When the game was in balance, Burrow took a few downfield shots. Unlike in last week's game against the The way Cleveland's offense clicked with Hunt manning a significant role in the win over the Bengals should be enough to convince the Browns to ride out the rest of the season with him. Cincinnati (4-4) didn't just lose, it was pummeled in a loss that didn't feel nearly as close as the final score suggested. Describe the game in two words: Brutal showing.

For the first time since the Browns' Week 3 win over Pittsburgh, they finally took an opportunity to put a team away and capitalized. Dropped passes on important downs and small mistakes appeared throughout the first three quarters, and the loss of cornerback The discourse surrounding the Browns' four-game losing streak had been centered on two key points: disappointing defense and a lack of rushing attempts for Browns fans who do their homework will be happy to learn Chubb received 23 carries Monday night -- the point of demarcation between wins and losses for Cleveland has been 20 Chubb attempts -- and he made the most of them, gaining 101 yards and scoring two touchdowns. With an offense that currently can't run its way out of a wet paper bag, the pass-happy Bengals found the going to be difficult for most of the evening. After six weeks of defensive ineptitude, the Browns are starting to look like they did in the second half of the 2021 season. It may have come in just the nick of time for Woods to keep his job -- and potentially turn around Cleveland's season.

CLEVELAND _ While Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow couldn't get his high-flying offense untracked Monday night at First Energy Stadium, Browns quarterback ...

Mixon ran eight times for 27 yards and the Bengals could manage just 36 rushing yards on a night the backs ran nine times. Then on the second series Bell got his fifth pick in 10 games and is now one of this year's NFL leaders with four interceptions when the Browns tried to throw a pass on Amari Cooper's end-around. The first one he floated through a zone for 29 yards and on the second he lined up in the slot won a back-shoulder throw for 18 yards. But Garrett, who got a pressure earlier in the drive, got his hand up on the first play after that conversion and not that. Burrow got them inside the Browns 30 on the first series, thanks to a 26-yard wheel route on third-and-five to running back Chris Evans frying linebacker Deion Jones down the right sideline for his second catch of the season. And this was coming on a stretch he had turned it over once in the last six games.

With the trade deadline Tuesday, Browns running back Kareem Hunt has been involved in rumours for weeks. He signed a one-day contract to officially retire with Cleveland, which drafted him in the first round in 2010. The worst thing to do against the Cleveland Browns is to give them a two, three score lead with their running game and their pass rush.” It was Cleveland's second blowout of Cincinnati in the past two years. “They’ve had our number the last couple of years,” Burrow said. Burrow has already been to the Super Bowl in just three NFL seasons.

The Browns will be without linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah due to a knee injury, giving them four starters sidelined against the Bengals.

Harrison Bryant moves up to the No. Owusu-Koramoah is one of two defensive starters out against the Bengals. He was listed as questionable by the team on Saturday's game status report.

To rub salt on the wound, the Bengals' defense might be in peril after being dealt an untimely injury to cornerback Chidobe Awuzie.

In particular, Awuzie has only allowed 19 completed passes to his man out of 48 attempts, a suffocating 39.6 percent, which shows just how instrumental he has been in shutting down opposing star wideouts. While Awuzie hasn’t racked up gaudy interception totals, having tallied a career high two last season in 14 games during the Bengals’ 10-7 season, his loss is still a big deal for a team built on a stifling defense that’s allowed the fourth-least points through seven games. The Cincinnati Bengals, proud runner-up of Super Bowl LVI, have started the season solidly enough, having posted a 4-3 record as they entered their Monday night clash against the 2-5 Cleveland Browns.

CLEVELAND –– Heading into Monday night's game against the Cleveland Browns, the Cincinnati Bengals' biggest concern looked like it would be how they'd try ...

