CLEVELAND — For more than three years, the Browns have only tripped on the road.

Cleveland hasn’t won an away game since Oct. 11, 2015, a losing streak that has reached 25 straight — just one shy of the NFL record for road futility held by the Detroit Lions (2007-10).

As the Browns prepared for Sunday’s game in Cincinnati against the Bengals (5-5), and a clumsy reunion with fired former coach Hue Jackson, interim coach Gregg Williams delivered a specific message to his players about the losing streak.

“Don’t hide from it,” Williams said. “Be aware of it.”

It’s impossible to miss.
