At one level throughout the incident, movies confirmed Hill mendacity on the bottom, handcuffed, with 4 officers round him.

(Editor’s be aware: The content material offered relies on opinions and/or perspective of the DallasCowboys.com editorial workers and never the Cowboys soccer workers or group.)
CLEVELAND — The wait was over and the video games formally started to matter, however first it was Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys delivering blockbuster information by means of a historic multi-year deal that secures him because the staff’s franchise quarterback by the 2028 season.
However whereas that information was nonetheless transferring at fever pitch throughout all media platforms, the Cleveland Browns had sights on spoiling the celebration.
Prescott and Lamb have been seeking to get off of a scorching begin, the latter having missed all of coaching camp on account of a contractual holdout that resulted in a megadeal of his personal, however the offense additionally featured the return of Ezekiel Elliott to the working again depth chart and a revamped offensive line with rookies Tyler Guyton and Cooper Beebe at left deal with and heart, respectively, up towards Myles Garrett and among the finest defenses within the NFL.
Talking of defenses, the Cowboys’ welcomed again Mike Zimmer this 12 months to coordinate theirs and the return of All-Professional cornerback Trevon Diggs leads the cost behind Micah Parsons and Co., although being with out DaRon Bland, the opposite record-setting All-Professional cornerback, thrust rookie Caelen Carson onto heart stage.
In the long run, it was a blowout at Huntington Financial institution Stadium to start the Cowboys’ season at 1-0, and it actually wasn’t shut as the ultimate rating implies.
Let’s discuss a few of those that jumped off of the movie on this sport, in explosive trend.
Sure, the $240 million man got here to play ball in Cleveland. Prescott seemed as crisp and as decisive as ever and, mixed with some surgically-precise play-calling from Mike McCarthy, the Cowboys’ offense wasted little time getting on the board by way of an athletic landing toss from Prescott to Brandin Cooks — within the face of a Cowl-0 blitz, no much less — for a 21-yard go to to pay dust. There was not often an errant throw from the All-Professional quarterback, as a few of his incompletions have been really drops by the targets however, all in all, he was cooking in Week 1 and made positive to indicate everybody why he is price each penny of that new contract.
Rust? What rust? There wasn’t any on Lamb, regardless of having missed all of coaching camp with the holdout. The All-Professional isn’t solely barely greater, however he is arguably shiftier than he was throughout his record-setting season, and that is saying so much when you think about how slippery he has already been all through his younger profession. Lamb was energetic as each a receiver and a halfback, protecting the nice instances rolling with the latter after having proven he is a viable possibility there final season. There wasn’t a lot of something Lamb could not do in Cleveland, and meaning it is unlikely there might be something he cannot do going ahead — seeing because the Browns have among the finest defenses in your complete NFL.
In 2023, Cooks bought off to a gradual begin in McCarthy’s first season as playcaller (and Cooks’ first 12 months in Dallas) however picked up steam because the season went alongside. This offseason, the veteran wideout seemed as spectacular as he ever as at any level in his NFL profession, and but he flew below the radar as youthful broad receivers took heart stage within the headlines as CeeDee Lamb held out for a brand new contract. However Cooks was doing injury in Oxnard, and he carried that over to the common season opener, refusing to get off to a chilly begin for a second 12 months in a row.
Rumors of his demise have been drastically exaggerated. There are these outdoors of the constructing who accused Elliott of being washed, however he is trying dry clear solely to date. The previous two-time NFL speeding champ began his afternoon towards the Browns with a handoff on the primary play from scrimmage after which hurdling the defender as a result of, sure, he can nonetheless do it. The play was known as again on account of a holding penalty behind him, however the message was despatched. Elliott went on to do injury in each quick and center yardage as each a halfback and a receiver out of the backfield.
It all the time feels as if Turpin is a hair away from taking one to the home, however he was bald on Sunday towards the Browns. DeMarcus Lawrence sacked Watson within the third quarter to drive a punt that Turpin fielded and took again the opposite manner for a 60-yard landing — one thing he is been near doing at a number of factors in his younger profession in Dallas. It gave the Cowboys a 20-3 lead at that time and practically turned the Browns totally one-dimensional however, extra importantly, it reestablished the risk that Turpin could be as a returner on this league.
So that is what it seems prefer to have dominant linebackers, plural, on the roster? The 180-degree flip the Cowboys have skilled on the place within the first 12 months of Mike Zimmer’s return has been a sight to behold, and it is led by Kendricks’ determination to depart the San Francisco 49ers on learn on the final minute and convey his skills to Dallas. Kendricks was a person possessed towards the Browns, main the staff in tackles for a lot of the sport and including an interception and eight-yard return to his backside line. Yet one more former All-Professional that many questioned about on account of his age confirmed they need to’ve by no means doubted him within the first place.
