The Cleveland Browns defeated the Cincinnati Bengals by the score of 24-3.
The Browns have owned the Bengals in recent years so the result was not completely surprising.
Burrow is 1-4 against the Browns, does that mean the Browns own the Bengals?

What was surprising was that Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson admitted that he was dealing with full-body cramps in the second quarter.
His arms and calves were “locking up.”
In the rainy weather, he was gripping the ball too hard.

He also rushed for a touchdown and threw one interception.
Watson outperformed Joe Burrow easily.
Burrow finished the day completing 14 passes for 82 yards.
The Browns are expecting Deshaun Watson to be the missing piece for a team that has not made the playoffs since 2020.
Indeed, Watson has not played a complete NFL season since 2020 so the 2023 season will be a physical test for him in that respect.
The team has put all of the necessary offensive pieces around him to succeed.
Right Tackle Jack Conklin Injured In The Game
One who may have been lost for a lengthy time as a result of today’s game is right tackle Jack Conklin.
Coach Kevin Stefanski admits that things “don’t look good” but did not go into detail on the knee injury that some fear could be season-ending for the two-time First-Team All-Pro.
