It’s not the end of the world if the Cleveland Browns lose their regular season opener this Sunday.
That sounds like a pretty understandable thing to say, I know. After all, the Browns have won one Week 1 contest since 1999, and it occurred 15 years ago. By this point, Cleveland falling on opening day is practically routine.
Still, it’s important to remember a loss in Week 1 doesn’t derail an entire season, especially since many will be quick to overreact if this iteration of the team falls flat in its first regular season game.
