The schedule for this NFL season was released Wednesday night. This means local fans now know who their team is up against. 

"I'm from Cleveland, and I'm a big Browns fan. I am very excited to kind of see us bounce back after the tough playoff loss last year. I'm excited the schedule came out tonight. I'm really looking forward to that week 1 game Sept. 8, against the Cowboys," Browns fan Joe Carter said. 

Another Browns fan is so passionate about the Browns, he even made a podcast about them. Tristan Kaliszewski said when the schedule is released, it adds some excitement to the off-season.

"When the schedule comes out to be able to kind of look at your match-ups and say ‘Alright, what do I  think my teams are going to do here? Are we going to win? Are we going to lose and which match-ups are crucial?," Kaliszewski said. 

Kaleiszewski said he's looking forward to the AFC North Division games and is hoping to see one in person. 

"I think that's going to be a key factor into who can get into the playoffs because the Bangles did really well, but in the division they went 1-5, and they missed the playoffs," Kaleiszewski said.

Kaleiszewski expects this season to be filled with surprises.

"I think there's going to be a lot of twists and turns. A lot of unexpected teams that rise, teams that fall, and it's by far one of the most important seasons as a Browns fan. . . feels like it's potentially ready to go for a Super Bowl push. We'll see," Kaleiszewski said.
