The Browns believe that this roster can go far this year. And they are built to do just that prior to several key contracts are up.
The first four games are a crucial element in this year’s fortunes. If Cleveland can come out of these contests with a possible win-loss record, then perhaps the next string of difficult games against hard opponents will work itself out into a positive record once Deshaun Watson is released from his 11-game suspension.
The last time the Browns began the season 2-0-0 was in 1993 when Bill Belichick was the head coach.