Micah Parsons, W (Weapon)
He does not need to be the killer. He does not need to be the hitman. Parsons desires to be the murderer for the Cowboys in 2024, and he is off to a pleasant begin in that mission. Zimmer performed him in a number of positions on Sunday towards the Browns and it paid off with loads of pressures towards Watson and a sack within the first half, together with a PBU that led to Kendricks’ interception within the second quarter. The movie on Parsons’ efficiency in Cleveland will make your jaw drop, even when his stat line will not.
Mission numero uno was to cease the run, and Lawrence helped make sure that the Cowboys did precisely that. Mission numero dos was to bully the hell out of Watson and, sure, Lawrence made positive to assist make sure that occurred as effectively. The previous Professional Bowl edge rusher was a brick wall every time the ball was run to his aspect and with the assistance of Osa Odighizuwa a time or two, he was capable of take Watson down for one among a number of Cowboys’ sacks on the night. Backside line is Lawrence continues to play at a excessive stage as a heartbeat of the protection, including a second sack of the day to his tally late within the fourth as Watson tried to flee.
WOW. I imply, I might cease there however I am going to offer you a bit extra about what I noticed from Overshown in Cleveland. Regardless of it being a de facto rookie debut for the previous Longhorn, Overshown performed like he is been within the league for years — excessive soccer IQ to go together with his unreal athletic skills. Within the days main into the matchup, Overshown informed me he was “trying ahead” to Watson making an attempt to run and he wasn’t kidding. Within the second half, he principally hunted Watson like a cheetah on a hyena when the QB tried to flee on 4th-and-6 to take him down for a three-yard loss on a play you need to see to imagine. Overshown and Kendricks have been a deadly LB duo.
He is again. He’s so again. Diggs confirmed little indicators of rust, if any in any respect, over the course of 4 quarters that concerned a heavy workload for the All-Professional. His protection was sensational, even when performs broke down, and his tackling was simply as stout within the open subject. And when Watson determined to focus on him within the fourth quarter, as soon as too typically, Diggs reminded him why he had 11 interceptions not so way back. An interception on a throw to Elijah Moore despatched Watson again to the sideline to ponder the error of his methods, and Diggs proper again into the dialog as among the finest corners round.
Amari Cooper is a menace, and that is what makes what Carson did that rather more spectacular. On the second goal to Cooper, Carson landed a PBU after which stood over the five-time Professional Bowler, taunting him, one thing that might be ill-advised for those who’re not able to persevering with to cease him over the course of the sport. Carson helped to close Cooper down totally, backing up his taunting, holding the previous Cowboys’ WR1 to a complete of solely 16 yards on two receptions as the sport neared its conclusion — making good on his “Seat Belt” nickname in his rookie debut towards among the finest to ever do it.
Due to course, amirite? All Aubrey did is what Aubrey all the time does: be correct from any distance. He went an ideal 4-for-4 on the afternoon, including 12 factors to the ultimate rating. Essentially the most potent kicking weapon within the NFL additionally bought a shot at making historical past on a 66-yarder however a penalty deleted the chance and the Cowboys opted to not attempt a 71-yarder, doubtless for concern of danger of harm. In addition they did not want it, because it turned out, however they do want him accessible, so it was a sensible determination.
We have got a extremely entertaining Week 1 matchup on our palms between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Atlanta Falcons. Kirk Cousins is slated to make his extremely anticipated Falcons debut, whereas Russell Wilson could or might not be making his for Pittsburgh.
Wilson is questionable for the sport as he’s coping with a calf damage. That might open the door for Justin Fields to make his first common season begin for the Steelers after he bought the vast majority of the staff’s first-team reps throughout coaching camp.
Whoever begins for the Steelers will likely be with out wideout Roman Wilson and beginning offensive lineman Isaac Seumalo. Relaxation assured that Pittsburgh will lean on working again Najee Harris, who ran for 86 yards on 17 carries throughout Pittsburgh’s win in Atlanta again in Week 13 of the 2022 season. On protection, it’s going to be fascinating to see if the Steelers’ protection (which made a number of massive additions this offseason) is ready to include Cousins and Atlanta’s spectacular talent gamers, led by working again Bijan Robinson.
Here is how one can comply with the motion in actual time, together with our prediction for the way Sunday’s sport will play out.
All NFL odds are through SportsLine Consensus.

Steelers vs. Falcons prediction
I feel the Steelers can win the sport in the event that they run the ball, defend the ball (which isn’t been one in all Fields’ strengths if he’s in for Wilson) and defend whomever is in at quarterback. Cousins and Co. will make some performs, however the Steelers protection ought to have the ability to decrease these performs so long as the offense does not put them in unhealthy spots.
Projected rating: Steelers 16, Falcons 13 The choose: Steelers +3.5

Burkhardt joked throughout throughout one other on-screen look that he paid additional consideration to his hair as a result of he knew there could be extra photographs of the printed sales space.
“I do what they inform me. I perceive that,” Brady mentioned with a chuckle. “I’m nonetheless a rookie in right here.”
To the viewers, that was apparent.
