The Cleveland Browns are set to host the Carolina Panthers for their home opener in Week 3 after defeating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 2. The Panthers recorded their first win of the season by beating the Atlanta Falcons. Despite making offseason improvements, questions remain about their overall strength. Quarterback Bryce Young has shown progress, ranking among the league leaders in several passing categories. The Panthers' defense, bolstered by the addition of linebacker Devin Lloyd, aims for consistency to support their offense moving forward.
