The Cleveland Browns and Dallas Cowboys both enter the upcoming season with plenty to prove.
The Browns are coming off a disappointing end to an emotional season that saw them become the most resilient team in the league.
The Cowboys, on the other hand, were supposed to be contenders after a strong regular season and imploded in the playoffs.
With that in mind, star CB Denzel Ward talked about how excited he was about getting back on the field for the start of the regular season (via Daryl Ruiter).

When asked about Dak Prescott, he said he is a very good quarterback who can stretch the field and has plenty of weapons.
He also stated that he was looking forward to matching up with CeeDee Lamb, as it’s always fun to go against the No. 1 guys in the league and other teams.
Prescott and Lamb have developed elite chemistry, and even if the All-Pro wideout missed training camp and the preseason with a contract dispute, he should get back to his dominant ways as soon as he takes the field.
Then again, the Browns have one of the best defenses in the game, especially at home, and they should put plenty of pressure on Prescott right off the bat.
The Cowboys’ running back committee is far from impressive, and trusting Prescott to win a game for them has rarely worked.
Still, anything can happen in the first week of the season when both teams are still shaking off the rust.
