Cowboys vs. Browns AP Preview:
CLEVELAND (AP) — There will be three high-profile quarterbacks sharing the national spotlight Sunday for a star-packed season opener between the Dallas Cowboys and Cleveland Browns.
Only two of them will take snaps.
As Dak Prescott and Deshaun Watson match drop backs, rollouts and completions to kick off critical seasons for both respective QBs, their every move will be dissected by Tom Brady, the seven-time Super Bowl winner who’ll make his TV broadcasting for the game as an analyst with Fox.
Brady’s ballyhooed appearance, which has been in the works since before he announced his retirement from playing for a second time, adds another layer to a Week 1 game overloaded with juicy storylines.
“I’m sure he’ll do a great job,” said Browns Pro Bowl guard Joel Bitonio. “He’s done great jobs with pretty much everything else he’s done. It’s cool.”
Brady has reportedly immersed himself into preparing for the call with the same passion he had while passing for nearly 90,000 yards and 649 touchdowns during an unparalleled career with New England and Tampa Bay.
There may be no one better on the planet better qualified than Brady to scrutinize Prescott as he heads into his final year under contract or inspect Watson, who ‘ ll play for the first time since breaking a bone in his throwing shoulder in November.
The injury was a sudden, stunning end to Watson’s second season with the Browns, who are still hoping their $230 million investment to solve their long search for a franchise QB isn’t wasted money.
Watson had no issues throwing this summer, but the Browns decided not to play him during the preseason to avoid a catastrophe. Coach Kevin Stefanski has overhauled his offense, bringing in coordinator Ken Dorsey — a former Browns quarterback — to tailor a system that better suits Watson’s dual-threat skillset.
It’s operated efficiently in practice, but Cleveland’s offense may need some time to find its rhythm.
If that’s the case, the Browns will lean on a defense led by edge rusher extraordinaire and reigning AP Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett.
Under first-year coordinator Jim Schwartz, the unit dominated during the regular season in 2023 before disappearing in a playoff loss to Houston.
“They’ve got an elite player on every level,” Prescott said. “That’s a strength. And having played Schwartz earlier in my career, understanding what he wants to do and watching their tape from last year, he’s very physical. They’re fast. They know how to play to their strengths and they’re a great matchup for us.”
As usual, Dallas is strapped with huge expectations. It comes with the territory as America’s Team, a title that may now belong to Kansas City.
While they’ve won 12 games in each of the past three seasons, the Cowboys failed to win the NFC title and owner Jerry Jones’ patience — never one of his strengths — has been exhausted. It’s now or never.
Prescott, who’s coming off his best season as a pro (36 TDs, 9 INTs, 4,516 yards), wants a contract extension as he’s determined to be the one to put the Cowboys back on top. Dallas last won the Super Bowl in 1995 — an eternity for its demanding fans.
“That’s what motivates me on being here, honestly, to be the quarterback who does it, who wins it,” he said. “I don’t think winning it any other place would be the same as winning it here. That is A-No. 1 in wanting to be here.”
Assembly lines
Both teams have had to shuffle their offensive lines. Dallas will start two rookies. Cleveland isn’t sure who’s starting.
The Cowboys are trusting first-round pick Tyler Guyton to protect Prescott’s blindside against the game-wrecking Garrett. He may need lots of help.
Also, Cooper Beebe, a third-round selection from Kansas State, will start at center and fill the vacancy left by Tyler Biadasz signing with Washington in free agency.
For Cleveland, left tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. doesn’t appear quite ready after undergoing offseason knee surgery. The Browns may slide right tackle Jack Conklin over temporarily, but he just returned last week following knee reconstruction. James Hudson III is another option.
It’s also possible the Browns will rotate tackles.
“I have faith in all of them,” Bitonio said. “All of them have played a lot of football. We know they have great edges, but we have faith in all those guys.”
Lamb’s lost time
Cowboys star receiver CeeDee Lamb has confidently declared he’ll be ready without limitations after missing training camp and the preseason in a contract holdout. He signed his $136 million, four-year extension last week.
The Browns ranked No. 1 in pass defense last year and believe they’ll be ready for Lamb, who led the league with 135 catches last season while setting a franchise record with 1,749 yards receiving and scoring 12 TDs.
“He wears No. 88, so we’ll be able to find him,” joked Schwartz. “I like our matchups. This is NFL football, man. This is awesome. One of the best receivers in the NFL and what I consider the best corner group. We play a lot of man-to-man, so, it’s going to be fun to watch those guys.”
On the edge
Micah Parsons was smartly dressed in a tailored blue suit on his last visit to Cleveland. He’ll be less formal this time.