Brady’s commentary was educated, as anticipated, but additionally missing in persona — no Tony Romo anticipating the subsequent play, no John Madden along with his “Increase!” and turducken, not even the quarter-zip sweaters that make Peyton Manning stand out from the handfuls or tons of of different ex-jocks who joined the media when their enjoying careers have been over.
There have been awkward laughs, a cringey fist-bump with guidelines analyst Mike Pereira, and a number of calling gamers by their first names (together with an unnecessarily deferential reference to “Coach McCarthy”). Brady declined to name out Cleveland receiver Amari Cooper when a move went via his palms within the fourth quarter and made excuses for the Browns whereas looking for positives in a dreadful efficiency.
As one X consumer tweeted, “Tom Brady is to broadcasting as Michael Jordan is to baseball.”
(After all Brady, a sixth-round draft choose who spent his first NFL season because the Patriots fourth-string quarterback, managed to develop into the quarterbacking factor simply positive.)
It didn’t assist that the sport, which Dallas led 27-3 early within the second half, was headed towards a blowout that might problem even a veteran broadcaster to carry the viewers’s curiosity. However that’s the place Brady was capable of deploy his expertise as an asset.
“There’s loads of time left on this sport,” mentioned the quarterback who famously led the Patriots again from a 28-3 deficit in Tremendous Bowl 51 in opposition to Atlanta. “Simply the margin of error’s slim.”
On one play, Brady known as for Deshaun Watson to throw it to an open tight finish; the Browns quarterback didn’t see it.
Brady performed 23 years within the NFL earlier than retiring after the 2022 season as essentially the most embellished participant in league historical past. He signed a 10-year cope with Fox Sports activities — changing the well-regarded Greg Olsen because the community’s lead analyst. Brady took final yr off, a spot that solely added to the anticipation over whether or not he may switch a few of his on-field data and expertise to the sales space.
A business a couple of minutes earlier than the kickoff featured Brady in his numerous soccer uniforms speaking to his present self, questioning why he didn’t simply take the estimated $450 million he earned in his enjoying profession and “lay on a seashore getting fats on pina coladas.”
“What they’re actually asking is why don’t you give up soccer?’ They don’t perceive that you simply reside and breathe for soccer. Since you’re Tom Freaking Brady,” a succession of helmeted Bradys say. “And our soccer journey isn’t even near completed.”
“Again to work,” the present Brady says.
With 5 Tremendous Bowl MVP awards in his seven victories within the NFL title sport — six for New England and one for Tampa Bay — Brady established himself as the best participant in league historical past. He retired with the profession information for wins and playoff wins, passing touchdowns and playoff passing touchdowns, and passing yards and playoff passing yards, amongst different bests.
And whereas he couldn’t utterly keep away from controversy in his profession — most notably in the course of the two-year Deflategate odyssey that led to a four-game suspension for dishonest — Brady hardly ever made information with something he mentioned.
Brady’s new profession has already seen a setback as a result of his concurrent try and buy a minority share within the Las Vegas Raiders means he received’t have the entry to workforce services, gamers and coaches that different broadcasters obtain. He additionally should abide by the league structure and bylaws that prohibit public criticism of officers and different golf equipment; he’s allowed to broadcast Raiders video games.
The much-anticipated debut stole a number of the consideration from the sport between the defending NFC East champion Cowboys, who signed quarterback Dak Prescott to a record-setting four-year, $240 million contract earlier Sunday, and a Browns workforce that isn’t anticipated to make the playoffs.
As the ultimate 30 seconds ticked off on the Cowboys’ 33-17 victory, Brady and Burkhardt mentioned their new partnership as a lot as the sport itself. Again within the studio, Michael Strahan picked Brady — not any of the gamers — because the day’s greatest winner, and Brady shared some knowledge he acquired from his fellow athlete-turned-TV persona: “You’re going to get up tomorrow, on Monday morning, you ain’t going to be sore.”
“That,” Brady mentioned, “I’m very completely happy about.”

Campbell thinks the Lions are a greater workforce too, which ought to make this a heck of a matchup tonight.
If there was an MVP award given out for coaching camp efficiency, third-year defensive lineman Aidan Hutchinson would have gained for the Lions hands-down. He was a beast all all through camp.
“Hutch has had an incredible offseason,” Glenn mentioned this week. “He had an incredible coaching camp, and now he is at that time that he must set his sights at being, if not being the most effective participant, defensively, on this league, to among the best gamers – which he’s, however now it is time to take a look at himself as the most effective participant.”
With a extra proficient secondary behind him and a few new operating mates alongside him upfront (most notably DJ Reader and Marcus Davenport), issues are in place for Hutchinson to have a monster season. His 101 complete pressures final season trailed solely Micah Parsons (103), however his 11.5 sacks had been tied for twelfth most. Rising his sack numbers might have a big effect on the protection. Final season throughout the league, offenses scored (TD or FG) when taking a sack on the drive solely 22.9 p.c of the time.
