The Cleveland Browns have not done well in their first regular season game over the past decade, but the tide could change when they battle the Cincinnati Bengals in the Battle of Ohio. This is Pat Shurmur's first opportunity to have an edge in a division battle, because they won't see AFC North opponents again until the end of the season. Is Colt McCoy up to the task of operating the West Coast Offense? Can the 4-3 defense deliver a pass rush that can disrupt rookie quarterback Andy Dalton?
