Pros and cons of preseason week 1

In Cleveland:

+ In his 12th season with the Browns, Phil Dawson is still a clutch kicker. In the last 93 seconds of the Browns' preseason opener at Green Bay, Dawson drilled field goals of 58 and 46 yards to give Cleveland the win.

- Punter Dave Zastudil is done for the season due to a knee injury that has not recovered from surgery as was hoped.


In Pittsburgh:

+ Sixth-round pick WR Antonio Brown from Central Michigan wowed the fans with his acceleration through the Lions secondary on a 68-yard touchdown reception for the Steelers.

- Pittsburgh's first-string run offense needs to hold on to the ball. On three of the Steelers' first four possessions, a running back fumbled the football.


In Cincinnati:

+ The distracting duo of T.O. and Ochocinco seem to be opening up plenty of space for TE Jermaine Gresham and rookie WR Jordan Shipley in the middle of the field.

- No one in the Bengals' trio of backup quarterbacks has made a strong case to be #2 on the depth chart; they have instead made a strong case for Carson Palmer's need to be kept safe at all costs.


In Baltimore:

+ The Ravens' first-team offense and defense looked good all around, with QB Joe Flacco leading a 96-yard touchdown drive. The only touchdown Baltimore gave up came when Carolina returned a fumble by the Ravens' fourth-string running back.

- You can't draw much meaning from the outcome of a preseason game, where often the goal is just to get some playing time for inexperienced players. In this case, the Panthers' most experienced quarterback has four career regular-season starts.

2010 Preseason: Broncos at Bengals

After a loss in the Hall of Fame Game, the Bengals play their first preseason game at home against the Denver Broncos. Based on what happened last time the Broncos came to Cincinnati, the defense will want to make sure that any long passes get knocked down.
