The Raiders own an 11-10 advantage in the season series. The Browns have won the last two meetings, including a 23-13 victory at FirstEnergy Stadium last year on Oct. 26. Cleveland picked up its first win of the year after topping Ten- nessee, 28-14, at FirstEnergy Stadium on Sunday. All three phases of the game played a pivotal part in the victory. The offense com- pleted two passes of 50+ yards for touchdowns, the defense forced three turnovers and the special teams unit returned a punt for a touchdown. The Browns have won consecutive home openers for the first time since 1989-90. WR Travis Benjamin recorded touchdown receptions of 50 and 60 yards and added a 78-yard punt return touchdown against Tennessee (9/20). He is the first player in Browns history to re- cord two receiving scores and a punt return touchdown in the same game and the first NFL player to do so since St. Louis’ Tavon Aus- tin on Nov. 10, 2013. Benjamin finished with a career-high 115 receiving yards, surpassing his previous mark of 89, set last week at the New York Jets (9/13). With a 54-yard touchdown catch last week, Benjamin is the first NFL player with four 50+ yard touch- downs in the first two games of a season since Hall of Famer Jim Brown in 1963. Benjamin added 154 punt return yards, the third- most in a single-game in Browns history. Benjamin is tied for the NFL lead with four touchdowns this season. He is also tied for second in receiving touchdowns (three) and fourth in receiving yards (204). He has the longest punt return in the NFL this year (78 yards vs. Tennessee on Sept. 20) and is first in the league with an average of 23.4 yards per punt return. The Browns, who finished 27th in sacks last season with 31, are currently tied for fourth in the NFL this year. The team recorded seven sacks against Tennessee (9/20), the team’s highest sack total since registering seven at Dallas on Nov. 18, 2012. The seven sacks are the second-most by any team in a game this season. LB Ar- monty Bryant led the Browns with a career-high 2.5 sacks, tied for sixth in the NFL. The Browns defense recorded three takeaways against the Ti- tans (9/20) to increase their season total to four, tied for the fifth- most in the league. The Browns registered 116 rushing yards against the Titans (9/20). The team has rushed for more than 100 yards in consecu- tive games for the first time since Weeks 4-5 in 2014.

A LOOK AT THIS WEEK’S GAMELAST TIME IN THE REGULAR SEASON

The Browns have never recorded back-to-back games with at least seven sacks on defense. The last time the team registered back-to-back games with six or more sacks came in 1988, when they notched nine against Philadelphia on October 16 and six atPhoenix against the Cardinals on October 23.

The Browns have not rushed for more than 100 yards in three consecutive games since doing it in six straight games in 2012.

WR Travis BenjaminCould join Leroy Kelly (Weeks 10-11 in 1965) as the only play-ers in Browns history to return a punt for a touchdown in con-secutive games.

Needs one punt-return touchdown to tie Dennis Northcutt (2002), Eric Metcalf (1993 and 1994) and Leroy Kelly (1965) for the most by a Browns player in a season with two.

Needs two punt-return TDs to tie Eric Metcalf (1989-94) for fi rst place on the Browns career punt-return touchdown list with fi ve. Benjamin is tied for second in team history with three.

Could be the fi rst Brown to record a touchdown reception in three consecutive games since Josh Gordon did it in fi ve straight games in 2013.

Could be the fi rst Brown to record 100 receiving yards in back-to-back games since Josh Gordon did it in four straight games in 2013.

Could become the fi rst Browns player to record back-to-back games with two-or-more receiving touchdowns since Braylon Edwards in 2007.

OL Joe ThomasHas started all 130 career games and has not missed an offensive snap since joining the Browns as the third overall selection of the 2007 draft. His consecutive snaps streak of 8,027 is the lon-gest active stretch in the league.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR THIS WEEK

