Deshaun Watson on Season Opener Against Bengals: 'It's Going to be Fireworks'

Cleveland hosts Cincinnati on Sept. 10.

CINCINNATI — The Bengals start the regular season in Cleveland against the Browns on Sunday, Sept. 10. 

Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson has high expectations for his squad going into the matchup. 

"Once September 10th comes around in Cleveland Stadium, it is going to be fireworks," Watson said via Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. 

The 3-time Pro Bowler believes Cleveland's offense should reach another level in the opener. 

“Kevin (Stefanski) is on the edge of wanting to call some things, but there are a lot of things that are going to look very different," Watson said. "We have 10 days to get that tuned up and ready to go. That’s the plan. Don’t hold anything back and let it all loose. We want to go out there and have fun doing it.”

Watson completed 5-of-10 passes for 92 yards and one touchdown in Cleveland's final preseason game. The Browns are hoping he takes a major step forward after struggling at the end of last season. 

Meanwhile, the Bengals are hoping to beat Cleveland in back-to-back games for the first time since 2017. 

Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET on Sept. 10 at Cleveland Browns Stadium.
