CLEVELAND -- Yes, it was rainy. And sure, quarterback Joe Burrow hardly looked right coming off a calf strain that saw him miss almost all of training camp. But new Cleveland defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz -- and the Browns’ aggressive, new-look defense -- sent a message in a dominant, season-opening victory Sunday over the Cincinnati Bengals.
“In Coach Schwartz we trust,” said Browns defensive end Ogbonnia Okoronkwo. “He was dialing it up, calling perfect plays. We all believe in it.”
