Cleveland Browns schedule release features four prime time games
By Randy Gurzi
The NFL released its official 2019 schedule and the Cleveland Browns ended up with four games that will be featured on prime time television
Throughout the day on Wednesday, Cleveland Browns fans were able to find leaks about their 2019 schedule. This came despite the league not releasing anything officially until 8:00 p.m. EST.
One thing we found out was that the Browns were going to have a Monday Night Football game in Week 2 against the New York Jets. This game was the first to be leaked, but we later discovered that the Tennessee Titans would be their Week 1 opponent.
Now, the league has finally made it official and we see the rest of the schedule, which comes courtesy of the team’s official website:

What sticks out most about this is the fact that the Browns will have four games under the bright lights — two of which will come in the Dawg Pound as they host the Los Angeles Rams in Week 2 on Sunday Night Football and the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11 on Thursday Night Football.
The game against the Rams will be exciting as it features two potentially explosive offenses and comes on the heels of their Monday Night game against the Jets. That game vs. New York will also have some nostalgia as the Browns ended their incredibly long losing streak last season in Week 3 against this very team.
Other intriguing battles include their Week 5 game against Jimmy Garoppolo and the San Francisco 49ers which is followed by a Week 6 contest with the Seattle Seahawks.
A Week 7 bye is nicely placed and gives them plenty of time to prepare to face the defending Super bow Champion New England Patriots. This one could be interesting as Baker Mayfield and Tom Brady will share the field for the first time. We already saw Brady “pass the torch” to Baker in the NFL 100 commercial, will the same happen here?

One game that may not seem like a huge deal at first, but could have a lot of storylines is their Week 15 contest with the Arizona Cardinals. Should the Cards end up drafting Kyler Murray with the No. 1 pick, we will see him and his former Oklahoma teammate, Baker Mayfield square off. There’s also the added element of Mayfield and Kingsbury having some bad blood as the quarterback wasn’t too shy about claiming his treatment at Texas Tech wasn’t great.
