Including that postseason meeting, the Chiefs have won their last four matchups with the Browns.
The Chiefs have won six straight and seven of eight regular-season openers under Andy Reid.
The Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers will open the NFL season on Thursday, Sept. 9 against the Dallas Cowboys.
