Away: Tennessee Titans
The Tennessee Titans are looking to build off their run to the AFC Championship Game last season, but in reality they are still fighting for a playoff spot in a quickly crowding AFC field. They re-signed Ryan Tannehill and Derrick Henry to bring back most of last year’s offense.
Head coach Mike Vrabel has a lot to work on this offseason, especially under such weird circumstances. They brought back a lot of their stars, but they lost captains Wesley Woodyard and Jurrell Casey this offseason. It’s hard to decide how losing leadership on the field will impact a team, especially this offseason.
The Titans are another team that is going to fight for those Wild Card spots, although with the Texans seemingly getting worse, they could fight for the division. Still, the Browns need to win this game to show they are ready to go up against contending teams and come out on top.
Last season, the Browns lost their last six away games. After beating the Baltimore Ravens in front of their own fans, they spent the last three months losing all games on the road. It was the main reason for the Browns fall from grace.
Hopefully this road game can happen early in the season to set the tone. The same-old Browns lose games on the road when they look similar on paper. If they want to prove they aren’t those same-old Browns, they need to win games like these.
