The two meetings between the Bengals and the Browns from last year are ones that the former hopes to build off of and the latter wishes they can forget. Will this year’s installments of the Battle of Ohio be any different?
The AFC North can be as competitive as it gets in pro football, but some teams in the division are more competitive than others. The Battle of Ohio was once known for its mutual admiration, turned to rough tension, following close game after close game. Nowadays, the games always seem primed to be a lopsided affair and it's pretty clear that the Cincinnati Bengals have established dominance for the most part over the Cleveland Browns in recent history.
