The Buffalo Bills are set to square off with the Cleveland Browns in Week 2 of the 2015 NFL preseason games. The game will be held at the FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland on August 20.
Buffalo is coming off a sorry 24-25 home loss to the Carolina Panthers in their preseason opener on Friday as third-string signal caller Joe Webb led Ron Rivera's team to an 8-0 fourth period run to overtake the Bills, as reported by ESPN.
One of the team's starting defensive tackles, Marcell Dareus, was dropped from the starting lineup because he was given a one-game suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy. He is replaced by Corbin Bryant.
Meanwhile, the Browns were outlasted by the Washington Redskins, 17-20, right at their home field as well.
Cleveland quarterback Josh McCown scored in the first possession of his first game with the Browns as the team built an early lead in the first half before succumbing to the Redskins' defense in the second where they only managed to score a field goal, as per Bleacher Report.
Rex Ryan's squad is strong on the road while Cleveland is definitely struggling at home so expect Buffalo to take advantage of this preseason matchup.
