Browns fall to 0-13, lose 23-10 to Bengals

With the score, Cincinnati then led 20-7. The Bengals are 18-24 as the road club.

Four sacks for the Browns was encouraging, especially any time Emmanuel Ogbah is involved in the equation.

The Browns took another step toward a winless season by losing at home to the Cincinnati Bengals, 23-10, for defeat No. 13. He had a hard time connecting with Robert Griffin III including on one play where Griffin III mistimed his throw and struck Barnidge right in the shoulder. “We still have three more games left”.

Four days a week, members of the media sit in a room at Browns headquarters in Berea, listening to head coach Hue Jackson.

“That doesn’t change just because they name you the starter or just because you’re playing”. The Browns’ play is becoming laughable and yet we wait to see what and who is screwing up next.

Griffin returned to practice November 23 and said he has proved to himself he’s mentally prepared to control the offense. A loss to Cleveland – Cincinnati won the October 23 matchup, 31-17 -and a win by Pittsburgh on Sunday or Baltimore on Monday night would eliminate the Bengals, and extend their streak of not winning a playoff game to 26 seasons. They had time to work on the many mistakes and miss communication during their travesty of a season! Jeremy Hill dominated the ground game with 25 carries for 111 yards and 1 touchdown.

Cleveland has been unable to find a franchise quarterback for more than a decade and is giving the 26-year-old Griffin a chance to revive his career. Have thoughts on how the Browns and Bengals are performing? There’s no A.J. Green to contend with so, depending on matchups, the veteran Haden will get LaFell or one of the Bengals’ young receivers. Lewis said Driskel has also practiced as a receiver and as a special teams player and could have been used in those roles on Sunday if needed. He was a main reason Isaiah Crowell rushed for 113 yards.

Cleveland began the second half with an ugly drive, but Cincinnati had to punt on their first drive too. Due to the current restrictions in place, National Football League games broadcast on CBS are NOT shown on CBS All Access, CBS’s streaming platform.

Browns OG Jonathan Cooper.

Cincinnati Bengals outside linebacker Vontaze Burfict (55) celebrates a tackle in the first half of an NFL football game against the Cleveland Browns, Sunday, Dec. 11, 2016, in Cleveland.

“I paused (in case it was a run)”, Iolka said. “We scored on that drive so it all worked out”.

Cooper is starting because John Greco is out for the rest of the season with a foot injury. “When you don’t play a game for three months and come back, you can be a little bit rusty”.

If not now, when? It was the worst start for any Browns quarterback this season. But it won’t be easy.
