The Browns wrapped up the 2023 season on Jan. 14, 2024, following their loss to the Texans in the Wild Card round. Players cleaned out their lockers and spoke with media, and Head Coach Kevin Stefanski held a season-ending press conference at CrossCountry Mortgage Campus.

WR David Bell has found opportunities to contribute and shine in the Browns receiving corps this season. He scored his first receiving touchdown of his career in Week 14 against the Jaguars, when he caught a short pass from QB Joe Flacco and ran 41 yards for the touchdown. Then in Week 18, Bell scored two receiving touchdowns in the fourth quarter. In his second season with the Browns, Bell has 14 receptions for 167 receiving yards and three touchdowns.

Five Browns were selected for the 2024 Pro Bowl Games. G Joel Bitonio, WR Amari Cooper, DE Myles Garrett, TE David Njoku and CB Denzel Ward were all selected with Bitonio, Garrett and Cooper being voted as starters. The 2024 Pro Bowl Games will be a multi-day AFC versus NFC competition culminating on Sunday, Feb. 4 at Camping World Stadium in Orlando.

RB Jerome Ford played a crucial role in the Browns' win over the Jets in Week 17, both in the run and the pass game. Ford rushed for 64 yards on 12 carries, with his longest run of the day for 16 yards. He also had two receptions for 57 yards and two touchdowns, including a 50-yard touchdown pass he caught from QB Joe Flacco in the second quarter. It was the first time this season that Ford has recorded 50 rushing and receiving yards in a game.

WR Amari Cooper recorded 11 receptions for a career-high 265 yards with two touchdowns. His 265 receiving yards are a Browns single-game record and the most by any NFL player this season. He has four career 200-yard receiving games.

TE David Njoku had another key offensive performance for the Browns in Week 15, as he caught a 2-yard touchdown pass in the back of the end zone to put the Browns on the board. He also had two catches over 30 yards in the fourth quarter to move the Browns downfield and set them up for the game-winning field goal. Njoku finished the game with 10 receptions for 104 yards and one touchdown.

In two games with the Browns, QB Joe Flacco has completed 49 of 89 passes for 565 yards and five passing touchdowns. In his second start at quarterback, Flacco became the first Brown to throw three touchdown passes of at least 30 yards in the same game since Brian Sipe on Dec. 21, 1980. Flacco was named the Browns starting quarterback for the remainder of the season following the Browns' win over the Jaguars in Week 14.

CB Martin Emerson Jr. had one of his best defensive games against the Jaguars with his two interceptions in the second quarter – which is a career high. Emerson finished the game with four tackles, three passes defensed and two interceptions. He leads the Browns this season with four interceptions and 10 passes defensed.

LB Anthony Walker Jr. continues to have a major impact both on and off the field for the Browns, as he was nominated for the 2023 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award – which acknowledges NFL players who excel on the field and demonstrate a passion for creating a lasting impact beyond the game in their communities. He was also selected by his teammates as the Browns 2023 Ed Block Courage Award recipient – which is given annually to a member of each NFL team who best exemplifies the qualities of Ed Block, based on courage, compassion, commitment and community.

S Grant Delpit has played a key role for the Browns in their secondary and overall defensive success this season. Through 11 games, he has 70 total tackles – 55 of which are solo tackles – and three passes defended. He has a split sack, a fumble recovery that he returned for 14 yards and an interception.

LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah had a dominant defensive performance against the Broncos. He totaled 12 tackles – seven solo tackles and five assisted tackles. He also had two tackles for loss and recorded the Browns only sack on QB Russell Wilson for a loss of nine yards. Owusu-Koramoah made his presence known on the defensive side of the ball from the first quarter, as he forced Wilson to fumble, which the Browns recovered.
