The Cleveland Browns won’t say who their quarterback for Week 16 will be yet.

The miserable season the Browns have endured took another turn on Sunday afternoon. Cleveland lost to the scintillating Kansas City Chiefs, who kept their winning ways going in Northeast Ohio.

Cleveland’s Jameis Winston started for the Browns, just as he’s done lately. However, his performance might have left more to be desired. That’s why head coach Kevin Stefanski refused to say who would start for the Browns against the rival Cincinnati Bengals on Monday.

Browns reporter Daniel Oyefusi said, “Browns HC Kevin Stefanski isn’t yet ready to say who he will start at QB vs. the Bengals.” He then quoted Stefanski saying, “Anything related to Cincinnati, I’ll update you guys as we get into the week.”

The woeful Browns hope to finish strong with three games remaining this season. Cleveland hasn’t quite met the moment over the past few seasons. Acquiring Deshaun Watson has been an abject disaster at every level, for one.

That move, ultimately, outweighs everything due to how ridiculous it was at the time, and as it stands right now. There aren’t many who are hoping Cleveland has a turnaround due to their organizational decisions lately.

But we’ll see what happens in this quarterback situation. The team will either go with Winston or, potentially, Dorian Thompson-Robinson.

Reactions poured out after Cleveland’s undecided status came out.

“It’s gotta be DTR,” Matt Fontana said on X.

“Start DTR,” Matt Miller added.

“It’s no lock Jameis Winston starts,” Field Yates remarked.

At this point in a lost season, why not just go with the young kid and figure out what you have in him?” Paul Zeise said.

Either way, things are gloomy again in Cleveland.
