Here are all the best and worst performances from the first Sunday of the 2023 NFL season.
Mother Nature was a clear winner on Sunday in Ohio. Raining on and off all day, the Browns and Bengals battled in a sloppy game -- with one side making a clear statement.
Cleveland's offense wasn't much better than Cincinnati's, but it made timely plays when it had to and capitalized in key moments. Deshaun Watson and Co. took a 10-0 lead into halftime and gradually built the margin in the final two frames. Nick Chubb had 106 rushing yards, while Watson finished 16 of 29 for 154 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.The Josh Harris era in D.C. began with a 20-16 victory, as the Cardinals found a way to lose an ugly, winnable game.
Washington, meanwhile, picked up a win that it had to have if it wants to compete this season. Sam Howell, in his second career start, went 19 of 31 for 202 yards, two touchdowns and two turnovers .The Vikings, who finished 13-4 last season, lost to Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers at home to open the season. Much of the blame can be pinned on quarterback Kirk Cousins.
