Genard Avery Color Rush Jersey , barking Browns fans have suffered in sadness longer than any group in the NFL, bar none.They’ve never watched their team play in the Super Bowl, haven’t experienced the playoffs since 2002 or bundled up and attended a postseason home game in 25 winters. There’s a faction of the orange-and-brown backers who remain bitter about late owner Art Modell moving the franchise to Baltimore. The expansion era has been beyond torturous: two decades of disgrace, despair and dysfunction.Like this proud city, which has taken its share of lumps over the years, Cleveland’s beloved team has been a national punchline.Well, the joke might be on someone else this time.An array of potent offensive weapons surrounding fiery second-year quarterback Baker Mayfield is joined by an imposing defensive front four led by super freak end Myles Garrett. The Browns, who went 0-16 just two years ago and have symbolized professional incompetence — 29 starting QBs, 11 coaches in 20 years — are expected by many not only to contend this season but perhaps compete for their first league title in 55 years.It’s about time.“I’m excited for the direction we’re moving in,” said star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., whose arrival in March via a stunning trade with New York Giants has lifted the collective psyche of this football-frenzied region. “I can see it. I can feel it from the fans. I can feel it from this team.”Once ignored, the Browns have become the league’s trendiest team, this season’s favorite flavor.And it all starts with Mayfield, the 2018 No. 1 overall pick who began last season as Tyrod Taylor’s backup and finished it breaking Peyton Manning’s league rookie record for touchdown passes.Equal parts brash and boyish, Mayfield officially took over in Week 4 and went 6-7 as a starter while completing 64 percent of his passes, exuding the swagger that has driven him since his youth.The 24-year-old has restored hope into the most cynical of Browns fans, who waited patiently for the team to find its long-term answer at the game’s most critical position.“I think that I was born to play here,” he said.Beckham feels reborn with the Browns https://www.brownsfanshop.com/Austin-Corbett-Jersey , who landed the three-time Pro Bowler famous for spectacular one-handed catches and silly off-field drama. Reunited with his close friend and former LSU teammate Jarvis Landry, Beckham, who has been slowed by injuries the past two seasons, claims he has put New York’s skyline in his rearview mirror.“I’m just happy to be here,” he said.In Cleveland. Where football is finally back.ROOKIE COACHA year ago, Freddie Kitchens was in the background, teaching Browns running backs before an eight-game stint as offensive coordinator changed his life.He was hired in January as Cleveland’s new coach, the club’s sixth in 10 years. Kitchens had a significant role in Mayfield’s first-year success, and he’s already under pressure to win. But the affable 44-year-old, barrel-chested Alabamian, who has bounced around the coaching circle, isn’t concerned about the huge expectations heaped on his team.“I am going to coach them like I coached them at Glenville State College,” he said. “I truly believe it is just hype. That is all it is.”Kitchens must hope owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam remain patient, and his team stays healthy.BROWNS BROMANCEBeckham and Landry often talked in college about playing together in the pros. Well, the dream became reality and the duo gives the Browns maybe the most lethal 1-2 receiving punch in the league.“Scary,” Landry said.Beckham has been slowed during the exhibition season by an unspecified hip injury, but the Browns are confident he’ll be ready for the opener against Tennessee.“Odell is Odell,” said safety Damarious Randall. “He’s a once-in-a-generation type of talent. He will be ready to go Sept. 8.”GARRETT’S STEADY RISEWarning to quarterbacks and offensive linemen: Myles Garrett may be hazardous to your health. The 6-foot-5 Nick Chubb Jersey , 280-pounder is leaner — and maybe a little meaner — entering his third season.He had 13 ½ sacks in 2018, but that was before general manager John Dorsey added former Pro Bowlers Olivier Vernon and Sheldon Richardson up front.