Browns Start Game By Screwing Up Punt Return, Fumbling, & Calling A Timeout Before First Play

What a first impression to make on their first prime-time appearance of the year for the Cleveland Browns.

Upon receiving a punt to kickoff their first possession, two Browns returners collided while trying to make the catch. After being driven back 14 yards, the ball was fumbled and luckily quickly recovered by Cleveland.

Before the Browns first offensive play, the team had to burn a timeout, only to use another one in the same first possession.

They are the first NFL team to use two timeouts in the first five minutes of play since 2013.

Leave it to the Browns.
