The Cleveland Browns will go on the road to the New York Jets on Sunday for their new NFL 2015 season opener, and both teams will be hoping to start their season in the perfect fashion. Today's game takes place from the MetLife Stadium and has a scheduled start time of 1 p.m. ET. The game can be watched on TV on the CBS network, but can also be watched online through live stream via the link below.
The Browns have started somewhat of a tradition of losing their season opener - they have lost 10 straight Week 1 games coming into this year's match up against the New York Jets. Mike Pettine will be hoping that they can snap that unwanted record today. Petting himself has only overseen one of those losses in that losing streak, and he will be desperate not to add to it anymore today.
Last season Josh McCowen was the second most frequently sacked quarterback in the league, and if the Browns want to improve this season then they must do a better job at protecting their playmaker.
The Browns must get McCowen out of the pocket and as far away from the blitzes as possible. However, the Jets oppositely will have noted this flaring frailty in the Browns, and no doubt will be on alert to get in McCowen's face and upset his rhythm.
Earlier this week the New England Patriots and the Pittsburgh Steelers faced off in the NFL season opener, and Tom Brady and co. were too much for the Steelers, winning the game 28-21.
Brady, who was set to miss the first four games of the season until a late appeal saw his suspension for "Deflategate" overturned, threw for four touchdowns in the victory. All four touchdowns were thrown to Brady's tight ends, and three went to Rob Gronkowski.
Overall Brady went 25 of 32 for 288 yards in a magnificent performance that ultimately proved the difference between the teams. The quarterback even set a franchise record for an amazing 19 consecutive pass completions.
Brady said after the game: "It was a pretty special night. I was excited, our whole team was excited. We haven't had one of these nights in a long time."
Towards the end of the game, the Patriots' fans mocked NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell over the "Deflategate" scandal. The fans chanted, "Where is Roger?" after Goodell did not attend the season opener against tradition.
However, controversy continues to follow the New England Patriots around, and after the game it emerged that a new scandal was being reported; that the Steelers' coaches couldn't communicate as they kept getting interference with their headsets, hearing Patriots' radio broadcasts. Steelers' coach Mike Tomlin was angry about the issue after the game, however, the headsets are controlled by the league and not the Patriots. The league has has said that the headset issue was simply a temporary problem and the weather had played a major part in the problems.
