Dallas Cowboys vs. Cleveland Browns, 2024 NFL Week 1
At long last we have made it to Week 1. Congratulations everybody.
The Dallas Cowboys will visit the Cleveland Browns on Sunday afternoon to kick off their 2024 season. It is the 65th campaign in Dallas Cowboys franchise history and the 29th in a row that they are looking to add to their collection of five Vince Lombardi trophies.
Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, Micah Parsons, Trevon Diggs and the rest of the Cowboys roster have the responsibility of trying to do it. Mike McCarthy will lead them in his fourth season in charge of the team. McCarthy is entering a contract year with the club which is a cloud that hangs over everything.
If McCarthy’s contract status is a cloud then Dak Prescott’s is a brewing storm. As of Monday in Week 1 his situation is still not resolved which casts the future of the franchise into relative uncertainty.
But none of that will matter on Sunday as Dallas faces a Browns team with Deshaun Watson at quarterback, not exactly an advantage based on his play since the team acquired him. Nick Chubb will miss the contest due to being on the PUP list to start the season, but Myles Garrett will play in his first regular season game since winning Defensive Player of the Year in 2023 and will present all sorts of problems for Cowboys rookie Tyler Guyton.
