The Browns’ 2017 schedule is bookended with games against the Steelers, marking the first time since 1963 and fourth time in franchise history the team will open and close the year against the same opponent. It will mark the seventh time Cleveland has opened a season against Pittsburgh and the first since 2014. The Browns have won two of their past three home openers and are 27-37 all-time in season open- ers. Cleveland has 24 new players on the active roster from a year ago as the Browns head into the 2017 season. This consists of nine 2017 draft picks, seven free-agent signees, seven players acquired via waivers and two players added via trade. The Browns active roster features 10 rookies, in- cluding eight picks by Cleveland and two players acquired via waivers. Cleveland finished the preseason with a 4-0 record. It marked the fifth time in club history that the team went un- defeated in the preseason. The team also went undefeated in 1950 (5-0), 1962 (5-0), 1982 (4-0) and 1986 (4-0). The Browns made a number of moves to bolster their roster for 2017. In addition to adding 10 draft picks, includ- ing three in the first round, the Browns signed contract ex- tensions with OL Joel Bitonio, LB Jamie Collins Sr. and LB Christian Kirksey. The team signed free agents WR Kenny Britt, DB Jason McCourty, OL JC Tretter and OL Kevin Zeitler. Cleveland also acquired WR Sammie Coates and DB Calvin Pryor III via trade. The Browns became just the fourth team since 2000 and the first team since Minnesota in 2013 to select three players in the first round of a draft. In total, the Browns add- ed 10 players during the 2017 NFL Draft, including DL Myles Garrett (1st overall), DB Jabrill Peppers (25th overall) and TE David Njoku (29th overall). The Browns finished second in the NFL with a 4.89 rushing average last season. The average was the seventh- best in team history and the team’s best mark since 1966. Cleveland rushed for more than 120 yards in eight games and eclipsed 160 yards in five games. The Browns rushed for a season-high 231 yards in the finale at Pittsburgh, their fourth-most in a game since 1999. LT Joe Thomas has been selected to the Pro Bowl in each of his 10 NFL seasons. Thomas joins Pro Football Hall of Famers Merlin Olsen (14), Mel Renfro (10), Barry Sanders (10) and Lawrence Taylor (10) as the only players in NFL history to make the Pro Bowl in each of their first 10 seasons. Thomas’ streak of 10 consecutive Pro Bowls is the longest active streak in the NFL. The 2007 first round pick has played in all 9,934 offensive snaps since joining the Browns as the third overall pick in 2007. It is the longest active stretch in the league and believed to be the longest in NFL history.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR THIS WEEK

STEELERS 27BROWNS 24 (OT)

Jan. 1, 2017Heinz Field, Pittsburgh, Pa.

The Steelers defeated the Browns in overtime, 27-24, in the 2016 regular season fi nale. The Browns opened the game’s scoring as QB Robert Griffi n III led the Browns on an eight-play, 55-yard drive, capped by a 12-yard TD catch by rookie TE Seth DeValve. On the fi rst posses-sion of the second quarter, Griffi n directed an 11-play, 67-yard drive that ended with a 4-yard TD pass to TE Gary Barnidge to extend Cleveland’s lead to 14-0. The Browns threatened again on their following possession, but Steelers LB Ryan Shazier intercepted a Griffi n pass on Pittsburgh’s 1-yard line. Later in the fi rst half, the Steelers recovered a fumble on their own 47-yard line and capitalized on the turnover as Steelers QB Landry Jones connected with RB DeAngelo Williams for an 11-yard TD to set the score a 14-7 at halftime. After being awarded a touchback following DB Briean Boddy-Calhoun’s interception return that was fumbled into the end zone, Pittsburgh produced another seven points off of turnovers following a 10-play, 80-yard drive that culminated in a 1-yard rushing TD by Williams with 13:21 left to play in regulation. The Steelers gained their fi rst lead of the game, 21-14, following an 11-yard TD pass from Jones to Steelers WR Demarcus Ayers. Cleveland responded as RB Isaiah Crowell burst free on a 67-yard rush up the middle and RB George Atkinson III punched in a 5-yard TD rush – the fi rst of his NFL career – on the next play to even the score at 21-21 with 3:23 left in the fourth quarter. On the fi rst possession in overtime, Griffi n led Cleveland on a 17-play, 63-yard drive that resulted in 34-yard fi eld goal by Parkey, putting the Browns ahead 24-21. Jones found Pittsburgh WR Cobi Hamilton on a 26-yard TD strike on the ensuing possession to claim the victory.

RB Isaiah Crowell finished last year with a career-high 952 rushing yards, the most by a Brown since Peyton Hillis rushed for 1,177 yards in 2010. Crowell had the longest run in the NFL last season, an 85-yard touchdown run against the Ravens on Sept. 18, the second-longest in Browns history. He finished with a team-leading seven rushing touchdowns and has 19 in his career. His 19 career rushing touchdowns are the third-most by a Browns player in his first three sea-sons trailing Jim Brown (40) and Kevin Mack (22). Crowell’s 2,265 rushing yards since joining the Browns as an undraft-ed free agent in 2014, ranks 11th in franchise history. He is also the first Browns player to rush for at least 600 yards in three consecutive seasons since Mack in 1985-87.

