It has only been a month since the conclusion of the 2023 NFL season. Yet, Football fans are already eagerly anticipating the start of the 2024 season. The date for the season starter, the Brazil clash, has already been announced, and fans are curious to learn who will face the Philadelphia Eagles in this opener. The rivalry for this battle was not revealed until today when allegedly the Cleveland Browns defensive tackle Maurice Hurst II confirmed it. ARE THE BROWNS PLAYING AGAINST THE EAGLES? The 2024 offseason is underway. Once all the dust of trades and picks are settled, the 2024 NFL regular season will kick off on Thursday, September 5. The clash of this season is set to take place in Brazil, with the first game being headed to Sao Paulo. Earlier it was revealed that the Eagles would be playing in the 2024 opener, however, their rival team’s name wasn’t out yet. But now, considering the latest interview, it allegedly seems the Browns could be the one facing the 2023 Super Bowl defenders. In the latest episode of the Cleveland Browns radio network, the team’s defensive tackle Maurice Hurst II, popularly known as Mo Hurst, appeared in the show to talk about the offseason and their preparation for the next season. When asked, “If you are organizing the room vacation, where are you going?” Hurst replied, “I would play in Brazil this year, so I mean we could do a dual…just a little Rio trip out there.” So, does this mean the Browns are facing off against the Eagles this year in the opener? Well, the co-host of the Barking Browns Show, Nick Karns, dropped the information on his official X account, saying, “Away game for Cleveland! The Browns were scheduled to be @ Philly this year.” This means, there is an alleged possibility that the Browns are facing off against the Eagles in the 2024 season opener on September 5. 

NFL 2024 Opener rivals revealed? Eagles were set to begin the battle in Sep, but the opponent had not been revealed. Mo Hurst shares details.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Cleveland Browns 2022: News, Schedule, Roster, Score, Injury Report</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">The Cleveland Browns were founded by Paul Brown and businessman Arthur B. McBride as a charter member of the All-American Football Conference in 1945. The early days of the AAFC were dominated by the Browns as they racked up an impressive 47-4-3 record through the league’s four seasons.  The Browns continued their dominance through the dissolution of the AAFC and joined up the NFL alongside the San Francisco 49’ers and the Baltimore Colts.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-497445 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201230182931/take.jpg" alt="" width="747" height="560" />
<p style="text-align: center">The club won their inaugural NFL season as well as the 1954, 1955, 1964 seasons. What’s more, they managed to pull off an unmatched feat by playing in their league championship game in each of the Browns’ first ten years of existence. However, the Browns weren’t able to maintain their upward trajectory much longer as they didn’t win another championship from 1965 to 1995 despite making the NFL playoffs 14 times.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Since 1999, the Browns have continually struggled to find success. They have had only one playoff appearance in 2002 and only three winning seasons in 2002, 2007, and 2020. Additionally, there have been no playoff wins and winning less than one-third of their games in totality.  What’s more, the front office hasn’t seen much stability either with multiple Head Coaching changes since 1999 (10 full time and two interim).</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-497448 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201230183202/baker.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="600" />

The Cleveland Browns have improved on their 6-10 season from 2019 going 11-5 in 2020 and placed third in the AFC North. The franchise went on to win the Wild  Card round by upsetting the Pittsburgh Steelers winning out 48-37.

However, they went on to lose the divisional playoffs to the defending champions Kansas City Chiefs 17-22.

Mahomes would suffer an injury on the play. Mandatory Credit: Jay Biggerstaff-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]
<h2 style="text-align: center">Logo</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">The 1970s saw the Browns use their orange helmet as the logo with a facemask. In 1986, the franchise went for a dramatic overhaul that saw a more 3-D helmet model and an updated facemask. Some of the shadows were removed from the logo and the angle was altered in 1993.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-497446 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201230183007/sharp.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="1151" />
<p style="text-align: center">Since 1999, the Browns have made quite a few changes to their logos. After the 2005 season, the team made a slight adjustment to the orange color of the helmet and to the grey facemask. A more recent iteration of the Cleveland Browns identity came in the form of a ‘safety’ orange-colored helmet.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Cleveland Browns Owner Achievements</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">Jimmy Arthur Haslam III is a sports executive who is the co-owner of the Cleveland Browns alongside his wife Dee Haslam. Additionally, he’s the CEO of the Pilot Flying J truck stop chain. His father, Jim Haslam founded the Pilot Corporation in 1958 as the Pilot Oli Corporation.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-497450 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201230183320/haslam.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1238" />
<p style="text-align: center">Furthermore, Haslam bought a minority interest in the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2008, and in 2012 he went on to purchase the Cleveland Browns for $1 billion. Forbes magazine valued the Browns at $977 million in 2011. The NFL rules prohibit ownership of multiple teams so Haslam sold his interest in the Steelers.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Cleveland Browns 2022 Sponsors</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">FirstEnergy Corp comes out as the naming rights sponsor of the Cleveland Browns. Arby’s Foundation had a tie-up with the Browns foundation wherein 520 students in need received free WiFi for one year to help a student who is engaged in their education and remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">The Browns also have a deal with Splash Financial with a goal to help fans save money on their student loans. Moreover, Electronic Merchant Systems (EMS), a leading Cleveland based provider of merchant services and payment processing solutions. Through the partnership, EMS and the Browns have hosted the annual toy drive to benefit thousands of local kids during the holiday season.</p>
