What’s the best way to describe the Cleveland Browns’ season opener? Everything we hoped would go right didn’t, while everything we feared would go wrong did.
The Browns, entering 2019 as an NFL darling and playing in front of a deafening home crowd, spent an entire afternoon getting punched in the mouth. More often than not, it was Cleveland throwing the fists. The end result was a 43-13 drubbing by the Tennessee Titans that had most fans heading for the exits after the third quarter.
The sad part is it sure didn’t seem like this would be the result early on.
