The 2024 NFL season has not been kind to the Cleveland Browns offense.

Through five games, the team ranks last in the NFL in total offensive yards averaging just over 239 per game.

The poor performance came despite the franchise’s decision to make sweeping changes this offseason, replacing a run-oriented offense with one based on three- and four-receiver sets to showcase the playmakers’ ability to gain yards in space to win.

One of those playmakers – wide receiver Amari Cooper – particularly struggled earlier in the year.

Cooper accounted for 208 yards — nearly a quarter of the team’s total — by catching 20 of the 47 targets thrown his way.

The wide receiver’s two touchdowns are tied for the team lead with wide receiver Jerry Jeudy.

Despite the struggles Cleveland faced earlier in the year, Cooper believes the offense can bounce back this week against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Analyst Daryl Ruiter shared Cooper’s thoughts in one current articlewhich confirmed the team would be “making changes” to shake up the offense, according to the veteran wide receiver.

“One of the things that Coach (Kevin Stefanski) stresses is that we need a spark and that can come from anywhere and they’re definitely doing some things to create that spark again, I won’t give that away, but that’s definitely the case a focus,” Cooper told Ruiter.

Cleveland’s offense ranks near the bottom in average points per game, averaging just 15.8 points per outing.

The Browns have yet to score more than 20 points this season, a trend the team will look to continue on Sunday against the Eagles.
