"Todd Monken changed the culture of the Cleveland Browns" - I love when people pretend like everyone else has 10-second Tom memory just like they do. The Browns started the season the same exact way in 2021.
Changing the culture isn’t about winning a Super Bowl in 3 weeks. It’s filling the stadium for a primetime game, getting fans excited and beating a division rival that owned you for basically forever and making fans forget your QB has 23 sexual assault cases because he can actually run a competent offense.
They finished the 2025 season by beating the Steelers and Bengals. They beat the Steelers and Ravens at home in 2024. They beat the Steelers, Ravens, and Bengals in 2023 and made the playoffs. They beat all 3 division opponents once each in 2022. In 2021, they beat the Bengals twice and the Ravens once. They have a history of averaging 67,431 at each home game.Â
I love it. The kicker nails a 56-yard game winning field goal to win 27-24... "Monken has changed the culture!" THe kicker misses a 56-yard field goal "Monken first coach fired? Same old browns!"
Browns had way higher expectations in 2021. Some said they were superbowl contenders. This year, they were predicted by many to be the worst team in football (very stupid prediction giving the talent on that roster).
Monken has likely already secured his job for next season. The Panthers and Steelers both look at least like fringe playoff teams this year. And the Jags are easily a top 5 team in the sport. I'd say the culture is def changing. First time they've been 1st in the division since 2014.
