Browns vs. Bengals: Quick Hits
What went right: Other than Travis Coons making a 47-yard field goal as time expired at halftime, virtually nothing.
What went wrong: With Joe Haden missing his sixth game and fourth in a row because of a concussion, veteran cornerback Tramon Williams had to cover four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver A.J. Green. On six targets, Green caught five passes for 128 yards (25.6 average) and a touchdown. The defense also surrendered 144 yards and two touchdowns on 33 carries (4.4 average). On offense, the Browns never reached the red zone.
The bottom line: It’s extremely hard to envision a scenario in which owner Jimmy Haslam does anything but blow this whole thing to smithereens at the end of the season.
