It's Baker Versus The Browns In A Week-1 Battle In Carolina

The Baker Mayfield era in Carolina begins today.....against his old team, the Cleveland Browns. Baker was shipped to the Panthers after the monster trade for Deshaun Watson with the Houston Texans.

Many storylines are present headed into this game. Mayfield enters the year 100% healthy after suffering through a shoulder injury suffered during a week-2 Browns victory over Houston.

Mayfield will also have a rookie left tackle protecting him who will be responsible for keeping Browns DE Myles Garrett out of the backfield.

The Browns opened as a four point favorite over the Panthers in Week-1 last may but the game is now a pick 'em as Jacoby Brissette will serve as today's Cleveland quarterback.

Brissette will serve in that role as starter, Deshaun Watson, sits out the first 11 games for alleged sexual misconduct with dozens of massage therapists while a member of the Houston Texas.
