Live-Blogging: Cincinnati Bengals at Cleveland Browns 10/31/2022

Hello, and welcome to another edition of 'Live-Blogging Shish on Professional Football'. Tonight, it is a NFC North Showdown, between Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns. 

Just when the Bengals started to figure things out, Ja'Marr Chase goes down with a hip injury. So, now Joe Burrow and company are going to have to figure out how to defeat a Cleveland Browns team, who has defeated the Defending AFC Champions the last four games. 

For the Browns, they are looking to snap a 4-game losing streak. And they need to do it with Nick Chubb and Jacoby Brissett and Cleveland's Offense.

It is Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns, coming up shortly.

Final Thoughts:
Browns played more like a defending conference champion, then a team who lost 4 straight games. They dominated their in-state rivals on all sides of the ball. 

For the Bengals, they looked like a one-dimensional offense who cannot protect the quarterback again. 

This game was decided in the 2nd Quarter, when Nick Chubb scored on a 3-yard TD run off the Wildcat Formation. 

Cincinnati will head back to the other side of Ohio, to host Carolina Panthers on Sunday. While Browns get a bye Next Week, then travel to South Florida to face Miami Dolphins on Sunday November 13th, 2022.