BROWNS 23RAIDERS 13

Oct. 26, 2014FirstEnergy Stadium, Cleveland, Ohio

A strong defensive effort propelled the Browns to a 23-13 victory over the visiting Oakland Raiders that featured three takeaways for the Cleveland defense. The Browns jumped out to an early 3-0 lead after a 52-yard fi eld goal from K Billy Cundiff, capping Cleveland’s fi rst drive of the day. The score was set up by a DB Tashaun Gipson interception that was returned 35 yards. Cundiff followed with 33-yarder with 2:32 left to play in the fi rst quarter after a 48-yard connection from QB Brian Hoyer to rookie WR Taylor Gabriel set up the score. Cundiff added his third fi eld goal of the day from 26 yards at the 5:51 mark in the second quarter, capping an 11-play 78-yard drive. The Raiders responded after K Sebastian Janikowski converted on fi eld goal attempts from 46 and 38 yards, respectively, to narrow the defi cit to 9-6 heading into halftime. With 35 seconds to play in the third quarter, a Raiders’ drive that started at their own 9-yard line came to a halt in Cleveland territory after DB Donte Whitner forced RB Darren McFadden to fumble on the Browns’ 20-yard line. DB Joe Haden recovered the fumble and re-turned it 34 yards. Following the sudden change, Hoyer found WR Andrew Hawkins for a 32-yard gain that set up a 4-yard touchdown after the two connected again for a score at the 14:21 mark in the fourth quarter. The Browns added to their lead with 3:13 to play when RB Ben Tate found the end zone on a 5-yard touchdown run. A LB Barkevious Mingo fumble recovery off of a botched Oakland snap deep in Raiders territory set up Cleveland’s fi nal touchdown of the day. In the closing minutes of regulation, the Raiders drove 80 yards in 17 plays, scoring on a 10-yard touchdown pass from rookie QB Derek Carr to WR Andre Holmes.

Mike Pettine, pronounced PETT-in, enters his 14th sea-son in the NFL and his 28th in the coaching profession. He was named the 15th full-time head coach in Cleve-land Browns history by Owner Jimmy Haslam on Jan. 23, 2014.

In his fi rst season as head coach, Pettine led the Browns to the team’s most victories since 2007 and tied for the third-most wins since the club returned in 1999. The Browns engineered four fourth quarter game-winning drives, including the largest road comeback in NFL his-

tory after the team rallied from a 25-point defi cit, scoring 26 unanswered points, to defeat the Titans in Tennessee, 29-28, on Oct. 5. Cleveland also registered its larg-est divisional wins since the formation of the AFC North in 2002, following 21-point victories over Pittsburgh (31-10 on Oct. 12) and at Cincinnati (24-3 on Nov. 6).

The Browns defense made signifi cant increases in nearly every major defensive sta-tistic, including red zone defense (29th in 2013 to fi fth in 2014), third down defense (31st to 11th), points per game (23rd to ninth) and quarterback rating (16th to fi rst). The team led the NFL in opponent completion percentage (57.1), opponent passer rating (74.1) and passes defensed (99). The Browns fi nished second in the league with 21 interceptions, the team’s highest total since 2008, while also fi nishing tied for fourth in takeaways (29). After fi nishing 2013 with a -8 turnover margin, the Browns fi nished +6 in 2014, marking the club’s biggest increase in 23 years.

After scoring four rushing touchdowns in 2013, the Browns fi nished fourth in the NFL with 17 last year. The 17 rushing scores marked the most by the Browns since 1986. The Browns and Eagles were the only teams last year to have three running backs record at least four rushing touchdowns (Isaiah Crowell eight, Terrance West four, Ben Tate four). The last time Cleveland had three players record at least four rushing scores in the same season was 1954 (Otto Graham eight, Maurice Bassett six, Chet Hanulak four).

The team had four players (S Tashaun Gipson, CB Joe Haden, LT Joe Thomas and S Donte Whitner) selected to the Pro Bowl. It marked the fi rst time in team history that three defensive backs were selected to the Pro Bowl and the fi rst time the Browns had at least three defensive players selected to the annual all-star game since 1995. In addition, Thomas was named fi rst team All-Pro by the Associated Press.

Prior to joining the Browns, Pettine spent fi ve seasons as a defensive coordinator and helped his units to a top-10 fi nish in fewest yards allowed in all fi ve seasons. Pettine spent 2013 as the defensive coordinator for the Buffalo Bills and the 2009-12 seasons as the defensive coordinator for the New York Jets.

During his season in Buffalo, Pettine implemented an aggressive defense that set a franchise record with 57 sacks, second-most in the NFL, after fi nishing tied for 18th in the league with 36 in 2012. Buffalo was the only team to have three players record double-digit sacks, with DE Mario Williams leading the team and fi nishing fourth in the NFL with 13.

Under Pettine, the Bills defense fi nished 10th (333.4) in the NFL in total defense, after fi nishing 22nd (362.9) in 2012. Buffalo also led the NFL in opponent completion percentage (55.3), fi nished second in interceptions (23), third in opponent quarter-back rating (74.9), fourth in passing defense (204.4), sixth in yards per play (4.90) and tied for sixth in takeaways (30).

Pettine helped mentor FS Jairus Byrd, DT Marcell Dareus, DT Kyle Williams and DE Mario Williams, all 2014 Pro Bowl selections. Byrd and Mario Williams were also both named Associated Press All-Pro.

