Browns open second-quarter push with three straight road games

Trade deadline lands Nov. 10 ahead of Houston visit

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated 1h1 min read

What happened: Cleveland visits Tennessee on Oct. 25, Pittsburgh on Nov. 1 and New Orleans on Nov. 8 before hosting Houston on Nov. 15. The stretch is followed by a Nov. 22 bye and Thanksgiving on Nov. 26, with the trade deadline set for Nov. 10 at 4 p.m. Eastern.

Why it matters: Cleveland Browns enter the stretch in first place at 4-2, so results on the trip shape deadline posture and late-season positioning. A late bye gives a young roster recovery time and extra days for any new additions to adjust before the holiday slate.

By the numbers: Tennessee is 1-5, Pittsburgh is 4-2, New Orleans is 2-4 and Houston is 2-4 entering the stretch. Tyler Shough completed 221 of 327 passes for 2,384 yards with 10 touchdowns and 6 interceptions in 11 games in 2025.

What to watch: Cleveland opens the trip at Tennessee on Oct. 25 before back-to-back road games in Pittsburgh and New Orleans. The Nov. 10 deadline then sets the roster for the Houston game and the bye.
