Mid-third quarter update: Browns 35, Bengals 14

Jeff Driskel launched his first career touchdown pass, hitting Tyler Boyd for 28 yards to bring the score to 35-14.

Injury Update: Tony McRae, who was pulled off the field on a stretcher, is injured by a concussion.

Mid-third quarter update: Browns 35, Bengals 7

The hits keep coming.

Andy Dalton left the game in the third quarter and headed to the locker room with a thumb injury.

The injury apparently occurred when Dalton tried to recover a breakaway caused by Billy Price snapping through his head. A few games later, the Browns scored again.

HALFTIME WRAP: Browns 28, Bengals 7

What went well? Joe Mixon has accumulated 32 yards to establish the only Bengal score in the half.

That's what did not go well: The Bengal defense was like, well, the defense of the Bengals. The Browns averaged 7.4 yards per game and quarterback Baker Mayfield completed 17 of 22 passes for 245 yards and three touchdowns.

Have you noticedCedric Ogbuehi, second right striker, stepped in for the left-footing of the Bengal goal. Ogbuehi had only played one previous move this season.

Mid-second quarter update: Browns 28, Bengals 7

The Bengals saved the face by accessing the table.

Andy Dalton is now No. 2 on the Bengals' list of all-time touchdown players, after being connected with John Ross for a 2-yard score.

Of the 13 catches of Ross this season, five were touchdowns.

Although he did not get the score, Joe Mixon feels the entire Bengal offensive is now 31 yards rushing and 34 yards. He had a hard time defining a touchdown that could have been stopped without gain if it was not for a quick side step and disappeared across the line.

Mid-second quarter update: Browns 28, Bengals 0

Yes, you already know it. The Browns have scored again.

The Browns finally have what appears to be a franchise quarterback. Baker Mayfield is up to the hype. He is 17 out of 21 for 245 yards and three touchdowns.

Mid-second quarter update: Browns 21, Bengals 0

Welp.

Go rake the leaves. Finish off the remaining beer leftovers from Thanksgiving. No matter what.

It's over.

The Browns score again, this time on a 9-game, 96-yard run that lasted 5:47. Baker Mayfield is 14 out of 18 for 203 yards and two touchdowns.

The Bengal defense is still looking for a stop on the third try.

FIRST QUARTER ENTRY: Browns 14, Bengals 0

What went well? Nothing. The Bengals attack had a blocked drive and a three-and-outside. The defense gave two touchdowns. And the special teams had a blocked field placement and two penalties on a kick return.

That's what did not go well: See above.

Have you noticedBaker Mayfield and Tyrod Taylor met Hue Jackson, the former Browns coach sacked last month and Bengals' special assistant before the kickoff.

Mid-first quarter update: Browns 14, Bengals 0

Here's what you missed: The Bengals offense had an attack that, despite being successful on the fourth and one goal, stalled and led to a blocked placement by Randy Bullock.

Then the Browns drove easily to the field and scored again. Baker Mayfield completed nine of his first ten passes for 122 yards and one touchdown.

It is close to becoming a garbage dumpster.

Mid-first quarter update: Browns 7, Bengals 0

Here's a shocking first article at stake: The Browns scored at the first drive of the game. This is the third time in four games that the Bengals defense waives a touchdown in the first possession of the match by the team. ;opponent.

We thought Nick Chubb would come off today. But aside from the one-meter touchdown, the Browns have not moved much on the pitch. Instead, Baker Mayfield was 6 years old for 6 assists and 71 yards. It's 11.8 yards per attempt. Not good, Bengals. Not good.

*** ***

Two of the three Cincinnati Bengals mentioned as dubious Friday were demoted at least 24 hours before the kickoff against the Cleveland Browns.

ONE J. Green and Dr. Kirkpatrick will not play Sunday.

Cordy Glenn – the third questionable player – will not be able to go either. The offensive tackle (back) did not participate in the trials on Wednesday and Friday and was limited on Thursday.

Glenn is one of two Bengals (right tackle Bobby Hart) to take 100% offseason this season.

Jake Fisher will start in Glenn's place.
