The Cleveland Browns season-opening loss left a lot to be desired as they fell 33-17 at home to the Dallas Cowboys<\/a>. The game started and ended rough, and there are even more questions now for the orange and brown.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Browns hung around early in the second half and had their only solid offensive drive of the game. The season-opening loss featured a lot of mistakes and missed opportunities. To keep it simple, they were flat-out outplayed and outcoached.<\/span><\/p>\n

As with any loss, the blame can be placed on a variety of factors and players. This one is no different; here are a few letdowns from the Browns season-opening loss.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Offensive Line<\/b><\/h3>\n

The Browns entered the game with injuries on the offensive line and it showed. The season-opening loss was as bad for the line as anyone else.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both Jack Conklin<\/a> and Jedrick Wills Jr.<\/a> were inactive after battling to be healthy and ready to play all week. James Hudson III<\/a> got the start at left tackle, and the rest was history.<\/span><\/p>\n