Pettine also oversaw the development of second-round pick Kiko Alonso, a line-backer who was named the Professional Football Writers of America (PFWA) 2013 Defensive Rookie of the Year and was the only defensive fi nalist for the 2013 Pepsi Next NFL Rookie of the Year award.

During his four years with New York, the Jets defense over those combined seasons ranked fi rst in the NFL in opposing quarterback rating (71.0), completion percentage (52.6) and passing yards per game (186.3). The Jets defense yielded the second-fewest yards per game (294.8) and allowed just nine 100-yard receiving games from 2009-12, fewest in the league.

Pettine helped CB Darrelle Revis to multiple Pro Bowl and All-Pro selections. DE Shaun Ellis and DT Kris Jenkins also made the Pro Bowl under Pettine’s guidance.

During his fi rst season as defensive coordinator in 2009, Pettine helped the Jets lead the NFL in points per game (14.8), total yards per game (252.3) and passing yards per game (153.7).

Prior to joining the Jets, Pettine spent seven years (2002-08) with the Baltimore Ravens. In his last four seasons with the Ravens, he coached the outside lineback-ers as part of a defensive unit that ranked fi fth (2005), fi rst (2006), sixth (2007) and second (2008) in the NFL. He helped Terrell Suggs and Adalius Thomas to Pro Bowl selections.

Before being promoted to position coach, Pettine worked with the line as a defensive assistant in 2004 after serving two years (2002-03) as a coaching assistant/quality-control coach. In those roles, he helped develop playbooks, scouting reports and video analysis for the defensive staff.

Prior to joining the NFL ranks, Pettine was the head coach at North Penn High School in Towamencin, Pa., from 1997-2001. He led the school to 45 wins in fi ve seasons, including an 11-2 record in 1999. He also served as the head coach for two years at William Tennent High School in Warminster, Pa., where he led the team to a school-record nine wins in 1996.

Pettine also spent two seasons (1993-94) at the college level, serving as a defensive graduate assistant at the University of Pittsburgh.

Football is in Pettine’s DNA as his father, Mike Sr., was the head coach for 33 years at Central Bucks West High School in Doylestown, Pa. Pettine played under his father and earned all-state honors as a quarterback and defensive back.

He later served as an assistant coach on his father’s staff for fi ve seasons (1988-92). Mike Sr., retired as a head coach after the 1999 campaign as the winningest coach in the history of Pennsylvania high school football with a career record of 326-42-4.

Pettine was a two-year letterman as a free safety at Virginia under head coach George Welsh. He led the team in interceptions in 1986, including tying a school record with three in one game against North Carolina State. He graduated with a degree in economics.

Born Sept. 25, 1966, Pettine has two daughters, Megan and Katie, and one son, Ryan.

FIRSTENERGY STADIUM RENOVATION

The 2015 season marks the Browns’ fi rst year playing in FirstEnergy Stadium following the completion of the two-year, $125 million mod-ernization project that was launched by the team and Owner Jimmy Haslam in 2013. The Browns, with the City of Cleveland and Mayor Frank Jackson’s support, now provide the team and its fans a top-tier NFL facility, one with a signifi cant home-fi eld advantage charged by the Dawg Pound.

“This renovation is a result of wanting to create the best fan experi-ence in the NFL, and also to create a venue to attract other world-class events at FirstEnergy Stadium,” said Browns Owner Jimmy Haslam. “We realize the transformative opportunity of this investment for the City of Cleveland. We’re excited to reward our fans and the commu-nity with the experience they deserve.”

All facets of the renovation were incorporated with the mission to provide Browns fans an enhanced in-game experience, while also im-proving the team’s home-fi eld advantage, bolstered by the NFL’s most loyal and passionate fan base.

In 2015, the modernization revitalized the look and feel of the sta-dium’s external and internal features, creating a vibrant environment that highlights Cleveland and the Browns’ illustrious history. In ad-dition to upgrading lighting, signage and way-fi nding throughout the concourses, high-defi nition graphics inside and outside the stadium now depict current players, Browns legends and the Dawg Pound, the best fans in the league.

During Phase II, the Browns also increased the availability of Cleve-land chef partner options and general concessions, focusing on Cleve-land tastes, for all fans. Renovated dining locations and upgraded food and beverage amenities were added, including new concepts and of-ferings, in addition to modernized facades, signage, menu boards and way-fi nding throughout the stadium. All 35 permanent concession stands were remodeled.

