CLEVELAND, Ohio- The Cleveland Browns lost their season opener and the first game of the 2025-26 regular season on Sunday afternoon at the Hunting Bank Field Stadium in downtown Cleveland, Ohio, 17-16, with Browns Quarterback Joe Flacco at the helm. Lead Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson remains on the injured list and is out for at least the first five games of the season, reports say.

The game was neck-and-neck, with the Bengals leading 17-16 in the fourth quarter. But Flacco threw an interception, and the Browns never recovered, falling to the Bengals, who had not won a season-opener since 2021.

Flacco finished with 186 passing yards and a rushing touchdown for the Browns, and Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow completed 14 of 23 passes for 113 yards and a touchdown.

The Browns will play the Baltimore Ravens next Sunday, Sept. 14, in Baltimore, their second game of the regular season.
