CLEVELAND, Ohio -- You've probably heard this before: a more talented team came to FirstEnergy Stadium on Sunday, built a big lead on the Browns and were able to hang on in the second half. It's become a weekly theme on this homestand.
The Bengals won for the third straight season in Cleveland, this time by a score of 23-10.
Sunday wasn't much different. The Bengals took a 20-0 lead into the locker room at halftime -- they had, at that point, outscored the Browns, 87-3, in the last ten quarters the two teams played here -- and looked like they were en route to an easy win.
