The Cleveland Browns are once again spending the offseason in the AFC North basement so we’re already looking ahead to 2016 to the Browns’ schedule of opponents.
The Cleveland Browns 2016 schedule of opponents is set.
Following another dumpster fire of a season, the Browns head into the offseason once again “waiting for next year.” There are multiple reports that the Browns are likely to clean house. Head coach Mike Pettine and GM Ray Farmer could be fired as soon as Sunday evening. Cleveland is already being linked to former Philadelphia Eagles head coach, Chip Kelly, who was fired last week.
Whoever ends up coaching the Browns next season will have their hands full. Cleveland has been miserable since returning to the league, though the team’s 2016 schedule does look like it could be soft enough for the new regime to make some progress.
In 2016, the AFC North will play the AFC East and the NFC East. Since Cleveland finished last in the North again this year, that means it will play the two last place teams from the AFC divisions it is not playing, in this instance, the AFC West and AFC South. That means games against a currently terrible Chargers team and the Tennessee Titans.
The order these games will be played in won’t be known until the schedule comes out in the Spring. Still, take a look at Cleveland’s full slate of opponents below.
