Looking back at the #Browns 27-24 win over the #Titans with @LanceReisland. What's with the slow starts? How good was De Via @RuiterWrongFAN on X

What happened: Deshaun Watson and the rushing attack carried the Cleveland Browns past a sluggish opening stretch in Sunday's road victory over the Tennessee Titans. Rookie Denzel Boston experienced a challenging afternoon despite the three-point win.

Why it matters: A second straight win keeps the Browns near the top of the 2026 regular-season standings while sending the Titans to 1-6 and the No. 15 seed. Sharpening early-game execution and developing Boston will be key to sustaining Cleveland's offensive momentum.

By the numbers: Cleveland holds a 5-2 record and a two-game winning streak after the 27-24 result on Oct. 25, 2026, while Tennessee sits at 1-6. The Browns selected Denzel Boston in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 39th overall (as of Sept. 29, 2026).

What to watch: The Browns look to eliminate their slow starts and extend their winning streak in their next 2026 regular-season outing, while the Titans aim to halt their slide.
