As the NFL heads into Week 18, the Cleveland Browns are poised to extend their record for quarterback turnover. Bailey Zappe is set to become the Browns' 40th starting quarterback since 1999 when he takes the field against the Baltimore Ravens. This number stands as the highest in the league, surpassing the Chicago Bears, who have utilized 30 different quarterbacks over the same period.

The Browns have faced significant challenges this season, particularly after losing starting quarterback Deshaun Watson to a season-ending Achilles injury in Week 7. In the absence of Watson, the franchise turned to Jameis Winston and Dorian Thompson-Robinson. Now, as they approach the season finale, Zappe is being given the opportunity to lead the team in their last game of the season.

This situation underscores the ongoing difficulty the Browns have experienced in maintaining stability at the quarterback position. As Zappe prepares for this crucial matchup, the team and its supporters look forward to seeing how he will perform in this pivotal role against a familiar divisional rival.
