Throughout the first part of the season, the Browns jumped at every opportunity to get the ball first. Whenever they won the coin toss, the Browns took the ball. And when the other team won it, they usually wound up with the ball first because of the opponent’s deferral.
The results, unfortunately, didn’t follow. After opening the season with a touchdown drive, the Browns followed with a field goal and three consecutive punts in Weeks 2-5. Following a Week 7 bye, Cleveland altered its strategy and deferred after winning the coin toss. The results were similarly disappointing in road losses at New England and Denver.
A trip back home, though, flipped the script on the Browns’ opening script.
In three consecutive must-win games at FirstEnergy Stadium, the Browns offense opened the game with a touchdown. Throw in the opening touchdowns Week 1 and Week 6 against the Seahawks, and the Browns have scored touchdowns on their opening drives in five of six home games.
The three most recent ones have been pivotal, allowing Cleveland to jump on its opponents in games it rarely, if ever, trailed.
“I think that is the goal every week is to start fast on offense and get a three-and-out and defense,” Browns coach Freddie Kitchens said. “We were able to do that. We need to continue doing that moving forward. We have done a good job off and on during the course of the year, but it was good to get both sides on the same page today and do it consistently.”
