Browns v Bengals,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
According to STATSCleveland Browns at Cincinnati Bengals
After losing 17-16 last week to the Eagles, the Browns have now lost seven consecutive games going back to last season. Only the Rams (eight) have a longer active losing streak. While the Browns have also lost seven consecutive road games, they have gone 15 consecutive games without scoring more than 20 points.
On Monday night, the Bengals lost 44-13 to Baltimore,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], marking just the second time since October 2007 that the Bengals allowed at least 40 points (allowed 49 against Buffalo on November 21,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 2010).
The Bengals have won 12 of their last 15 games against the Browns, including seven of their last eight home games against them. Green caught four passes in two games against the Browns last season, and three of the four receptions went for at least 35 yards. However, the Bengals lost 44-13 at Baltimore on Monday night as the Ravens amassed 430 total yards while their vaunted defense sacked Andy Dalton four times and safety Ed Reed returned an interception 34 yards for a touchdown.
The Bengals only touchdown came on BenJarvus Green-Ellis' 6-yard run near the end of the first half,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. They were outscored 27-3 over the final two quarters.
"Plain and simple, we got beat in all phases of the game,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," middle linebacker Rey Maualuga said. "There's no way else to put it. It's just something that we have to learn from."
The Bengals would seem to have a favorable chance to bounce back against Cleveland,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which has lost three in a row and 12 of 15 in this series. Cincinnati also has won three straight and seven of eight at home against the Browns, who have dropped seven consecutive road games since a 27-19 win over Indianapolis on Sept. 18,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 2011.
Dalton was an efficient 21 of 31 for 270 yards and a touchdown during a 23-20 home victory over Cleveland on Nov. 27. Green,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who caught five passes for 70 yards in the opener,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], had three receptions for 110 yards in that contest.
Though Cincinnati has dominated its northern Ohio rival of late,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Browns held a six-point lead at home over Philadelphia last weekend before the Eagles scored a touchdown with 1:18 left to come away with a 17-16 victory. Cleveland's seven-game skid dates to a 14-10 win over Jacksonville on Nov. 20.
A stout defensive effort, which included a 22-yard interception return for a TD from linebacker D'Qwell Jackson, helped keep the Browns competitive last Sunday while the offense managed 210 yards. The Browns have been held to fewer than 20 points in six straight games since that November loss at Cincinnati.
Rookie Brandon Weeden went 12 of 35 for 118 yards and four interceptions against the Eagles. His 5.1 passer rating was the sixth-lowest for any quarterback attempting 15 passes in a season opener since 1970.
Despite the performance, coach Pat Shurmur believes Weeden, who turns 29 next month, will improve this weekend.
"He won't lose his confidence,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Shurmur said. "I think it's important we go back,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], just like we do each week,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], work on the fundamentals of playing the position and get ready to play the next team."
Fellow rookie Trent Richardson said his injured knee felt fine, but he'll likely need to do better after gaining 39 yards on 19 carries against Philadelphia.
Cleveland will be without star cornerback Joe Haden, who begins a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing drugs. However, linebacker Scott Fujita will make his 2012 debut after an appeals panel renounced a three-game league suspension for his role in the New Orleans Saints' bounty scandal.
Fujita, who played for the Saints from 2006-09 and has recorded 101 tackles over the past two seasons for Cleveland,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], could possibly be in the starting lineup at the strong side spot next to Jackson.
"It's definitely a comfort zone," Jackson said. "The guy has been through a lot, and to have him back out here and focused on football and not have to worry about outside distractions means the world to us."
Bengals linebacker Thomas Howard definitely won't be in the lineup, as he was placed on the reserve/injured list Friday after suffering a season-ending knee injury in practice this week. Howard,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Cincinnati's leading tackler last season, had four tackles, a sack and a pass defensed Monday.
