The Cleveland Browns have extended their lead over the Cincinnati Bengals heading into the locker rooms for halftime of this Week 1 matchup. After new kicker Dustin Hopkins drilled a kick to give the Browns a 3-0 lead over the defending AFC North champs, quarterback Deshaun Watson has now tucked the football and scored himself to give the Browns a 10-0 lead.
He was sprung free by great blocks from left tackle Jedrick Wills and right guard Wyatt Teller on the quarterback counter.
