The Cleveland Browns are traveling west this weekend, heading to Las Vegas for the first time in franchise history to take on the Raiders.
While Cleveland has traveled west multiple times over the past 15 years, a trip to face teams in the Pacific Time Zone is a rare occasion for any NFL franchise as the league has only five teams with stadiums under the time zone.
The Browns will be looking to snap an odd streak with a victory Sunday as Cleveland has lost eight consecutive road trips in games played using the Pacific Time Zone.
Cleveland’s last victory in the Pacific Time Zone came when quarterback Brandon Weeden threw for 364 yards and a touchdown to beat the then-Oakland Raiders 20-17 on December 2, 2012.
Since then, the Browns have dropped three games to the Chargers – including once in San Diego – and all four games Cleveland has played against the NFC West.
Since the franchise’s rebirth in 1999, the Pacific Time Zone has been unkind territory.
The Browns have a 4-15 mark playing in the Pacific Time Zone since 1999.
Head coach Kevin Stefanski is 0-3 during his tenure with the Browns, losing twice to teams from the Pacific Time Zone last season.
Cleveland has lost four straight in Arizona (which observes the Mountain Standard Time Zone), last winning against the franchise on the road in 1988 when the team was known as the Phoenix Cardinals.
Here is a list of the last 19 road games the Browns have played in stadiums that observe the Pacific Time Zone.
