Keep your eye out for my more Cleveland Browns analysis tomorrow from 11 am- 1:00 pm on The Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show. in the upcoming season!Joe Burrow finally figured out how to win the Battle of Ohio. With their 23-10 victory over the Browns, the Bengals effectively snuffed out the Browns flickering playoff hopes -- although at 5-8, they haven’t been mathematically eliminated yet. The Bengals, in winning their fifth straight game, improved to 9-4 and snapped a five-game losing streak to the Browns. They had also lost eight of their last nine to the Browns, and Burrow couldn’t get the Browns’ monkey off his back.He’s 3-0 against the Chiefs but couldn’t get past Myles Garrett and Browns. That all changed on Sunday, despite the fact Burrow was without three of his top weapons in tight end Hayden Hurst, Tee Higgins (hamstring) and Tyler Boyd (finger). But Ja’Marr Chase, who sat out the 32-13 Browns victory on Halloween night, caught 10 of 15 targets for 119 yards and a touchdown.Burrow went 18 of 33 for 239 yards with 2 TDs and 1 INT for an 85.3 rating.Deshaun Watson, in only his second game back after 700 days off, went 26 of 42 for 276 yards with 1 TD and 1 INT for a 79.1 rating. Nick Chubb rushed 14 times for only 34 yards. The Browns next opponent, the Ravens, beat the Steelers to improve to 9-4 and maintain their edge in the AFC North, but Lamar Jackson (knee) might still rest next Saturday.Trailing 23-10, Watson was intercepted by safety Jessie Bates III on a pass intended for Donovan Peoples-Jones with 13:39 left in the game and the Bengals in field goal territory. But after they moved to the Browns 31, the Browns got an interception of their own keep themselves in the game. Jadeveon Clowney tipped the pass and Deion Jones picked it off. Unfortunately for the Browns, they were unable to cash in on the opportunity. They marched to the Bengals’ 6, but Watson threw three straight incompletions, including one to Amari Cooper out of the back of the end zone, and one to Donovan Peoples-Jones at the left corner when Cam Taylor-Britt broke up the pass.The Bengals extended their lead to 20-3 on a flea-flicker that caught the Browns defense off guard. Burrow handed the ball to Joe Mixon, who flipped it back to Burrow, who found receiver Trenton Irwin wide open over the middle of the field for a 45-yard touchdown. Safeties Grant Delpit and most other Browns bit on the run, and Irwin had no defender within 15 yards of him. But the Browns answered the flea flicker with a touchdown of their own — a 13-yarder by David Njoku, who dove for the pylon. The drive ended with three straight completions to Njoku, who had missed three of the last four games with injuries. It marked Watson’s first touchdown pass. Learn more about your ad choices.
