Browns claim 2nd 0-16 season in NFL history with loss to Steelers
The 2008 Detroit Lions have company.
The Cleveland Browns sealed the second 0-16 regular-season finish in NFL history with a 28-24 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.
The Browns had a chance to avoid a winless season, but wide receiver Corey Coleman dropped a pass on fourth down in the final minutes to end those hopes.

The Steelers gave the Browns the perfect opportunity to escape their fate, sitting stars Ben Roethlisberger and Le'Veon Bell as well as a handful of other notable starters.
The Browns have won a single game in the last two seasons. Head coach Hue Jackson is still expected to return for a third campaign in charge of the struggling team.
