This weekend's Battle of Ohio rematch isn't just any other rematch.
Instead of facing quarterback Jacoby Brissett, the Cincinnati Bengals will face Deshaun Watson, who's coming off of his first game in 700 games. What isn't different, though, is the Browns still boast one of the league's most electric running backs in Nick Chubb. Chubb ran for over 100 yards the last time the Bengals faced him.
Lou Anarumo's defense is coming off of a performance that was able to keep Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes as efficient as he needed to be. However, he must face the challenge of learning what to expect from refreshed Watson on top of shutting down the Browns' receiving corps that features Amari Cooper.
What does the Bengals gameplan look like? How do they learn their lessons from a Week 8 loss that allowed the Browns to score 32 points?
The Strictly Stripes Crew debates and discuss the keys to limit Watson's impact and durability. Later in the show, Mohammad Ahmad is joined in a 1-on-1 segment with Browns Insider Mary Kay Cabot. They discuss why the Battle of Ohio has been lopsided lately and what to expect from Watson, Chubb, and even the return of Browns tight end David Njoku.
This podcast features Mohammad Ahmad, Andrew Gillis and Mary Kay Cabot.
