And when the Browns take the field for their 2021 season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs next month, they'll do so with one of football's top broadcast teams on the call.
On Tuesday, CBS announced its broadcast teams for the 2021 season, as well as their assignments for the first two weeks of the upcoming campaign. In doing so, it revealed that its top team, featuring play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz, analyst Tony Romo and sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson, will be on the call when the Browns face the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium at 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday, Sept. 12.
"Jim Nantz, Tony Romo and Tracy Wolfson once again lead THE NFL ON CBS’ announce team in their fifth year together as they call CBS’ marquee game each week, as well as many of the best games of the 2021 NFL season, the AFC Playoffs and AFC Championship Game," a release sent by CBS reads.
This year marks the second time in three seasons that Nantz, Romo and Wolfson will have broadcasted Cleveland's season opener after they previously called the Browns' Week 1 loss to the Tennessee Titans in 2019. As was the case two years ago, Cleveland enters 2021 looking to live up to lofty expectations -- something the Browns ultimately didn't do in 2019.
There's reason to believe, however, that this season will be different as Cleveland tries to build on a 2020 season in which it amassed an 11-5 regular-season record and earned its first postseason victory since the 1994 season with a win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the wild card round. Perhaps fittingly, the Browns' season ended with a loss to the Chiefs in the divisional round, in a game with Nantz, Romo and Wolfson on the call.
