Cleveland Browns come up short of predictions, succumb to Cincinnati Bengals in 31-19 rout

There's no sugarcoating it, Cleveland Browns didn't do their job, at least based on projections, as Cincinnati Bengals cruised to a 31-19 victory. This one was decided before it really even started, as Cincinnati Bengals jumped out to a 14-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind stellar showings from Derrick Henry (8 points) and A.J. Brown (4). Joey Slye (2-2 FG, 56 long, 2-2 XP) and Keenan Allen (16 Rec, 145 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) led the way for Cleveland Browns in defeat. Cincinnati Bengals (5-6) will look to add to their success against New England Patriots, while Cleveland Browns (7-4) will try to get back on track against Denver Broncos.
