Most previews treat Jacksonville as the clearly superior, more complete roster and expect them to move to 1-0 fairly comfortably.

There's a strong feeling that Cleveland's pass rush and defense take a real step back without their former star edge rusher, opening things up for Lawrence and the Jaguars skill players.

A lot of the Cleveland-side chatter isn't really about the Jaguars at all, it's doubt over whether their veteran quarterback is any good anymore or how long he'll hold the job.

Even among Jaguars-friendly voices there's a nagging worry that last year's magic was fragile, pointing to an unresolved running game and a thinner margin for error than the record suggested.