The Cowboys picked the star edge rusher 12th overall when the 2021 draft was hosted by the Browns. Since then, he has 41 sacks and joined Hall of Famer Reggie White as the only players with at least 13 in each of their first three seasons.
Although he won’t match up against Garrett, Parsons wants to measure up to him.
“I always love competition, and I felt that even when we played the Rams and (Aaron) Donald,” Parsons said. “If Donald had two sacks, I need two sacks just because it’s the competitive spirit. We both know where we are. Garrett’s one of my favorite rushers — him and Maxx Crosby — two guys that are just so freaky and gifted. It’s going to be exciting to play against him.”

Woman, 28, arrested for murder after 2 young girls found in suitcases on Cleveland’s east side
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – Cleveland police have charged a 28-year-old woman with aggravated murder and child endangering for the deaths of two young girls found buried in suitcases on the city’s east side.
Aliyah Henderson was arrested Wednesday evening at a home on E. 162nd after officers executed a search warrant. She was then booked into the Cuyahoga County Jail.
Cleveland police said a third child was found inside the home and appeared to be in good health. That child is now in the custody of the Department of Children and Family Services.
The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner identified the two girls as 10-year-old Amor Wilson and 8-year-old Mila Chatman. The girls are also half-sisters.
The bodies of the two half-sisters were found in partially buried suitcases around 6 p.m. Monday near E. 162nd Street and Midland Avenue.
This is in the city’s South Collinwood neighborhood.
A man was walking his dog in the area, for the first time in a while, due to the snow, and the dog hit on the scent.
The man immediately called 911.
When officers and homicide detectives got to the field, they found the second body nearby.
Cleveland Police Chief Dorothy Todd said the victims had been there for some time.
“These were two young lives with their entire futures ahead of them,” said Cleveland Police Chief Dorothy Todd. “Our detectives worked tirelessly and with great care to identify those responsible. Investigations of this nature require patience, precision, and discretion. Unlike what is often portrayed on television, every detail cannot be shared publicly. Certain information must remain confidential to protect the integrity of the investigation and ensure justice for these victims. That careful and methodical work allowed our detectives to develop the evidence needed to make quick identification of a person of interest, ultimately resulting in an arrest.”
Henderson will be in the Cleveland Municipal Court on Friday at 8:30 a.m.
If anyone has any information, they are asked to call the Cleveland Police Homicide Unit at 216-623-5464.
Tips can remain anonymous.
A memorial where the two girls were found has continued to grow with teddy bears, flowers, balloons and more throughout the day.

Man who claims girl found in suitcase is his daughter says he begged courts and CPS for help
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – 19 News spoke with a man who claims he is the father of one of the two little girls found dead and buried in suitcases in Cleveland.
Deshaun Chatman shared that he was overcome with grief and anger as he came to terms with the terrible truth that his 8-year-old girl, Mila Chatman, is dead.
“I’ve been looking for my daughter for five years. I’ve been calling CPS, going to the courts, trying to get emergency custody, calling the police for welfare checks. But they denied all access,” Chatman alleged.
On Monday, she and her half-sister, Amor Wilson, 10, were found dead and partially buried, after a neighbor walking his dog near a field in the area of East 163rd and Midland Avenue called 911 after his dog picked up a scent.
Cleveland police on Wednesday detained a person of interest, whom officers later identified as Aliyah Henderson, 28, near the crime scene.
Records show Henderson was booked into the Cuyahoga County Jail on Wednesday evening.
According to Chatman, the little girl’s mother had been avoiding him and moving around a lot. The last time he said he saw her was when he helped buy clothes for kindergarten.
Chatman told 19 News that he is now working with detectives to prove he was Mila’s father.
“I’m still in contact with the detectives. We’re doing the DNA samples. So I’ll get more details within the next couple of days.”
Chatman visited the site where his little girl’s body was found with 19 News.
“What I’m feeling is hate. I’m not going to lie, I feel hate. I asked you on numerous occasions for my daughter. If it’s too much for you. I just want my daughter,” Chatman said when asked how he felt.
Chatman, so overwhelmed by the sight, needed to be comforted by a friend.
“I don’t get how you can hate your kids enough to kill them. To bury them. To do all this and go right there to that home, right there, and live there when your kids are right here. Go be a mother to another child, while you just killed your other two.”
Now, he tells 19 News that he wants changes to the system, which he said denied him a chance to be a father.
“Change these laws. Make it better. A man do have a say so in their child’s life, married or unmarried,” Chatman said.
19 News has reached out to Cuyahoga County Children and Family Services to learn if it was involved in any way and if Chatman had any contact with the office.
