The Bengals’ red-zone woes at Paul Brown Stadium continued Sunday but they rode three Randy Bullock field goals and 96 yards rushing to take a 16-6 half-time lead over the Browns.
But it was 16-3 when Browns quarterback DeShone Kizer got the 29th-ranked offense back on the field worh 2:06 ledt and for the fifth time 9n six games the Bengals gave up a field in the final 23 seconds, this time when rookie Zane Gonzalez hit a 21-yarder at the gun.
And the Bengals helped because they called a timeout thinking they could get Cleveland off the field on third-and-12.
