It is Misery Monday, September 19, 2022, for the Cleveland Browns and their fans.
I still can't believe this happened. 🤡🤦🏻♂️#Browns pic.twitter.com/aVCgJP79Tt

It should have been Victory Monday, but the final two minutes of the game went as far away from plan as humanly possible.
I’ve seen A LOT of bad losses in my years as a #Browns fan.
This may be the worst.

Now it is onto Week 3 in warped speed; the Browns host the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night.
It’s Monday I’m not talking about the Browns loss , we got Pittsburgh Thursday & it’s up ⬆️ #Browns

The bright side is that there are no undefeated teams in the AFC North after Week 2.

Here is the Monday edition of Browns Nation news and notes.
1. First AFC North Division Game Is Thursday
The Browns open the week as 3.5 point favorites over the Steelers.

Maybe the best remedy for the Week 2 loss is getting back on the field quickly and handing the Steelers a loss.
It seems unlikely that any significant changes will happen during this short week, but perhaps some could be coming after Thursday’s game.
The #Browns aren’t going to make any big changes this week with a game on Thursday night, but after that they might have some big decisions to make during their mini bye week

2. Injury Updates
Jadeveon Clowney left the game with an ankle injury.
Jadeveon Clowney has been ruled out with an ankle injury. #Browns have a short week as they play the #Steelers Thursday night. We’ll have to wait and see if he’s able to play.

He was later spotted walking out of the stadium in a boot.

His availability to practice or play before Thursday is up in the air at this point.
Jack Conklin did not play in Week 2, but maybe he will make his comeback on Thursday night as Coach Stefanski called him “really close” to being ready to go.
Jack Conklin will NOT play today after being listed as questionable, as @TomPelissero first reported. #Browns continue to be super careful as Conklin makes his way back from knee surgery. Kevin Stefanksi says he’s “really close” to returning to in-game action though.

3. Brissett Is Calm, Cool, And Collected
One positive note from Sunday’s game is that quarterback Jacoby Brissett had a solid performance and left behind any jitters or issues that plagued him in Week 1.
Brissett also had a level-headed view to the Week 2 loss.

He said the team has no time to waste feeling sorry for themselves with a big challenge ahead on Thursday night when the Steelers come to town.
The offense looked and flowed better which can only help this team pick itself up in Week 3 and beyond.
Try to make it a Happy (or at least a less miserable) Monday Browns fans!
