The Browns and their AFC North brethren have the misfortune of being matched up against the NFC North in 2025. Cleveland will host the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings and hit the road to face off with the Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions.

Shedeur Sanders knows the Cleveland Browns' Week 1 opponent. Now, the Colorado QB just has to win the starting QB job. That's far from a given for the fifth-rounder, of course, but it would certainly generate a lot of hype. So will the Week 1 matchup. It's the Battle of Ohio, Browns hosting Cincinnati Bengals.

Cleveland's rookie quarterback has high expectations surrounding him, but potentially a difficult path to success.
