Cleveland Browns: Studs and duds from Week 12 win vs. Bengals
By Randy Gurzi
The Cleveland Browns were all over the Cincinnati Bengals and won their second game in a row by a score of 35-20. Here were the studs and duds from Week 12.
It was a reunion of sorts as the Cleveland Browns saw a familiar face in Cincinnati Bengals new special assistant head coach Hue Jackson. As we all know, Jackson had one of the worst tenures in NFL history for the Browns and was fired just a few short weeks ago.
With him gone, the entire Browns team looks vastly improved. They also managed to win their second game in three tries without Jackson and former offensive coordinator Todd Haley.
The 35-20 win also ended their 25-game road losing streak, which was one game shy of the NFL record for the most losses in a row on the road.
Here we look back at the big game and pick our studs and duds from the win. It wasn’t easy finding any duds, and we even had to add a couple of extra studs as the Browns walked away with a complete victory that the entire team should be proud of.
Honorable mention: Gregg Williams
Moving to 2-1 as the interim coach of the Browns, it’s becoming apparent that this team has responded incredibly well to the way Williams coaches them. He’s managed as many wins in the past three games as his predecessor did in his first two seasons.
Williams may not get the full-time head coaching gig, but he’s done enough to make sure he’s in consideration for the job. And it wouldn’t be a shock to see him start earning more favor in that regard if they keep playing like this.
