Back home after a blowout win in Cleveland, the Bengals got even more pleasing news. Last week with Davis at the helm, the Browns absorbed a 37-3 beating by the Bengals.

Manziel opened the season as the backup to Josh McCown, but started in Week 2 against Tennessee after McCown sustained a concussion in the opener against the Jets. The Steelers won it last season.
The Patriots lost to the Eagles, costing them their edge for the AFC’s top seed.
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.
I honestly could have given this ball to any player in a Bengals’ uniform as everyone had extraordinary games but AJ Green’s impact was just too important not to give notice too.
Denver has already beaten New England, giving the Broncos the head-to-head tiebreaker.
Regardless of who is under center next week against San Francisco, Davis plans on doing whatever he can to help end the Browns’ seven-game losing streak.
“If you’re going to be successful, your building has to be unified”, he said. “We’re here now. We have to keep our eye on the prize and the prize is winning our division first and hoping we play for a championship”.
They’re in an unaccustomed place. Currently, the Browns own the league’s worst record at 2-10, meaning they’re in position to earn the No. 1 overall pick in 2016. “There’s a not a championship yet, but that’s all he needs to be labelled one of the best who ever played”.
“This doesn’t happen all the time”, Jackson said.
Cincinnati went up 14-0 on Dalton’s strike to Green, who got behind Tramon Williams and hauled in the pass without a Cleveland defender in sight. “At the end of the day, you’re only as good as the final score”. That’s what we want to see. “You can never forget that”. The Bengals also had four 20-point wins in 1981 and 1970. All the guys that had to step into roles they weren’t familiar with or didn’t necessarily get the reps all week did a really good job, in my opinion. It was a great play for the rookie fifth round pick out of Auburn who was able to get into the game and play due to Eifert being out with a stinger. The first step is clinching the division.
“It’s a lot harder when you’re not having success, for sure”, Kruger said.
ONE GIANT LEAP: Hill hurtled himself into the arms of some Bengals fans after promising he wouldn’t perform the stunt a year after he was pushed back by Cleveland fans. The four time pro bowler had 5 catches for 128 yards and a touchdown as Browns’ cornerback Tramon Williams was completely overmatched. Kirksey then got into Hill’s face and drew a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for voicing his displeasure.

Prior to playing in two games in six days, Davis had not been in a regular-season contest in more than a year, but drew praise from his teammates for leading a game-tying touchdown drive in the waning minutes of play.
