Recapping the Bengals Browns Monday night Halloween game

A battle of the AFC North with the Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns will be featured on Halloween or as known as Monday night football. This highly anticipated matchup will be a great game for the NFL and its fans as the Bengals look to improve and continue their win streak. The Browns look to save their season and win this very important game. With Bengals star receiver Ja’Marr Chase being out, this Bengals team will look to run the ball and set up play action with tee Higgins being a lead receiver in this game.

The first half was very low scoring but nonetheless both teams played great defense with each quarterback turning the ball over with an interception and both getting sacked, as the Browns offense has really struggled in the last month, this Bengals defense was primed to have a great day in forcing Cleveland into turnovers. This Bengals offense didn’t look the same without Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins really struggled in the first half. But the Browns did score with Nick Chubb running it in like per usual, You can’t say the same about the Bengals running game as they really struggled to get Joe Mixon going against Cleveland’s run defense.

Even though this game looked to be a blowout with Cleveland winning 32-13 this game wasn’t even that close, with the Bengals not scoring through the first three quarters they looked to score in garbage time down over three scores. Looking in the box score Joe Burrow played well but watching the game Burrow and this Bengals offense looked atrocious, with the run game really struggling with running back Joe Mixon only rushing for 27 yards and this Bengals run game didn’t have over 40 rushing yards total. 

This Cleveland team looked great, specifically the defense in what forced this explosive Bengals offense to really struggle and force Cincinnati’s defense to stay on the field for the majority of the game. Looking at the key factor why this Browns team won the game was the run game in which they played really well with Nick Chubb who had over 100 rushing yards and backup RB Kareem Hunt having 42 yards, this Cleveland run game is the best in the league.
