Clobbering a rival isn’t enough.

The Browns have been outscored, 98-13, by the Bengals in the last three Battles of Ohio.
Manziel is 1-2 in three starts this season, collecting 933 yards, five scores, two interceptions and an 88.4 rating.
The full list of Bengals receivers who had a catch in order of their total yards is: Green, Jones, Kroft, Alford, Giovani Bernard, Ryan Hewitt, Rex Burkhead and Uzomah.
“It’s a new year”, said the quarterback, who notched his 50th career win.
Via Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Hartline was asked if all of his teammates were playing hard until the end of the embarrassing loss. On the other hand, Sunday just happens to be the quarterback’s 23rd birthday – we all should probably wait to see how that shakes out.
Today’s Miami Dolphins vs Baltimore Ravens NFL football game has a start time schedule of 1:00pm eastern time and airs on TV channel CBS in some markets along with DirecTV Sunday Ticket nationwide.
Thomas added that he’ll approach the rest of this season the same as he would if the Browns were 10-2 and not 2-10.
“That’s what we needed”, Marvin Lewis said after the game.
At the end of a dismal first half, the Browns ensured they wouldn’t be shut out. Davis put together a 230-yard, one interception performance against a Bengals team that, with the victory, sewed up the top seed in the AFC. Punch out. Green had five catches for 128 yards for his third 100-yard game of the season.
Worse yet, it took him until Week 12 (the Bengals last game in November) to have a game with at least 50 rushing yards and more than four yards per carry.
The locker room emptied out so quickly after this latest humiliation it was as though someone yelled “Fire!” – a real fire, not fire Coach Mike Pettine and General Manager Ray Farmer. Frankly, there is a lot of football left to be played.
As he made his way out of FirstEnergy Stadium, Pettine signed autographs and shared a few hugs with friends before climbing into the passenger seat of a pickup truck to be driven home.
“It’s tough, it’s frustrating”, said Pettine.
Following a two-game benching, Johnny Manziel is the starting quarterback once again.
Also leaving the game with injuries and not returning were fullback Malcolm Johnson (groin), wide receiver Travis Benjamin (shoulder) and wide receiver Marlon Moore (ribs). Pettine said he’d wait before deciding who will play against the 49ers.

A Browns spokesman said he didn’t know yet if that was the case. “We will find out the character of our teammates moving forward”.
Nine plays later, Dalton ran a quarterback sneak from the 3 for a 7-0 lead. Dalton went deep to Green for 22-yards on the first play from the Cincinnati 46-yard line.
