Cameras followed the Cleveland Browns all preseason, but the storylines don’t stop when the regular season begins. Here are three things to watch in Week 1.

It’s nearly time to kick off the 2018 NFL Season and fans of the Cleveland Browns have plenty of reasons to feel optimistic about their team. There’s been more than a 50 percent turnover on the roster from their winless season, which lends credence to that hope.

Fans also likely feel closer to this team than they have in recent years. That’s because there’s been several behind the scenes style documentaries with the most popular being the HBO series ‘Hard Knocks.’

That show took us inside the building as Cleveland built their roster and players fought for a spot in preseason games. Now that the games that count are starting, the cameras have all faded away and the inside looks won’t be as readily available.

However, the storylines continue on. The story of the 2018 NFL Season didn’t end after ‘Hard Knocks,’ nor did it end when general manager John Dorsey filled out their 53-man roster. Instead, the stories really just begin now.

With the Steelers coming to FirstEnergy Stadium this week, here are the three biggest storylines to watch unfold on Sunday for the Cleveland Browns.
