The Cleveland Browns have won their season opener in Nashville against the Tennessee Titans 20-13. They relied heavily on their defense, who didn't surrender a TD until 2:20 left in the game. With what looked like the game put away, the Browns had the ball and a 20-6 lead with 4:45 seconds to play. After a 4 yard run by Kareem Hunt to set up a 2nd and 6, Baker Mayfield dropped back to pass and threw an interception to Titans linebacker Brennan Scarlett. This allowed the Titans to take advantage of the short field and find the end zone on a 34 yard TD pass from Marcus Mariota to A.J. Brown. After a 3-and-out and a shanked punt, the Titans took back possession with their sights on tying the ballgame with 1:48 to play. Despite a valiant effort by the Titans offense, which drove down to the 10-yard line, the Browns D was able to get the 4th down stop with a Denzel Ward pass deflection in the endzone with just 9 seconds to play.

There are high hopes for this years' Browns squad after high expectations were not met last season. Following the 6-10 campaign, the Browns hope to push for a playoff position this season. QB Baker Mayfield looked great in his one chance to shine during week 3, completing 20 of 27 passes for 243 yards and 3 TDs while not turning the ball over. The Browns also saw a heavy dose of free agent signing backup QB Chase Daniel who showed he can manage the offense if needed. It looks as if Taysom Hill, also a free agent signee from New Orleans will make the final roster as the 3rd QB.

The team's owner released the following statement:
"We our proud of the Cleveland Browns heritage, and that is why we have decided to turn our attention to our past when designing these new uniforms. The motto we rolled with during this process was 'let the past lead us into the future.' As a result, you see a modern spin on our classic jersey sets for home and away, and our new orange color rush set pays tribute to where this team just came from in terms of uniforms. In early release testing, the fans have loved this orange set. We will be wearing these each time we play a home game in primetime going forward. If we are playing an away primetime game, the white pants shown on our home uniform will be paired with our away white jersey, for an all-white look!"

Browns Finish Season at 6-10, Fire HC Freddie Kitchens
The Cleveland Browns announced today they have parted ways with 1st-year head coach Freddie Kitchens. Kitchens took over the reins of the Browns franchise in 2019 after a meteoric rise in 2018, which saw him go from Runningbacks Coach, to Offensive Coordinator mid-season. The Browns management cited Kitchens's great relationship with young QB Baker Mayfield as to why he was given the head coaching job. Unfortunately for Kitchens and the Browns, 2019 was nothing like the experts predicted. The season was largely highlighted by discipline issues and what insiders have reported as a divided locker room, with some loyal to Kitchens, while others feeling like the game planning and weekly preparation was disorganized. It seems Browns' management agrees with the latter, as they mentioned both the lack of on-field discipline and the disorganization as reasons why they have fired Kitchens. The Browns will now conduct their 2nd head coaching search in as many years, as the rest of the NFL prepares for the Playoffs.
Wish me luck in the attempted rebuild of the Cleveland Browns!