On the Browns’ opening drive of the second half, the Bengals defense didn’t have any answers. One week after Burrow totaled 501 yards in a win over the Atlanta Falcons, the Bengals offense carried none of that momentum over. But without Awuzie, the Bengals had two backup cornerbacks playing on the outside who needed more help from linebackers and safeties. On the first drive of the game, Burrow attempted a quick pass to wide receiver Tee Higgins on an RPO. The Bengals defense wasn’t much better. "We dug ourselves into a hole and couldn’t dig ourselves out of it," Higgins said. But Higgins wasn’t consistently winning one-on-one matchups on the outside until a garbage time touchdown in the 4th quarter. On the next two drives, the Bengals offense got off to slow starts with unproductive runs by Mixon. Even though Chase is out with a hip injury, it wasn’t supposed to be this difficult for the Bengals against an inconsistent Browns defense. [Star cornerback Chidobe Awuzie left the game on a cart](https://www.cincinnati.com/story/sports/nfl/bengals/2022/11/01/chidobe-awuzie-bengals-defensive-back-limps-off-field-in-cleveland-with-injury-carted-to-locker-room/69608485007/) with a knee injury in the second quarter. In an embarrassing first half, everything went wrong for the Bengals as Cleveland took an 11-0 lead into halftime. Wide receiver Mike Thomas, filling in for Chase, had a drop on what would have been a first down.

That was really the start of a long day for us." The last play, a third-and-six, was a sack by linebacker Deion Jones looping around Garrett on the left edge … The Browns were terrific tackling, particularly on Burrow's checkdowns to running backs Joe Mixon and Samaje Perine. "Two rookie corners on the outside in this kind of game," said slot cornerback Mike Hilton. Then late in the third quarter Awuzie's backup, Tre Flowers, limped off the field with a hamstring injury and he was still limping in the locker room an hour later. To see a guy like that hit like that, it's tough."

Cooper had the bad pick on the second possession. Cade York's night didn't get off to the best of starts when Hill swept in and blocked his 53-yard try on the Browns' first drive. McPherson pushed a 47-yard field goal wide right with 40 seconds left in the first half, and then shanked a PAT. Whether they were together or separate, the two backs certainly had themselves a night on national television, and it started in the first half. Hill came off the left edge untouched on the Browns' first drive. His present as of Monday night, through, was spending a lot of time on the field, including time together with Chubb.

From defensive depth to the offensive line, several questions have arisen from a Monday night beatdown at the hands of the Browns.

Meanwhile, [Josh Allen](https://theathletic.com/nfl/player/josh-allen-u9Ir75uJrUbmuoqn/), [Patrick Mahomes](https://theathletic.com/nfl/player/patrick-mahomes-WWwiw0IQD5ozgrHf/), Jackson and [Tom Brady](https://theathletic.com/nfl/player/tom-brady-d0I2fPFxqMjAsfgz/) await after the calendar flips to December. It’s who the Bengals are, a team that shows up looking unprepared and unable to find a consistent early rhythm. Then there’s [Baltimore](https://theathletic.com/nfl/team/ravens/) with the easiest schedule in football left on its slate and a one-game lead. The Bengals instead are scuffling through a disaster like Monday that wasn’t just about one bad night. And the other consideration of that nod, [Trey Hendrickson](https://theathletic.com/nfl/player/trey-hendrickson-5yqQkcqteHRBfxJ4/), is playing through a stinger and a back injury. So, when [Myles Garrett](https://theathletic.com/nfl/player/myles-garrett-5tNpwZ84u0CxU0dz/) and the Browns ambushed Burrow and the passing attack, those real concerns rushed back to life. [Carolina](https://theathletic.com/nfl/team/panthers/) next week — looks far different from this one. But the Bengals now have five road games under their belt, and four of them have included an early double-digit deficit. In the first eight games, they played only one true starting quarterback for an entire game ( [Lamar Jackson](https://theathletic.com/nfl/player/lamar-jackson-CN1mSwkLEcXHApTP/)). Is this line really better or was that just a product of the opponent? Reader](https://theathletic.com/nfl/player/dj-reader-VldnQvXPhT79fJxu/) will return against Pittsburgh after the bye, but between Reader and Awuzie, the Bengals are without arguably their two best defensive players this season. Of Awuzie’s injury, Taylor said, “I don’t think it’s great.” The nature in which player after player visited him inside the blue medical tent after he went down holding his knee tells you how big a loss this is to the soul of the defense and how serious the Bengals believe it to be.

