Bengals Run to 16-7 Win Over Browns to Go 6-0 in AFC North

The last time the Bengals played the Browns, they were taken to overtime. Sunday in Cincy, the fight was there again, but this time the Bengals made sure to put the Browns away before the end of four quarters, walking away with a 16-7 win.

The Bengals lost in Oakland last week and are looking to rebound tomorrow, but according to the Cincy Enquirer, may or may not be doing it without the services of RB Cedric Benson: Bengals running back Cedric Benson and defensive tackle Domata Peko said before Friday’s practice that they felt they’d be on the field [...]

And as luck would have it, they on Sunday would have to host the Cincinnati Bengals over at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum. The Bengals’ rushing attack was better than expected and their run defense stopped the Raiders, for [...]
