The first week of the 2023 NFL preseason continued Friday night, with the Cincinnati Bengals hosting the Green Bay Packers, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Detroit Lions hosting the New York Giants, the Miami Dolphins hosting the Atlanta Falcons and the Cleveland Browns hosting the Washington Commanders.
Several of Friday's matchups gave glimpses of quarterback battles, including Baker Mayfield showing signs of progress for the Bucs and Jake Browning emerging as the possible No.
2 to Joe Burrow. On Thursday, the New England Patriots hosting the Houston Texans and the Seattle Seahawks welcoming the Minnesota Vikings.
No. 2 overall pick C.J. Stroud got his first NFL reps in a start for the Texans, going 2-for-4 for 13 total yards and an interception before coach DeMeco Ryans turned to incumbent starter Davis Mills.
