What happened: The Carolina Panthers travel to Cleveland on Sunday to face the Browns. The visiting offense aims to build on a strong early-season start by pushing the ball downfield behind quarterback Bryce Young.

Why it matters: Carolina has found unexpected success with deep passing concepts, heavily targeting Jalen Coker, Xavier Legette and Tetairoa Mcmillan. Cleveland will counter by leaning on Deshaun Watson to stabilize a unit that has struggled to establish its rushing attack.

By the numbers: Denzel Boston has recorded seven receptions for 154 yards and two touchdowns through two games for Cleveland, while Kc Concepcion has added 10 catches for 71 yards.

What to watch: Carolina's receiving corps will test a Browns secondary that surrendered a strong passing performance to Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears in the season opener.
