The 2023 season was the Cleveland Browns' 71st season as a member of the National Football League (NFL), their 75th overall, and their fourth under the head coach/general manager tandem of Kevin Stefanski and Andrew Berry. They improved upon their 7–10 record from the previous season, finishing with an 11–6 record and clinching their first winning season and playoff berth since 2020.[1]
In the season, the Browns started five different quarterbacks: Deshaun Watson, Dorian Thompson-Robinson, P. J. Walker, Joe Flacco, and Jeff Driskel. This marked the most starting quarterbacks in a season in franchise history and the most by any team since the 1987 New England Patriots. Although the Browns advanced to the playoffs, they were blown out by the Houston Texans in the Wild Card Round, 45–14. Flacco, who did not have a team for eleven weeks, won the Associated Press Comeback Player of the Year award for clinching their spot in the playoffs and winning four of his five starts.
