At 21 years and 250 days, Kizer tied Buccaneers Jameis Winston (2015) as the third-youngest quarterback to start an NFL season opener since 1963, trailing Drew Bledsoe (1993) and Matthew Stafford (2009).

Kizer completed 20 of 30 passes for 222 yards with one touchdown and one rushing touchdown. Kizer's .667 completion percentage was the second-highest of the nine rookies to start at quarterback for the Browns since 1999. He is also the first Browns rookie to throw a touchdown pass in his debut start since Colt McCoy in 2010.
