Browns want a positive result
Cleveland is coming off a very mediocre preseason, after losing all 3 preseason games. Two of those games were lost by a difference of more than 13 points. Undoubtedly, this partly influences the morale of the team going into this match. Of course, these are pre-season matches and practically the starters did not play. However, all teams participated under the same conditions, and showed creativity, complete plays in their playbooks and adaptation to change.. Something that was not seen in any of the Browns’ 3 preseason games.
For this opening game against the Cowboys, there is a lot of hope in their receiver, Amari Cooper. Who achieved 1,250 yards in the season, averaging 83.3 yards gained per game, in turn he managed to catch 72 balls out of 128 that were given to himThese numbers are interesting, to say the least. Especially if we take into account that the team’s QBs are not the most complete at the moment.
It is worth noting that Cleveland has more high-caliber players on offense and defense. Players like Nick Chubb, David Njoku, Myles Garrettamong others. All of the aforementioned are permanent members of the starting lineup. Unquestionably, Cleveland has the means to start the season on the right foot.
It is no surprise to anyone that Cowboys arrive for this season with multiple problemsThe main one is that Dallas is up to its neck in the budget limit, taking away room for renewals and signings of players for this year, and perhaps, for next year. One of the consequences of this situation is the dense problem that has existed between CeeDee Lamb and Cowboys, which has been going on for more than 6 months. Lamb wants more money, however, so far nothing has been done, or at least that is how it seems from the outside. Likewise, Dak Prescotthas a contract with the Cowboys that leaves the Cowboys between a rock and a hard place.
In addition to the above, it is worth noting that Dallas lost many players this season, leaving them exposed for the same reason mentioned with the budget issue. Dallas Cowboys The Cowboys look to be in a bit of a tight spot for this season. On paper, the Cowboys don’t look to be in good shape for this season. The key to success in winning is having a good QB and good playmakers. The quarterback seems to have it, however, the rest of the players that accompany him on offense don’t seem to be the best, at least, to be champions.
Background
This meeting is Considered by many to be a historic and emotional match in the AFCeven though it is a match that is not played very often. This beautiful encounter between both Born in 1960That season, the Cowboys would beat the Browns by 10 points, making the game 24-10. And just like that, it became a relative constant. Which, the Cowboys, mostly dominate the Browns.
Undoubtedly, this match is going to be exciting and competitive, to say the least. Especially if you take into account that it is the first match of both teams for this 2024/25 season.
Although everyone would like to see two teams with all their players healthy, the situation does not look that way for both teams.
On the Cowboys side there are 2 players absent: John Stephens Jr. (TE) and CeeDee Lamb (WR)
On the side of Green Bay Packers Players such as: Nick Chubb (RB), D’Anthony Bell (S), Dalvin Tomlinson (DT), Jedrick Wills Jr. (T), Jack Conklin (T), Maurice Hurst II (DT), Nathaniel Watson (LB), David Bell (WR), Jordan Hicks (LB) y Quinton Jefferson (DT).
Cleveland showed a very complete defensive capability in the middle of last year. After stopping almost all NFL offenses without much difficulty, of course, that defense was led by an extremely complete player, Myles Garrett. Myles was involved in 42 tackle plays, 33 of which were handled by him individually, the other 9 were assisted plays. In addition to all this, he averaged a total of 14.0 tackles for the season, incredible numbers.
Garrett closed out his season on a high note, winning the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year award last season.
Cowboys superstar, CeeDee Lamb, He closed last season with some pretty positive numbers, being a key piece for Dallas. Lamb averaged 1,749 yards in the season, gaining on average 102.9 yards per game, receiving 135 of the 181 balls that went his way, and scoring 12 TDs last season.
CeeDee Lamb He is arguably the most important offensive player they have. If Dallas wants to have a halfway decent season, they must find a way to keep this player. Because he is indisputably one of the best WRs in the NFL today.
