Browns vs. Ravens: Week 15 start time, TV, radio info
By Thomas Moore
The Cleveland Browns will look to avoid going 0-8 at home for the first time since 1999 when they take on the Baltimore Ravens today. Here is how to watch or listen to the game.
The Cleveland Browns play a game today, which means the team has another opportunity to set a dubious franchise record.
The Browns enter today’s game against the Baltimore Ravens at 0-7 at home in 2017. A loss today and it would mark just the second time in franchise history where the Browns finished a regular season without a home win. The last time that happened? In the 1999 expansion season.
The Hue Jackson head coaching era is something to behold, isn’t it?
Speaking of Jackson, an alleged quarterback whisperer and offensive guru, his offense also enters today’s game averaging a league-low 15.2 points per game. That is the lowest mark since Pat Shurmur’s first year as head coach in 2011, when the Browns averaged 13.6 points per game but still managed to win four times.
In Jackson’s two years of serving as his own offensive coordinator, the Browns are averaging just 15.9 points per game, which puts him on par with former head coach Eric Mangini’s teams for offensive ineptitude. Mangini’s teams averaged 16.1 points per game from 2009 to 2010. Of course, they also managed to win 10 games, while Jackson is still looking for his second win.
It is the home finale, meaning that this could be the last time we will see some of the players in a Cleveland uniform at FirstEnergy Stadium. Here is how you can watch or listen to the game:
