The loser of that game would be eliminated and if the Browns had won that game they would go full force week 18 against us at their place. Fortunately, the Steelers won and eliminated the Browns and we played our scrubs and it was like a unofficial bye week for us before we had the historic run in the playoffs.

People could not get their heads out of their ass that the Bengals don't match up well with the Browns and that has been going on for years. 
The hatred for the Steelers is with me as well, but the love of the Bengals trumps the hatred of the Steelers and if getting an unofficial bye is because of a Steeler win, I will take that all day long.

The Bengals should have no problem beating the Browns, TBH.
The Browns have a good OL, running game, and edge rushers, but they shouldn't have issues covering someone like Donovan Peoples-Jones.
Njoku was out.
Ward was out.
Their LBs and the rest of that secondary aren't really that good either.

Bengals should have been able to pass on them without difficulties, and they should have enough quality coverage guys to double Cooper and single-cover the rest.