Cleveland Browns vs. Pittsburgh Steelers Regular Season Week 1, Game 1 -12-

Hue Jackson was named the 16th full-time head coach in Cleveland Browns history by Dee and Jimmy Haslam on January 13, 2016. He has 30 years of coaching experience, in-cluding the last 16 in the NFL. He has spent 10 seasons coaching in the AFC North, dur-ing which time he helped his team advance to the postseason seven times. Jackson was head coach of the Oakland Raiders in 2011 and guided the team to an 8-8 record. He has also served as offensive coordinator in Washington (2003), Atlanta (2007), Oakland (2010) and Cincinnati (2014-15).

In his first year with Cleveland, he helped the Browns finish second in the NFL with a 4.89 rushing average, the team’s best mark since 1966. Linebacker Christian Kirksey finished third in the NFL with 148 tackles, while left tackle Joe Thomas was selected to his 10th career Pro Bowl.

Jackson helped develop one of the youngest teams in NFL histo-ry. The Browns opened the 2016 season with 17 rookies on their 53-man roster, the most by an NFL team in a season opener since 2002. First-round pick wide receiver Corey Coleman was named NFL Rookie of the Week after a 104-yard, two touchdown perfor-mance in Week 2. Second-round pick defensive lineman Emmanuel Ogbah recorded a team-best 5.5 sacks, tied for the fourth-most by a Browns rookie. Third-round pick quarterback Cody Kessler regis-tered the second-highest single-game passing yardage total by a Browns rookie with 336 in Week 6.

Prior to joining the Browns, Jackson spent the previous four sea-sons (2012-15) with the Cincinnati Bengals. During that time, he helped the Bengals to two division titles and a trip to the post-season all four years. In 2012, he served as secondary/assistant special teams coach before coaching the running backs in 2013. Jackson spent 2014-15 as offensive coordinator.

With Jackson as coordinator in 2015, the Bengals offense finished third in the AFC in yards per play (5.7) and points per game (26.2). He was voted by the Professional Football Writers of America (PFWA) as the Co-Assistant Coach of the Year as quarterback Andy Dalton set a career high and franchise record with a 106.3 rating, which led the AFC and was second in the NFL. After losing Dalton to injury in Week 14, Jackson guided quarterback A.J. McCarron to a 2-1 record in the final three games of the season as the Bengals clinched the AFC North title. The Cincinnati running game produced two 700-yard rushers in Jeremy Hill (794) and Giovani Bernard (730) for the first time since 1988. Tight end Tyler Eifert experienced a breakout season after hauling in 13 touchdown receptions, the most by a Bengals tight end in franchise history and the most by a Cincinnati player since 2001. Wide receiver A.J. Green added 10 re-ceiving touchdowns on 86 receptions for 1,297 yards. Eifert, Green and left tackle Andrew Whitworth were selected to the Pro Bowl.

In Jackson’s first year as offensive coordinator for Cincinnati in 2014, the run game posted its highest yards per game average (134.1) since 2000. Dalton passed for 3,398 yards and Green to-taled 1,041 receiving yards. Hill led all NFL rookies with 1,124 rush-ing yards, the second-most by a Bengals rookie in team history.

After spending the 2010 season as the Raiders offensive coordi-nator, Jackson was promoted to head coach in 2011. Oakland fin-ished the year 8-8 and tied for first in the AFC West but missed the postseason via tiebreaker. The 8-8 mark was the best record by any Raiders team since 2002. The Raiders finished ninth in the NFL in total offense (379.5 yards per game) and seventh in rushing offense (131.9).

Before joining the Raiders, Jackson spent two seasons (2008-09) as quarterbacks coach for Baltimore, helping the Ravens advance to the playoffs both years. He was vital in the development of Joe Flacco, who was named NFL Rookie of the Year in 2008 and became the first rookie quarterback to win two playoff games as the Ra-vens advanced to the AFC Championship game.

From 2004-06, Jackson served as the Bengals wide receivers coach, helping develop one of the best wide receiver tandems in NFL history with Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh. During that span, the two combined to average 173.3 catches, 2,363.3 re-ceiving yards and 15 touchdowns per season. In 2005, Johnson led the AFC with 1,432 receiving yards. In 2006, Johnson and Housh-mandzadeh became the first Bengals duo to each top 1,000 receiv-ing yards in the same season.

Jackson gained his first fulltime NFL experience with Washington, where he served as the running backs coach from 2001-02, before being promoted to offensive coordinator in 2003. Under Jackson’s tutelage, running back Stephen Davis led the NFC with 1,432 rush-ing yards in 2001.

Jackson spent 14 years coaching on the college level, going from a graduate assistant at Pacific all the way to offensive coordinator at Southern California. He spent four seasons (1997-2000) as USC’s offensive coordinator, where he also helped to recruit and develop players, including quarterback Carson Palmer, who went on to win the Heisman Trophy and be selected No. 1 overall in the NFL draft.

He was a minority coaching fellowship intern with the Los Angeles Rams in 1990, Arizona Cardinals in 1992 and Washington Redskins in 1995. He also served as the running backs/wide receivers/special teams coach for the London Monarchs of the World League in 1991.

Born Oct. 22, 1965, Jackson was a quarterback at Pacific from 1985-86 and threw for 2,544 yards and 19 touchdowns. The Los Angeles native also lettered in basketball and earned his degree in physical education.

Jackson and his wife, Michelle, launched the Hue Jackson Founda-tion on July 20, 2017. The foundation is committed to empowering children, teen and adult survivors of human trafficking through the funding of organizations that champion for and serve as a voice for those who are exploited. The foundation also focuses its efforts to further awareness, prevention and healing for victims of human trafficking. The foundation’s website is www.huejackson.org.

Jackson and his wife have three daughters, Jordyn, Baylee and Hay-dyn.
