Browns Bye Week

Recommended Posts

I just noticed that the Browns don't have a bye next week.  Is this the first time a team has had to play in the US the week following a game in Europe?  Not only that, but the Vikings had an extra week to aclimate to the time difference and next week the Browns have to play the Steelers coming off of their bye.  Is this league punishment for the guarenteed Watson contract?

Not the first time. Teams have the option of taking it after an international game or not…

I seem to recall that they consult the teams playing in europe with respect to the scheduling.   if they dont have a bye, it was likely their preference as Jrokh mentioned.  if they felt they were getting the short end of the stick they likely would have made a big deal of it.  so the fact they are silent should say it all.
