A glimmer of hope for Browns?
Since returning to Cleveland as an expansion team in 1999, opening day hasn’t been very kind to the Browns. They’re a miserable 1-10 in season openers. All 11 games have been played at home.
But perhaps the tide will turn this year; after all, for the first time since coming back to Cleveland, the Browns will be on the road - in Tampa - to open the season. Not only that, but new Browns quarterback Jake Delhomme had a 9-2 record as a starter against the Bucs during his days as the Panthers’ quarterback.
