“It’s exciting to start the season at home,” said head coach Kevin Stefanski. “Last year’s home opener was electric and we’re looking for the same atmosphere. We feed off the energy of our fans and I’m sure this will be the first of the 2024 season to get a little extra juice from them. It will be a big challenge for the Cowboys to be the defending NFC East champions, and we look forward to it.”
They traveled to Dallas in 2020, where they defeated the Cowboys 49-38 in Week 4. The Browns last hosted the Cowboys in Cleveland in 2016, and they lost 35-10 to Dallas.
