Entering the first week of the 2019 season, the Cleveland Browns were looking to end an ugly stretch if opening weekends. Cleveland entered the year on a 14-season winless streak as they hadn’t notched a victory in Week 1 since a 2004 win over the Baltimore Ravens.
This year felt as though things could be different with Baker Mayfield, Odell Beckhma, Jr., and Myles Garrett as the faces of the franchise. Sadly, it was not as they dropped this one against the Tennessee Titans in as ugly a way as possible.
Worse than just losing, the team continued to have a giant issue that carried over from the past — penalties.
