The Cleveland Browns will be kicking off the 2024 NFL season hosting the Dallas Cowboys, an interesting matchup between two teams that seem to be on the fringe of playoff contention this season.
Cleveland and Dallas each made the wild-card round of the playoffs last season but were unceremoniously bounced by the Houston Texans and Green Bay Packers, respectively.
Now, the squads will be looking to get off on the right foot, and the game will likely come down to the play of their quarterbacks.
Cowboys QB Dak Prescott has a lot to prove after not getting a contract extension this offseason, while Browns signal-caller Deshaun Watson is back after missing most of last season with a shoulder injury.
Working in the Browns’ favor is their defense, which should be able to carry them through games, though Watson is still the key to their success.
Although the teams aren’t scheduled to face off until later in the day on Sunday, Cleveland fans are already lining up to tailgate.
“The Cleveland Browns fans are lined up for tailgating 28 hours before kick-off,” NFL Notifications reported on X.
Football fans love to tailgate as a means to get ready for the actual game, and it looks like the faithful in Cleveland couldn’t wait to get things going.
There’s nothing like the return of football season, as it brings a wave of excitement, and in this case, it’ll be interesting to see who comes out victorious between the Cowboys and Browns.
