The Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns square off Sunday at Huntington Bank Field in an AFC North matchup with very different storylines.
Cincinnati enters the season looking to rebound after missing the playoffs a year ago despite fielding one of the NFL’s most explosive attacks, averaging 27.8 points per contest.
At the center of it all is Joe Burrow, widely regarded as one of the premier quarterbacks in the league, flanked by star wideouts Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins to form one of the most dangerous passing duos in football.
Cleveland, on the other hand, is trying to erase memories of a dismal 2024 campaign in which it owned the league’s worst offense, managing just 15.2 points per game. Quarterback instability was at the root of those struggles, and the Browns now turn to veteran Joe Flacco for stability.
At 40, Flacco’s best years are behind him, but the former Super Bowl MVP did guide Cleveland to the postseason two years ago and will be tasked with steadying the ship once again.
