Game week is finally here! The national headlines surrounding the Carolina Panthers and Cleveland Browns matchup will center around Baker Mayfield and whether he can get some payback for how his tenure in Cleveland ended. Julian Council explains why there's more on the line for Baker beginning Week 1 than revenge.

While Baker vs. Cleveland will be a focus all week there are another storyline Panthers fans should be more concerned with. The Panthers defenses ability to stop the run. Can the Panthers defense go from "good to great" starting this week against the Browns rushing attack?

Jacoby Brissett will get the start in place of the suspended Deshaun Watson on Sunday afternoon for Cleveland. Does this make the matchup a can't lose opportunity for the Panthers?
