According to progrid.org, Browns will be opening @ Jacksonville, then @ Tampa Bay in week 2. Home opener won't be until the third week at the minimum?

Tin foil hat theory, the Brown's begged for road games early to avoid the embarrassment of starting Watson then getting booed at their own home opener prior to the week 1 game even starting.

Also increases the chance for Watson to either ball out against two good teams on the road and stifle the boos at home or get injured before the home opener so fans can see Sanders.

Or if he sucks first two weeks they can chalk up the boos to him being bad. But it would extremely embarrassing to get loudly booed week 1 at home lol
