ironic that the first home game for the Browns after the announcement would be against another team relocating although at least Cleveland got their name back
The Browns first game since the announcement that they were moving to Baltimore following the 1995 season. You can see in this game that the Browns minds were clearly mentally not in the game. It was a major distraction all week leading into this game. And as legendary Browns TE Ozzie Newesome said “It’s one thing to have a distraction. But when you have a distraction a week before a game, you have absolutely no chance to win” And that’s exactly what happened in this game. And ironically enough the Oilers themselves also were in a crisis about their relocation as well. But to their credit they were focused and prepared to play. The Oilers moved to Tennessee following the 1996 season.
Ironically, the 1995 season started out with a lot of positivity for the Browns and the City of Cleveland. The Indians were in the WS, the Rock and Roll HOF just opened, and the Browns were coming off of a great season. And in an instant, it turned 180.
Jim Donovan just drove in to the stadium for this one. He's been based in Cleveland for decades.
Jim Donovan is a national treasure. And a legendary icon in the city of Cleveland.
