Tennessee Titans series history against Cleveland Browns

Tennessee Titans

Nashville, TN – This week’s game marks the 65th all-time meeting in the regular season between the Tennessee Titans and Cleveland Browns. In the previous 64 outings, the Browns own a 35-29 advantage, including separate nine- and six-game winning streaks by the Browns.

The Titans’ nine-game losing streak against the Browns from 1970-74 is tied for the longest in franchise history (Oakland, 1966-73).

Additionally, the clubs have played one playoff game, a 24-23 Wild Card win by the Oilers in 1988.

The series was interrupted after the 1995 season as a result of the former Browns moving to Baltimore to begin play as the Ravens.

A new team was granted to Cleveland to begin play once again in 1999. The new version of the Browns kept the old team’s name, records and logos and was once again a member of the AFC Central until divisional realignment in 2002 sent them to the AFC North and the Titans to the AFC South.

After the reincarnation of the Browns in 1999, the Titans won the next five meetings. Since then, however, the Browns have the advantage, taking five out of seven games.

On October 5th, 2014, the Browns recorded an historic comeback against the Titans at Nissan Stadium, erasing a 25-point deficit to win 29-28. It was the largest road comeback in NFL history.

The Titans and Browns most recently met in Week 2 of 2015 at FirstEnergy Stadium. Browns wide receiver Travis Benjamin scored twice on passes from Johnny Manziel and added a punt return touchdown to defeat the Titans 28-14.
