Latest from the NFL: Dalton hits 3K passing yards for season
The Browns took on the Ravens on Monday night and lost in one of the “Brown-iest” ways anyone could ever imagine. Geez, these guys can’t catch a break. The Browns appeared to be totally confused before the snap because the Bengals had four receivers line up on the left side of the formation.
“It’s tough, it’s frustrating”, said Pettine. The former Aggie managed a touchdown toss to Duke Johnson Jr. but overall failed to sparkle under the national TV lights. He dropped a third-down pass in this one and finished second on the team with five catches on eight targets for 58 yards.
Per Adam Schefter, Eifert will not play against the divisional rivals, and he will be a major loss for Andy Dalton in an electric passing attack. Dalton threw three touchdown passes and easily led his home club to an intra-state victory.
This season, the Bengals are winning everything.
Interestingly, Dalton and Manning tend to get some of the same criticism, in that they put up great stats during the year and then struggle in big games and the playoffs.
STINGY D: The Bengals’ defense ranks only 15th in yards allowed, but they’ve given up the fewest points in the league at 193.
Nugent’s 16th field goal of the year capped off a six-play, 34-yard drive that started with another defensive stand on a fourth-down attempt from the Browns. From Farmer on down, it’s not just a roster issue. Who wins this battle in the trenches will impact Sunday’s outcome. “I’m pretty excited”, Danneman says. On top of reacquainting himself with the playbook as a receiver, Pryor doubles as a third-string quarterback/insurance policy. Davis couldn’t find anyone open and threw incomplete with 10:07 left in the second quarter. The Bengals had a chance to wrap up a playoff berth early and stated their case, with a 37-3 smashing of the Browns.
Davis does have some offensive weapons. “We are excited he is going to be playing for us this week”.
As cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick told his teammates after Sunday’s 31-7 win over the, “Remember how you felt today”.
It was their most-lopsided loss in the 85 meetings with Cincinnati. The Bengals are now leading the series between these teams, 45-39.
Poor tackling, poor coverage and penalties helped account for one of the worst performances by the Browns secondary this season.
NO LEAPING: Running back Jeremy Hill tried to jump into the Dawg Pound after scoring a touchdown during Cincinnati’s 30-0 win in Manziel’s debut last season, but fans shoved him out.
Davis was the Browns’ 24th starting quarterback since 1999, and he suffered the same fate as so many before him. Hired as the coach and general manager, he led the team until 1975.
Dalton and company were able to do whatever they wanted on offense.
Minnesota Vikings over Seattle Seahawks: Seahawks have been up and down all season, hence I’ll take the Vikes in a statement game. It’s time for the fans, and the Browns, to see what Manziel is all about.
