The Cleveland Browns return home today to take on the New England Patriots. Here is how you can watch or listen to all the action.

It is Week 5 of the 2016 NFL season and the Cleveland Browns are finally playing their second home game of the season.

Today’s matchup is against the New England Patriots, who are coming off a shutout loss to the Buffalo Bills and are welcoming quarterback Tom Brady back to the lineup.

The game will also mark quarterback Cody Kessler’s first start at home this season.

“We have done a great job the last two games of being competitive and staying in it and giving ourselves a chance toward the end,” Kessler said. “We just have to eliminate mistakes, whether that is me throwing the ball, running the ball, even just missing a play here and there that could be a turning point in the game.

“For me I just want to continue to make the right play and get us in the right position each and every play and change the call if I need to, but at the same time, just eliminate mistakes.”
