This week’s edition of Cincinnati Bengals vs. Cleveland Browns isn’t going to look much like the game from Week 9. Not because Cincinnati will dominate Cleveland, but because it is going to be interesting to see how many of the players from that week are actually going to be on the field in Week 18.
We already know that neither Joe Burrow nor Baker Mayfield will start. There is a very small chance the Bengals could work their way to the 2 seed, but that isn’t as beneficial as past years when those teams would have gotten a bye week.
