What happened: Todd Monken said he evaluated the full quarterback competition between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders. He concluded Watson gives Cleveland its best chance to score points, particularly on the road to open the season.

Why it matters: Monken's emphasis on road scoring puts immediate weight on Watson's performance away from Cleveland. The decision also ends Sanders' bid for the opening assignment.

What to watch: Watson's production in the road opener will provide the first test of Monken's choice.
