The Cleveland Browns' new offense struggled significantly in their season opener against the Dallas Cowboys, resulting in a 27-10 defeat. Despite initial promise with a field goal, the Browns' offense, led by Deshaun Watson, was largely ineffective, failing to capitalize on opportunities and plagued by interceptions and sacks. The Cowboys' defense, particularly linebacker Micah Parsons, dominated the game, putting constant pressure on Watson. Notably, Dak Prescott's recent $240 million contract extension was a highlight amid the game's buildup. Both teams faced high expectations following playoff appearances last year, but the Browns' offensive issues remain a major concern. Key matchups included Cleveland's left tackle versus Parsons and the Browns' secondary against CeeDee Lamb.
