Cincinnati Bengals vs. Cleveland Browns: Live Cincinnati Score and Analysis

The Cincinnati Bengals can now look toward the future after a 30-0 triumph against the Cleveland Browns at FirstEnergy Stadium Sunday.

The lopsided result comes a few weeks after Cleveland went to Cincinnati and embarrassed the Bengals in front of a national audience. This time the Bengals spoiled the NFL debut of rookie quarterback Johnny Manziel on the way to a critical AFC North win.

Cincinnati had its way on the ground all day long thanks to the efforts of rookie back Jeremy Hill, who rushed for 148 yards and two scores. Complement Giovani Bernard added 79 yards of his own. Paul Guenther’s defense put on one of its best performances to date as well, posting two interceptions and three sacks with just 107 total yards surrendered.

As an answer to critics and themselves after a blowout loss the week prior, the Bengals are back on track in the AFC North with two games to go—against the Denver Broncos and Pittsburgh Steelers.

If Sunday’s road-performance in a must-win situation is any indication, the Bengals are ready for the tough road ahead.
