Browns and Ravens games will set tone

We started out in a hole last year and had to climb back to make it to the playoffs thanks to the 10 game win streak. You dont want to put your team in a hole like that from the very beginning where you need to claw your way back with a big win steak. Even then the Bengals missed out on home field advantage which the Chiefs got again thanks in large part to the horrible start. It does matter
