34-10 was the final as Jacksonville scored on six of its first seven possessions, turning a 24-0 halftime lead into a lopsided season-opening win.
Trevor Lawrence fueled it with 245 yards, four touchdown passes and a career-best 150.6 rating, hitting Parker Washington, rookie Josh Cameron, Brenton Strange and Jakobi Meyers.
Cleveland unraveled in Todd Monken's debut: Deshaun Watson threw an opening-drive interception in his first start in nearly two years, the Browns went 1-for-8 on third down and committed 11 penalties for 75 yards.
272 total yards and no touchdowns on two red-zone trips left the Browns chasing highlights instead of the game, with only a 74-yard kickoff return setting up a field goal before a late 46-yard Watson-to-Denzel Boston score.
The result reinforces Jacksonville's postseason expectations after last year's AFC South title, while Cleveland's rebuilt roster already shows the strain of replacing traded star Myles Garrett.
