The Cleveland Browns don’t begin training camp until July, but it is still fun to take an early look at the 2017 schedule for some fun factoids.

The lack of any bombshells stories surrounding the Cleveland Browns has been a relief for fans who are excited about what this young team can do in 2017.

Since the beginning of the offseason, no one associated with the team has done anything to draw negative attention, while the front office has been lauded for a great beginning to the year.

That is all nice, but fans will lose some excitement if the team doesn’t perform well when games actually start being played. And while it is still over three months until the season begins, it is still fun to take another look at the schedule and get excited about the upcoming games.

From the opener at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers to the Week 8 game in London against the Minnesota Vikings, there should be plenty of intrigue throughout the season.

We take a look at that and more in today’s edition of the Daily Dawg Tags.
