The Cleveland Browns head south to take on division rival Cincinnati Bengals. Here is how you can watch or listen to today’s game.

We are just a few weeks shy of the two-year anniversary of the Cleveland Browns embarrassing the Cincinnati Bengals in a prime-time game.

When Cleveland walked off the field at Paul Brown stadium on that November night, they were riding high and in possession of a 6-3 record and were challenging for the AFC North lead.

Since then the Browns have lost 25 of their last 29 games, including three in a row to the Bengals, a trio of games where the Browns were outscored 98-13 by their downstate rivals.

Cleveland returns to the scene of their last great triumph this afternoon for the first of two Ohio derbies this season. The Browns are the NFL’s lone team without a win, while the Bengals have stumbled their way to a 2-4 start.

It will also mark the first game for head coach Hue Jackson against the team he spent four seasons with as an assistant coach.

“It is called a football game,” Jackson said this week. “We are 0-6. Trust me, I’m trying to win a game. This is not about personal friendships, relationships or any of that. This is about trying to win a football game. We are trying to be the best we can be. Our guys are working their tails off to get prepared for a big game this week.”
