Cleveland Browns Fans Might Be Stuffing the Pro Bowl Ballot Box, With Nine Players Among the Leading Vote Getters
By Jason Lisk
The Cleveland Browns are still mathematically alive for the postseason. Sure, it requires more things happening than there have been Browns’ quarterbacks in the last 15 years, including a Chiefs-Chargers tie, but they are alive.
This unusual and weird feeling of being not completely terrible has apparently led Browns fans to take to the online Pro Bowl voting en force. The ballots close tonight, and heading into the home stretch, NINE Cleveland Browns are among the leading vote-getters at their positions. That’s out of 38 possible spots on offense, defense, and special teams.
To put that in some perspective, Green Bay is second with five players (Aaron Rodgers, Jordy Nelson, Josh Sitton, John Kuhn, and JarrettBush). The eight current division leaders–combined–have ten players among the leading vote-getters, with Arizona, Detroit, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis having none.
So yeah. Enjoy the Pro Bowl, Cleveland. You can’t vote your way into the playoffs, unfortunately.
