Filed under: Bengals, Browns, AFC North
In September, the Browns (5-8) were expected to play the spoiler role for the month of December against the AFC North, starting with the Bengals (2-11) who were expected to make a serious race to the playoffs. Super Bowl hopes weren't totally out of the question after the acquisition of wide receiver Terrell Owens, the two rookie pass catchers in Jordan Shipley and Jermaine Gresham and a solid defense.Thanks to Cincy's many poor outings this season, the Browns will have to wait for next week to spoil some playoffs plans.
Other than stats and bonuses, the month of December simply serves as the preseason for both teams. The Bengals have nothing to play for, while the Browns are looking to finish their 2010 campaign with a winning record at 8-8.
Cincinnati leads the all-time series against Cleveland at 38-36 and when they last met on Oct. 3, Browns running back Peyton Hillis pounded the Bengals on the ground as he finished with 102 yards off 27 carries and touchdown in a 23-20 victory -- despite Owens' Bengals coming out party and record-setting day with 10 catches for 222 yards (which moved him into second-place on the NFL's all-time receiving yards list behind Hall of Fame receiver Jerry Rice).
