Freshly paid Dak Prescott and Dallas open the 2024 season on the road

After a long break, the wait is finally over.

Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys will start the 2024 season with an away game against Deshaun Watson and the Cleveland Browns. Although Dallas comes into the duel with a good record (3-0 in the opening games against the Browns), Cleveland could pose several challenges for Mike McCarthy's team.

Before Sunday's game, Prescott agreed to a four-year contract extension with the Cowboys, making him the highest-paid player in NFL history.

Can Dallas open the season with a win for the second consecutive year? Will Amari Cooper get revenge on his former team?