“He’s a beast,” cornerback Denzel Ward said of the No. 1 overall draft pick of 2017. “I saw him like that last year. I thought he was the biggest and fastest guy, and for him to say he’s the biggest and fastest this year is even crazier.”HUNT ON DECKKareem Hunt will spend two months watching, and then watch out. The 2017 league rushing leader is getting a new start with the Browns, who signed him as a free agent after he was released by Kansas City following an ugly incident in which he shoved and kicked a woman.The league suspended him eight games, and as long as he stays out of trouble, he’ll be available in November and, if not rusty, can provide a fresh option to Nick Chubb, who gained 996 yards as a rookie.FALSE STARTThe Browns are 1-17-1 in openers since ’99, with the lone win coming in 2004. The first few games take on extra importance for Kitchens, whose every in-game decision will be highly scrutinized. Undisciplined. Mistake-prone. Just downright awful.These Cleveland Browns looked a lot like THOSE Cleveland Browns — the ones the fast-growing bandwagon of Browns fans thought, or at least hoped, had been left far back in the rearview mirror.The most hyped team over the NFL offseason racked up 18 penalties for 182 yards in Sunday's season opener, while star-in-the-making quarterback Baker Mayfield threw three interceptions in the fourth quarter.The Browns lost 43-13 to Tennessee to drop to 1-19-1 in openers since 1999."You all can crown them if you want to crown them," Titans tight end Delanie Walker said. "We still have to play football."With Mayfield entering his second season, and with newly acquired receiver Odell Beckham Jr. Chad Thomas Color Rush Jersey , and with a new coach (Freddie Kitchens) and the momentum from a strong finish to 2018, Cleveland became the trendy pick to buck decades of awfulness and win its division, and maybe even more.Instead, the first game ended in front of a mostly empty home stadium, with the deficit swelling to more than four touchdowns; it was the first Cleveland loss of 30-plus points since 2015.Nothing went right."We lost our discipline and we lost our composure, but it is one game ... ." Kitchens said.And that is about all Browns fans had to be thankful for after Week 1.In case you missed it, here are some other topics people were talking about on the opening Sunday of the 2019 season:COMEBACK KYLER: One game into his NFL career, and quarterback Kyler Murray is still undefeated.Still looking for his first win, too — though that's missing the point.The top pick in this year's draft led the Cardinals on an 18-point fourth-quarter comeback to close out his debut with a 27-all tie against Lions that felt a lot better than that.Murray looked every bit a rookie over three-plus quarters, completing only nine of 25 passes for 95 yards and failing to get Arizona in the end zone.Suddenly, something clicked.Murray threw for 238 yards and two scores in the fourth quarter and overtime. The teams traded field goals in the 10-minute extra session, but finished in a tie.Murray's explanation for the quick turnaround was simple: "We just started doing what we were good at," he said.CONTRACT TALKS: Cowboys owner Jerry Jones might want to hurry and get Dak Prescott's name on that dotted line.Meanwhile, Chargers running back Melvin Gordon might want to hurry back to the bargaining table.Two contract disputes took different turns Sunday.Not long after Prescott threw for 405 yards and four touchdowns in a 35-17 win over the Giants, Jones said a much-awaited deal with his quarterback was imminent. Good idea. Under terms of his current rookie contract, Prescott is only making $2.1 million this year. That will increase dramatically when (if?) Jones and his quarterback come to terms.Meanwhile, Gordon, who can run https://www.brownsfanshop.com/Antonio-Callaway-Jersey , catch and find the end zone — he scored 38 touchdowns over the last three seasons — is holding out, but the Chargers didn't really miss him in their 30-24 overtime win over Indy. Running back Austin Ekeler had 154 total yards and three touchdowns, including the game-winner.PLAN B: The Jaguars thought Nick Foles might solve their quarterback problems and make them a contender again.OK, well, how about Gardner Minshew?Foles, who signed an $88 million contract with Jacksonville in the offseason, left the game in the first quarter with a broken collarbone that will keep him out for the foreseeable future.Enter Minshew, the sixth-round draft pick out of Washington State, who completed his first 13 passes — the longest such streak for a player making his debut in the past 40 years. He finished 22 for 25 to record the highest completion percentage (88) by a quarterback in his NFL debut.But Jacksonville lost 40-26 to Kansas City.FAKE OUT: The Ravens were already leading 35-3 and their opponent, the Dolphins, were showing no signs of life.Sounds like the perfect time for a fake punt.Punt protector Anthony Levine took the direct snap and ran for 60 yards to set up Baltimore's sixth touchdown of the first half. The Ravens squeaked by, 59-10.Afterward, it had to be asked: What was coach John Harbaugh thinking?"It's there. That's what we do. You play football," Harbaugh explained.
