The NFL season is just about here, and it kicks off Thursday with an NFC East showdown between the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles. When the Cleveland Browns open their season, they’ll be in a divisional battle of their own against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Joe Flacco returns for a second stint with the Browns, squaring off against Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow—who has struggled at times against Cleveland. Burrow holds a 3-5 career record against the Browns. While his numbers have often been solid, wins have been harder to come by.

Expectations are different for these two AFC North rivals. Few around the league see the Browns as a legitimate playoff contender, while anything short of another postseason berth would be considered a disappointment for the Bengals. With kickoff just days away, here’s everything you need to know about how to watch, listen, and stream.
