The Cleveland Browns’ current losing streak, dating to last season, reached double figures with a 23-20 overtime loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, Oct. 4. Chances are it won’t approach the NFL record of 26 straight established by the expansion Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who lost all 14 in 1976 and their first 12 in 1977.
