NFL Week 1 early games live tracker: Bengals open 2023 season against division-rival Browns

It's time for one of the best days of the entire year: the first NFL Sunday. And on this first NFL Sunday, the Battle of Ohio will be staged once again, pitting neighbor against neighbor, spouse against spouse and friend against friend.

So the fan reaction may not be quite that dramatic when the Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns face off, but the 53-year-old rivalry is about to reach an important milestone. It is the 100th meeting between the two teams. Through 99 games, the Browns have won 47, while the Bengals have won 52 — including their most recent meeting in December.
