It seems to me that the Browns could have found a way to get fans into the second set of bleachers regardless of the amount of rain that had fallen in previous days. Fans blocked the sidewalks, stood in front of those who found off-road parking spots, and frankly made the day more fun. Watson improved from his first start to the second, but things were still bumpy. In two games he led one touchdown drive and the offense scored 16 points, he threw a bad interception in each game and couldn’t capitalize on fourth-quarter opportunities in the loss to the Bengals.
It will mark just the third time the Browns and Steelers have met on Monday Night Football and the first since 1995. Cleveland and Baltimore have squared off on Sunday Night Football two previous times, the most recent being in 2004. "This year, homefield advantage might be bigger than any year in recent memory with teams dealing with crowd noise week in and week out," Stefanski said.

Cleveland Browns All-Pro defensive end Myles Garrett talked about the defense's improvement following the 13-3 win over Baltimore. "The Ravens are a team we have a tremendous amount of respect for, so we know we have our work cut out for us," Stefanski said. "There are some really challenging matchups in our division, which is how we expect it."
Back in 2014, the Bills destroyed the Jets 38-3 in a game that got out of hand in the third quarter after the Bills blocked a punt and returned it for a touchdown. As if Cleveland’s season couldn’t get any worse — some rando allegedly broke into FirstEnergy Stadium and took a joyride on the field just days before the Browns’ next home game … resulting in a bunch of damage. Moving the game was not finalized until Thursday afternoon, with the Bills practicing outside Thursday in anticipation of the game. -- The Buffalo Bills' home game against the Cleveland Browns is being relocated to Detroit due to a winter storm with lake effect snow that is expected to hit western New York over the next couple of days.

“We are aware of the incident that occurred early Tuesday morning at FirstEnergy Stadium and have provided the Cleveland Division of Police with all relevant information,” the team said in a statement. Luckily, the team told the outlet the damage is superficial … which means there’s a good chance Sunday’s game will go down without any hiccups. Pictures captured by News Channel 5 show tire marks throughout the field … with a road roller working to improve the home turf. With the loss of this week's home game, the Bills will not play in Orchard Park again until Dec. 11 against the Jets. With the news that the Browns-Bills game has been moved from Buffalo to Detroit, all previous bets made on the game are voided, per Caesars Sportsbook's house rules. The team is planning to use the visitors side of everything in Ford Field so that it is the same when they return for the game four days later.