The Browns stacked together their most complete game of the season to pick up a crucial divisional win on a primetime stage.

That put the Browns up 32-6, which closed the door on any Bengals comeback attempt and capped off a dominating performance on both sides of the ball. The Browns had a few leaky plays in the second half, including a 41-yard touchdown from Burrow to WR Tee Higgins, but everything else was mostly excellent against Burrow, who finished 25-of-35 for 232 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. After heading into halftime with an 11-0 lead, the Browns poured it on in the second half with three touchdowns and stacked arguably one of their best offensive halves of the season.

Huber battled for his position during training camp with the Bengals ultimately decided to go with the veteran to start the season. Looking to get their first points of the night, the Bengals sent McPherson out for a 47-yard field goal right before the half. It went wide right and the Bengals went into halftime with zero points. With the offense unable to do virtually anything in the first half, it was on the defense to keep them in the game. 1 cornerback Chidobe Awuzie suffered a knee injury and was immediately ruled out to return to the game. That’s what they do and the Bengals haven’t proved to be able to stop them yet. Getting Wilson back was a boost for the Bengals defense but the injuries the Bengals suffered in the secondary made for a tough night. It is a problem for the Bengals for several reasons. The offense is reliant upon Burrow in rhythm and when he’s unable to do so, Cincinnati’s offense looks lost. Garrett isn’t going anywhere, and the Bengals will continue to have to see him twice a year for the foreseeable future, including a matchup in December. On paper, the Bengals had more than enough talent at the skill positions to be able to move the ball on the Browns through the air. They didn’t do that and an injury to one player isn’t an excuse to get blown out and not score a touchdown until the fourth quarter.

The Cincinnati Bengals travel to Cleveland on Monday night looking to pull even with the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC North, while the Browns are desperately trying to stay within shouting distance of their division rivals.

“It has to be routine. “We have what it takes. The only negative moment for the Browns on what was a hugely positive evening came from Cooper who, when given the opportunity to throw the ball in a trick play, threw it right to Bengals safety Vonn Bell for an interception. With his 27th 100-yard rushing game for the organization, Chubb moved into a tie for second in Browns history for the achievement and now leads the NFL in rushing with 841 yards through eight weeks. On the other side, Cleveland running back Nick Chubb ran for 101 yards and two touchdowns with quarterback Jacoby Brissett also scrambling for a touchdown in a dominant performance on the ground for the Browns.

It took more games than most had hoped for, but the Browns seemed to really take lessons and build upon their losses in order to get the win against the Bengals and keep their streak against Cincinnati alive, having won every matchup against them since Dec. It was passion, and while it may have appeared that was a sign of dysfunction and a locker room about to become unhinged, it was quite the opposite. It was a shared mindset led by quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who vowed that fans would see "a focused group, a group that's going to lay it all out on the line" and added, "Our mindset is just to empty the tank this week and play smart football." Most importantly, the defense executed the fundamentals. They found their groove, and Brissett used his connection with Amari Cooper and the skillset of Donovan Peoples-Jones to move the ball downfield and open up the run game for Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt, which, as expected, proved to be the lifeblood of the offense. Defensive coordinator Joe Woods was aggressive with his linebackers, sending in the blitz and swallowing up Burrow behind his weak offensive line. CLEVELAND — The Browns' defense has been a major area for concern this season, with fundamental mistakes repeating week in and week out. On the Friday before the Browns left for Baltimore, the locker room felt different. The Browns headed into their primetime matchup Monday night against the Bengals inside FirstEnergy Stadium on a mission.
