Prescott, Cowboys vs. Browns Scheduled for NFL Week 1; Tom Brady to Make Fox Debut

Tom Brady, America's Team and two of the best pass-rushers in football.

It's all on the menu for Fox in Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season.

The NFL revealed the Dallas Cowboys will take on the Cleveland Browns in Week 1 of the upcoming campaign, while Michael Strahan helped announce that the game will be Brady's first assignment in his analyst role for Fox Sports:

"Obviously, having the Cowboys on is a huge draw as America's Team," Brady said. "That's going to get a little hard for me to say that all the time. They were the competition for a long time. In this new role, I know the Cowboys and how important they are to this network.

"They've got great storylines. Dak Prescott, let's see if he can finally break through."

The Prescott comment drew a reaction from the crowd, prompting Brady to ask, "did that just slip out?"

There may be some jabs here and there from Brady as he adjusts to his analyst role and calling games against quarterbacks who he went up against for so long. If the Prescott quip was an indication of what is to come, he will be appointment viewing.

But this game stands out for more than just the announcer, as Micah Parsons and Myles Garrett will each share the same field and make life particularly difficult for Prescott and Deshaun Watson.

Garrett took home the Defensive Player of the Year last season with 42 tackles, 14 sacks, four forced fumbles, three passes defended and one fumble recovery, while Parsons finished third in the voting with 64 tackles, 14 sacks, two passes defended, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

Dallas is coming off its third straight playoff appearance and second NFC East crown in three years, while Cleveland made the playoffs last season for just the second time since the 2002 campaign.

Both teams figure to be among the playoff contenders in their respective conferences in 2024, and picking up a high-profile win in Week 1 of the season would be an ideal way to start.
