After a bunch of injuries on both sides, including to the starting quarterbacks, Cleveland survived with a 31-21 victory over the Houston Texans in their home opener to improve to 1-1 on the season.
The Browns got the ball to begin the game, and almost right away, WR Jarvis Landry had to come off the field with a knee injury after making a catch. After getting the ball to midfield, the offense sputtered after LB Christian Kirksey stuffed a run and then QB Baker Mayfield was sacked on third down.