In an effort to further highlight the team’s connection to Cleveland and its thriving food scene, Michael Symon’s B Spot, Rocco Whalen’s Great Lakes Cheesesteaks, Jonathon Sawyer’s Sausage and Peppers and Chris Hodgson’s Downtown Dogs are now featured in the 100 and 500 levels in 2015.

The Browns began their food and beverage transformation through an expanded partnership with Aramark, which in 2014 became FirstEn-ergy Stadium’s general concessionaire after serving as the facility’s premium dining and catering company since 2012. During Phase I, the team incorporated menu items from many of Cleveland’s award-winning chefs that previously were only available in premium areas. The fi rst stage of the renovation created new stands in general conces-sion locations, highlighted by Symon’s B Spot in the west end zone and a new concept from Whalen, Great Lakes Cheesesteaks, in the east end zone.

In the second phase, the team also modernized premium areas, includ-ing upgrading all club seats and suites, while adding more top-level entertainment areas. A fi eld-level hospitality location has been con-structed opposite of the Browns’ locker room, while the Grille Club, north and south clubs and upper- and lower-level suites were restruc-tured and refurbished, with every facet of each area receiving fresh upgrades.

During Phase I, the Browns installed two new angled video boards that measure approximately 6,900 square feet, nearly triple the size of the old units. The boards, which are equivalent in size to 645 60-inch HD televisions and will be among the NFL’s largest video displays in 2014, are 32 feet lower and 56 feet closer to the fi eld, further en-hancing their impact on all fans’ viewing experience. New LED video boards, which feature stats, scores and information, as well as new and upgraded LED ribbon boards, were also installed throughout the stadium.

The new video elements are complemented by an entirely new au-dio system, delivering crisper, clearer audio in the facility. The main bowl’s sound system was entirely replaced with best-in-class modern audio equipment, and is supported by additional speaker locations throughout the complex that improved clarity to previously shadowed areas. With the new video and audio systems, the Browns have incor-porated state-of-the-art technologies that impress fans with high-level scoreboard programming and concert-quality sound.

In 2014, the project also increased the lower bowl’s seating capacity while improving sightlines. Many Browns fans are now seated closer to the fi eld and observe dramatically better views of the game, foster-ing a more intimate environment while enhancing the team’s home-fi eld advantage. In addition to creating more prime locations for fans, the Browns expanded ADA seating in the project’s fi rst phase.

Easing in-stadium access for fans was another priority in the renova-tion’s initial stage. Two new escalators were installed in both the east and west end zones to ensure the most fl uid, convenient movement in and between stadium levels. There are now 12 escalators that provide access to stadium concourses, including direct access to the 300 and 500 levels.

For the fi rst time in 2014, FirstEnergy Stadium featured fan decks that host unique engagement areas in both end zones. Each deck offers a special in-stadium viewing experience, with fans gaining access to new locations and activations while still being able to watch the game live.

Adaptive Football LeagueThe Adapted Football League is in partnership with the Achieve-ment Centers for Children and proudly supported by the Cleve-land Browns Foundation. Established in 2011, the league provides children and young adults with disabilities the opportunity to par-ticipate in an organized, competitive and developmental sport.

FIRST AND TEN CLEVELAND BROWNS FOUNDATIONThe Cleveland Browns on Tuesday will host a NFL Flag Football Clinic with students from Charles Dickens Elementary School, where Browns players, including LB Craig Robertson and DB K’Waun Williams will help coach students as physical education teachers during the event. The visit is also part of the team’s sup-port of the Browns PLAY 60 movement.

In February, the Browns welcomed elementary and middle school educators to the team’s facility in Berea for a free NFL Flag Foot-ball Clinic, which included representatives from Charles Dickens Elementary School. The free instructional session provided edu-cational resources so that participants could best implement fl ag football into their school’s physical education curriculum.

The Cleveland Browns are committed to assisting the develop-ment, safety and growth of youth football throughout Northeast Ohio with year-round programming for players, coaches, offi -cials and parents. Through camps, clinics and other initiatives, the Browns’ goal is to promote healthy, social, emotional, intellectual and physical development of youth by enhancing opportunities for youth football participation and education.

In 2015, the Browns are continuing their commitment to #give10through the team’s First and Ten initiative. Launched in June 2014, the Cleveland Browns First and Ten campaign is the team’s com-munity program, established to inspire fans to volunteer in and help their communities throughout the world by volunteering for 10 hours each year. Through First and Ten, the Browns are the only NFL club to promote a long-term volunteering program that unifi es the team and its entire fan base, with the goal of impacting every individual’s city across the globe, as well as the franchise’s local community. All Browns fans are encouraged to join the vol-unteering effort by signing the First and Ten pledge on the team’s website and by sharing their stories with #give10.

