Bengals vs. Browns live stream isabout to begin, and it's a showdown between two fierce AFC North rivals in the battle of Ohio State. It's also a duel between two quarterbacks in very different situations, although both have something to prove in this NFL live stream.

Week 1 usually has a handful of great NFL rivalry games -- and this week, the Bengals vs. Browns live stream may be the best. This AFC North rivalry game is one of two games a year that not only determines the best NFL team in Ohio, but who could win the division title in one of the toughest NFL divisions. The winner of this game could be listed as the favorite to win the Super Bowl.

Of course, the Cincinnati Bengals should already be considered a favorite to win the Super Bowl. In the championship game just two years ago, they lost to the Los Angeles Rams by a single field goal. And in last year's AFC Championship, they were only three points behind the eventual Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs. [If expectations weren't already high enough for the team that won the AFC North the past two years in a row, they just got even higher. This week, star quarterback Joe Burrow signed a massive five-year, $275 million contract extension ($219 million guaranteed). He is now officially the highest-paid player in NFL history.

Barrow was one of the players who made the jump. He is Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson. Watson has been a Pro Bowl player for most of his NFL career, but missed the entire 2021 NFL season. Watson was then suspended for the first 11 games of the 2022 NFL season and missed additional games after the NFL determined that Watson committed multiple violations of the NFL's personal conduct rules. These violations were related to a series of sexual harassment and assault allegations while playing quarterback for the Houston Texans.

Therefore, it was not surprising that Watson had some rust in his debut with the Browns in Week 13 against his former team. However, the rust never completely disappeared, and the Browns finished in last place in the AFC North with a 3-3 record and a 7-10 record with Watson under center.

Will Watson finally shake off that rust this week against the Bengals? Or will Burrow prove worthy of his huge contract, as DraftKings has the Bengals favored by a slim two-point margin, with the over/under at 47.
