The Cleveland Browns will play their first game of the preseason in week 1 as they travel to Jacksonville, FL to take on the Jaguars. Cleveland has spent much of the offseason in the headlines after trading away former #1 overall pick Baker Mayfield as they have given the keys to Deshaun Watson coming into 2022. Watson will miss this game due to a suspension meaning Jacoby Brissett and Josh Rosen will split most of the time. Brissett played well a year ago in Miami totaling 1,283 yards and 5 scores as he will compete to be the #2 behind Watson.
Defensively Cleveland was dominate a year ago allowing a league best 5 yards per play and will look to build on that success this year. Myles Garrett will still be the leader of the Cleveland defense but with Jadaveon Clowney resigning the Browns have one of the best tandems in the NFL up front.
