Analyst Warren Sharp recently highlighted the severity of the situation, pointing to Cleveland\u2019s inability to play with a lead as a clear sign of a unit in crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Cleveland ranks second-worst in the league for offensive snaps played with a lead, recording just two through the start of the 2025 season.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">offensive snaps with a lead in 2025:<\/p>\n<p>0 &#8211; New Orleans Saints<br \/>2 &#8211; Cleveland Browns<br \/>3 &#8211; Tennessee Titans<br \/>15 &#8211; Dallas Cowboys<br \/>18 &#8211; Cincinnati Bengals<br \/>24 &#8211; New York Jets<br \/>52 &#8211; Carolina Panthers<br \/>55 &#8211; Miami Dolphins<br \/>57 &#8211; Las Vegas Raiders<br \/>61 &#8211; San Francisco 49ers<br \/>64 &#8211; Minnesota Vikings\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Warren Sharp (@SharpFootball) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SharpFootball\/status\/1973760127917248841?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 2, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Only the New Orleans Saints, with zero snaps while leading, rank lower.
