Cleveland Browns vs. Cincinnati Bengals (Week 12)

(0-11)
(5-6)











VS
Oh look, a team the Browns could conceivably beat. The Browns playoff pipe dream may have ended four or so weeks ago, but the proverbial Lombardi trophy for the Browns these past two seasons has been merely winning a game. The Bengals, while still in the playoff hunt, are mere shadows of what they used to be. This was a must-win for the Browns.

GAME RECAP: Bengals 30 Browns 16
And they lost anyway... Jim Gaffigan...er, Andy Dalton... struggled early, but the lackluster running game of the Bengals had their way with the Browns front tackles. Dalton may have put two TD's on the board, but the running game is ultimately what got him there in the first place. Do I even need to talk about the Browns? DeShone Kizer left early due to a possible concussion, but thankfully came back in. He may not have thrown any picks, but Kizer still needs more experience. His running TD was great, sure, but the Browns are in desperate need of a passing game. The Bengals may have waltzed away with a win, but this is the Browns we're talking about. The Bengals have at least 3 very difficult games ahead, but they picked up the necessary win today.
