Ladies and Gentlemen the waiting is over! We are back for everything Cleveland Browns. The Browns are coming off an historic season. Making the playoffs for the first time since 2002 last year the Browns look to get back to their winning ways again this season! Let's get to it.
Season openers have not been to kind to the Cleveland Browns since their reemergence in 1999. 11 Straight opening day losses for the Browns. We here really wish we could report to you that this trend is over but that is not the case. The Browns opened up their season against division and in state rival the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Browns fell behind 20-12 late. When the offense finally hit pay dirt they couldn't capitalize on the 2 pt conversion and would end up falling 20-18. An NFL record 12 straight opening day losses. One thing is for sure especially after last year. The team will overcome this loss and bounce back. Mark our words.
*Week 1 Box Score. Cleveland Browns @ Cincinnati Bengals*
Zach Mettenberger in his Season debut struggled with the new offensive scheme a little bit and even had to exit for a few plays with a minor shoulder injury. Though he look confused at times he made a lot of great throws that were just flat out dropped. Mettenberger has been working hard and with the departure of Johnny Manziel he can settle in without the drama of Johnny breathing down his back.
Coming off a reemergence of his own Josh Gordon was held catch less throughout the first half. The second half he turned it up though. Breaking open on a slant in the 4th to grab the only Browns Touchdown of the day. Josh is looking to be in the best shape of his life. Good luck this season secondary's.
*The Browns defense got pressure on Andy Dalton all day. Whitner with the sack here.*
*Tramon Williams scoops up the Fumble. Browns couldn't capitalize*
