The Carolina Panthers and Baker Mayfield will face the Cleveland Browns without Deshaun Watson to start their new season.
The Carolina Panthers will face the Cleveland Browns on 8th September 2022 to kickstart their new NFL season. It is a much-anticipated clash because both of the return of Panthers’ new quarterback Baker Mayfield to his former team.
In his first-ever game for his new team, Baker Mayfield has the opportunity to haunt his former team who forced him out of the team by getting another quarterback to replace him without even telling him.
Unfortunately, the Browns won’t be able to see their new QB1 Deshaun Watson in action because he is suspended for the first 11 games of the season and the Carolina Panthers fans will be happy to see the Browns without Watson.

This is the revenge game for Baker Mayfield and he will be more motivated than ever to prove his all doubters wrong and completely wreak havoc on his former team. Mayfield played through injuries last season and it resulted in bad performances from him but now he is fully healthy and is ready to have a big game against his former team.
The Carolina Panthers are in a very good position to start their new season on a high note as they have Christian McCaffrey returning along with a new and good quarterback at their helm. On the other hand the Browns without Deshaun Watson will have a tough time to get positive results, as a result, the Panthers are expected to get the job done here.