JETS 31BROWNS 10

Sept. 13, 2015MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, N.J.

The Browns fell to the Jets in the 2015 season opener, 31-10, at MetLife Stadium. The Browns opened the game by forcing a Jets’ punt on their fi rst offensive drive. After New York’s punt unit downed the ball at the Cleveland 9-yard line, QB Josh McCown led the Browns 90 yards down the fi eld in 17 plays. On the fi nal play of the drive, McCown rushed for a 13-yard gain before being tackled at the Jets’ 1-yard line. S Calvin Pryor stopped McCown from reaching the end zone, forcing a fumble and the Browns’ fi rst turnover of the day. McCown sustained a concussion on the play and did not return. On the ensusing drive, the Browns defense stopped the Jets from converting on a fourth-and-1 at the Cleveland 45-yard line. Replacing McCown, QB Johnny Manziel threw a 54-yard TD pass to WR Travis Benjamin on the next posses-sion to give the Browns the lead, 7-0, with 14:15 to play in the second quarter. Jets QB Ryan Fitzpatrick responded with a 43-yard completion to WR Chris Owusu to move New York into Cleveland territory. On the next play, Fitzpatrick threw a pass that was intended for WR Brandon Marshall, but was picked off by DB Tashaun Gipson at the Cleveland 17-yard line. However, Marshall stripped Gipson of the ball, recovering the fumble and advancing it to the Cleveland 9-yard line. Jets RB Chris Ivory fi nished off the drive with a 10-yard TD run to tie the game, 7-7, with 9:41 to play in the half. Cleveland took back the lead, 10-7, at the 2:46 mark in the second quarter when K Travis Coons split the uprights from 26 yards away. The Jets responded with a 9-play, 72-yard drive capped with a 15-yard TD pass from Fitzpatrick to WR Eric Decker with 49 seconds to play in the half, taking the lead, 14-10, for the fi rst time of the day. New York picked up where it left off in the second half when it scored on its fi rst drive as Fitzpatrick found Marshall for a 1-yard score. The Jets extended their lead again on their next possession to 24-10 after K Nick Folk converted on a 34-yard fi eld goal attempt. On the ensuing possession, DL Muhammad Wilkerson halted the Cleveland drive with a strip-sack of Manziel on the Cleveland 24-yard line. Ivory added the game’s last score after he rushed for a 3-yard TD at the 10:38 mark in the fourth quarter.

Sept. 20, 2015FirstEnergy Stadium, Cleveland, Ohio

The Browns defeated the Titans, 28-14, at FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland’s 2015 home opener after jumping out to 14-0 fi rst quarter lead. WR Travis Benjamin led the Browns in receiving for the second consecutive week, hauling in three catches for 115 yards and two TDs. Benjamin added a 78-yard punt return for a TD, making him the fi rst NFL player since Jim Brown in 1963 to score four TDs of 50 yards or more in the fi rst two games of a season. Benjamin’s fi rst score came on Cleveland’s second offensive play of the game after QB Johnny Manziel found Benjamin for a 60-yard TD. The Browns defense stopped the Titans on their second drive after LB Karlos Dansby forced a RB Terrance West fumble on Tennessee’s 45-yard line. DB Joe Haden recovered the football on the play. The Browns drove 50 yards in seven plays fi nishing, with an 11-yard TD run by RB Isaiah Crowell to extend their lead to 14-0 with 6:26 to play in the fi rst quarter. Cleveland ended the fi rst quarter with a strip-sack by DL John Hughes and a fumble recovery by LB Christian Kirksey. The second quarter was scoreless for both teams until Benjamin returned a punt 78 yards for a TD to send the Browns into halftime up 21-0. Tennessee got onto the scoreboard for the fi rst time at the 1:36 mark in the third quarter after rookie QB Marcus Mariota connected with TE Anthony Fasano for a 19-yard TD pass to make the score 21-7. The Titans diminished the Cleveland lead to seven after they capped a 15-play, 77-yard drive with a 13-yard TD pass from Mariota to WR Do-rial Green-Beckham with 6:42 to play in regulation. The Browns posted the fi nal score of the game after Manziel rolled to his left on a third-and-6 and threw a 50-yard TD pass to Benjamin with 2:52 to play. LB Armonty Bryant ended the Titans’ fi nal drive within the last minute of the game after he sacked Mariota at the Cleveland 26-yard line, forcing a fumble that was recovered by DL Randy Starks. The Browns’ defense totaled seven sacks for a loss of 38 yards on the day, led by Bryant with 2.5 for 12.5 yards lost.
