Cowboys-Browns live updates: Newly-paid Dak Prescott, Dallas open 2024 season on the road

After a long offseason, the wait is finally over.

Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys hit the road to open the 2024 season against Deshaun Watson and the Cleveland Browns. Although Dallas enters the matchup with a favorable record (3-0 in lifetime in openers against the Browns), Cleveland could present various challenges for Mike McCarthy’s squad.

Before Sunday’s matchup, Prescott notably agreed to a four-year extension with the Cowboys. He’s now the highest-paid player in NFL history.

Can Dallas open the season with a win for the second consecutive year? Will Amari Cooper get some revenge on his former team?
