CLEVELAND _ The Browns haven’t scored a touchdown against the Bengals at Cleveland Browns Stadium since 2013 and Cincinnati extended that skein into the second half Sunday when two Andy Dalton red-zone touchdown passes to tight end Tyler Eifert gave the Bengals a 20-0 half-time lead.
And it should have been 24-0 because Mike Nugent’s problems continued amid the spitting snowflakes with another missed extra point and he sent a 36-yard field-goal try wide right as the first half ended.
When Browns quarterback Robert Griffin III got the ball back with 5:05 left in the half after Dalton zipped a third-down pass for a five-yard touchdown to Eifert beating cornerback Tramon Williams Sr.
