Wow, 4-4 the hard way. To be fair, it was a rough opening to the schedule, facing four playoff teams, including both Super Bowl finalists on the road. Brandon Weeden is playing just okay and clearly misses his favorite target Davone Bess, who is still sitting out as part of a contract dispute. LaRod Stephens-Howling missed six games with a shoulder injury and that has impacted the run game as Brian Leonard is good in relief but can't carry the load himself. As a result, the offense ranks 19th in yards and 23rd in points.

The defense has also struggled with injuries, as NT Phillip Taylor and ILB D'Qwell Jackson, who normally team up to shutdown the interior have each missed four games. The corners have also struggled, with Joe Haden missing two games and Leon McFadden missing 5 as the team is ranked 20th in yards and 11th in points.

Despite the 0-4 start, we are tied with Pittsburgh atop the AFC North standings while Baltimore at 4-5 and Cincinnati at 3-5 are close behind.
