CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Cleveland Browns will try to win their regular season opener today against their turnpike rivals the Pittsburgh Steelers.
You may not remember the last time Cleveland won its opening game. The year was 2004 and the Browns beat the Baltimore Ravens, 20-3, in Cleveland. The Browns finished 4-12 that year.
If you want to know the last time the Browns opened the season by beating the Steelers, you have to go back to 1990. Cleveland won, 13-3, in Cleveland and finished 3-13.
The year before, in 1989, Cleveland opened on the road in Pittsburgh and won 51-0 on the way to a 9-6-1 finish.
