Offense and Defense:
Browns offense had the ball for 37 minutes, to the Bengals 23. The Browns gained 440 yards, including rushing the ball for 172 yards, to the entire Bengals output of 229 with 36 on the ground. Chubb had over 100 yards and Brissett had a rating of 133.7 and was 17/22. Burrow's final line was not terrible (a final rating of 96 with the two late TDs), but the offensive line was overwhelmed by the Browns. Bengals sacked 5 times to the Browns being sacked twice. The inability to stop the run was so blatant that I suspect all Bengals fans lacked confidence we could stop the Browns on the 2-point try.
Special Teams: Bengals
1 FG attempt, missed
1 ball brought out of the endzone only to the 14 yard line.
3 of 4 punts terrible in terms of yardage or pinning the Browns back. One was 23 yards and one was 33 yards. Punts from near the 50 should have pinned the Browns back inside the 10, but none made it that far.
I agree that our offense was once again trash and our Special Teams continues to be terrible this year. I think our run defense actually played really well against the Browns though.
Chubb only had 101 yards on 23 carries (4.4) which is over a yard below his yearly average. We held the Brows, who have the #1 rush attack in the league to 3.9ypc on 44 rushes. That is fantastic.
Obviously our passing defense played poor but that's what happens when you're down one of your starting corners and then lose two more in the middle of the game, including your best.
