Game: Cincinnati Bengals (6-8) at Cleveland Brown (6-7-1)

Summary: Once again, this one is personal. The Browns took their show on the road a few weeks ago and absolutely embarrassed the Cincinnati Bengals. Their former head coach, ‘He Hue Must Not Be Named’ was on the Cincy sidelines and it led to a lot of talk leading up to the game.

Cleveland wanted to show him up as safety Damarious Randall handed him a ball after picking off an Andy Dalton pass despite having room to run. Worse than that, the mean Cleveland quarterback, Baker Mayfield, didn’t even want to hug Hue! Unsurprisingly, that led to a lot of talking heads ripping Baker as he should have shown more respect for the guy who won four games in 40 tries and refused to let Mayfield compete for a starting job.

As for life after Hue (cue Kelly Clarkson’s ‘Since Hue Been Gone’) the Browns are doing just fine. They’re 4-2 (yes, the same amount of wins he had in 40 tries) and can still pull off a winning season. The first step to hitting that goal would be to send the Bengals back home with a loss. Not only would that help the Browns get closer to a winning record, but it would also guarantee the Bengals would be losers this season — as well as secure them as the last place AFC North team.

With injuries to Andy Dalton, A.J. Green, and now Tyler Boyd, this game could be pretty ugly for Cincinnati. The Browns should have no problem giving another loss to their in-state rival as we get ready for Baltimore to wrap up the season.

Final score: Cleveland 30, Cincinnati 10
