Can Deshaun Watson establish himself as a force in the AFC North?

The Battle of Ohio gets a little bit spicier this week when the Browns host the Bengals in the season opener. The game will pit Deshaun Watson against Joe Burrow for the second time but, let's be honest, last season's matchup in Cincinnati wasn't exactly the best of Watson. Will this be the week Watson begins to establish himself as a force to be reckoned with in the AFC North, a division he's had some struggles against in his career? Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe start off Thurday's podcast by discussing Watson and Burrow squaring off. Then they discuss the potential return of Denzel Ward, who was back at practice. They also go through a few stories they wrote on Wednesday and talk about a couple of players they spoke with during open locker room.
