About the Cleveland Browns vs. Cincinnati Bengals 2023 NFL Week 1 Matchup

The Cincinnati Bengals are coming off of a 2022 season that saw them fall just short of a second-straight Super Bowl appearance. They will open up the new campaign taking on their in-state rivals, the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, Sept. 10 at 1 p.m. ET on CBS.

Bengals’ QB Joe Burrow will once again be teaming up with fellow LSU alum Ja’Marr Chase, along with other wide receivers Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd. Last season, Cincinnati boasted the fifth-best passing offense in the NFL. Former Oklahoma running back Joe Mixon will be coming out of the backfield for Cincinnati to add an extra dimension to the offense.

On the other side of the field, after being suspended for the first 11 games of last season, Deshaun Watson is firmly in control of the Browns’ offense as the team looks to reach the playoffs for just the second time since the 2002 season.

In the forthcoming 2023 NFL season opener, the Cincinnati Bengals and the Cleveland Browns are slated to engage in a highly-anticipated contest steeped in rivalry and playoff aspirations. Following the departure of Kareem Hunt, Nick Chubb will hold down the backfield responsibilities with wide receivers Amari Coopper, Donovan Peoples-Jones, and Elijah Moore looking to stretch the field. On defense, Myles Garrett led the AFC with 16 sacks in 2022, and will be instrumental to slowing down the high-powered Bengals offense in the season opener.

Cincinnati leads the all-time series 52–47, but inexplicably, the Browns are 11-2-2 in the series since the start of the 2018 season. Burrow and the Bengals will attempt to get their second win in as many games against their Ohio rivals and get their season off to a winning start.
