The Cincinnati Bengals wiped the floor with the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.
Did anyone even consider maybe, perhaps, possibly giving the Browns a chance against the Bengals on Sunday? No? No. Okay.
At what point do Bengals fans just stop going to games? Yeah yeah yeah, I get that they’re a loyal bunch and they have to prove their fealty after getting a team back in 1999, but good God this is painful. The team drafts poorly, and every season looks like a version of Groundhog Day. Quarterback plays. Quarterback sucks or is benched. Next one comes in, rinse-wash-repeat. Blech. At least they have the Muni Lot.
Let the trolling begin.

Highlights
Are a catch and throw both allowed to be perfect?

Sammy Watkins and Tyrod Taylor would say yes after this 53-yarder. https://t.co/auafZe4Gcz

If you aren't going to cover A.J. Green, he will score touchdowns. #CINvsCLE https://t.co/34TkdisPwV
Three Stars
1. AJ Green
Green continues to prove that he’s one of, if not THE top wide receiver in the National Football League. This week’s line: 5 rec, 128 yards, 1 TD
2. Andy Dalton
He came, he saw, he efficiently picked apart the Browns. A line of 14/19, 220 yards, 2 TDs and no interceptions doesn’t light the world on fire, but it’s damn efficient.
3. Reggie Nelson
Reggie Nelson was quite the stat-stuffer for the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday – 5 tackles (5 solo), 1 tackle for a loss, 1 interception.
Odds
Cincinnati was favored by 7.5 and covered three times over.
Next Week
The Bengals will have a battle for, essentially, the division next week against the Pittsburgh Steelers, while the Browns look to see if they can beat the San Francisco 49ers.
