Ja’Marr Chase, fresh off of a hip injury, came back like he never left tallying seven receptions for 97 yards. Samaje Perine, who started in place of running back Joe Mixon who was out due to a concussion, had a monster game, rushing for 106 yards on 21 carries, while recording six receptions for 49 yards.

The Browns defense had Clevelands only touchdowns of the game, as the defense scored one on an interception, one on a fumble recovery, and on special teams. The offense failed to score any points until the fourth quarter, where they were able to get two field goals.

With the home field advantage and offensive weapons, this is the Bengals’ game to lose. With Raven’s QB Lamar Jackson is out for the next few weeks, the Bengals need to win these games if they want the best chance at winning the division. As long as they play like they did last week against the Chiefs, the Bengals have an easy chance at a victory.
