new head coach.

The Browns' preparation for the 2020 season was limited due to restrictions implemented by the NFL in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which included cancelling in-person OTAs and minicamps, reducing training camp roster sizes, and cancelling all preseason games. The Browns began the 2020 season with a 38-6 blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens on September 13, their 16th consecutive season without a week 1 victory. But the team responded by winning its next four games, the franchise's first four-game winning streak since 2009. During the streak, the Browns also scored 30 or more points in four consecutive games for the first time since 1968. The team's 4–1 record was its best 5-game start to
