Good morning, Browns fans, and welcome to the home opener!
Cleveland comes off a win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and will look to start the season 2-1 for the first time in three years. Standing in their way are the Carolina Panthers, who have been on a scoring binge to open the season and are second in the NFL at 35.5 points per game.
The Browns are also hoping to give fans something to cheer about, especially since the fan base is more than willing to voice its displeasure, particularly toward
quarterback Deshaun Watson.
The club is countering that with plans to recognize newly retired running back Nick Chubb, as well as inducting Alex Mack, Brian Brennan, and Lou Rymkus to the Legends Club.
No matter what happens, it will be an interesting day, and Dawgs By Nature will be there every step of the way, so be sure to join us.
Let’s get the day rolling with the latest edition of the Sunday Dawg Chow.
