Thursday Night Football

When: 8:25 p.m. ET
Where: Paul Brown Stadium, Cincinnati

The Cincinnati Bengals are 7-0 for the first time in franchise history, and should have plenty of motivation facing the Cleveland Browns on Thursday Night Football to get their eighth straight win.

The Cleveland Browns need a big road win after losing five of their last six games. Josh McCown is completing 65 percent of his passes for 1,897 yards, 11 touchdowns and four interceptions. McCown has five touchdown passes in his last three games. Travis Benjamin and Gary Barnidge have combined for 1,168 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns while Duke Johnson Jr. has 33 receptions. The Cleveland Browns ground game is averaging 84 yards per contest, and Isaiah Crowell leads the way with 295 yards and one touchdown. Defensively, Cleveland is allowing 27 points and 405.4 yards per game. Karlos Dansby leads the Browns with 61 tackles, Armonty Bryant has 3.5 sacks and Tramon Williams has five pass deflections. Andrew Hawkins, Donte Whitner and Joe Haden are questionable.

The Cincinnati Bengals look to remain unbeaten by winning their fifth straight home game. Andy Dalton is completing 66.2 percent of his passes for 1,992 yards, 15 touchdowns and four interceptions. Dalton has six touchdown passes in his last three games. A.J. Green and Tyler Eifert have combined for 1,030 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns while Marvin Jones has 26 receptions. The Cincinnati Bengals ground game is averaging 115.9 yards per contest, and Giovani Bernard leads the way with 439 yards and two touchdowns. Defensively, Cincy is allowing 18.9 points and 368.6 yards per game. Vincent Rey leads the Bengals with 65 tackles, Carlos Dunlap has 6.5 sacks and Adam Jones has seven pass deflections. Rey Maualuga is questionable.

The Bengals are one of the most complete teams in football, and while I don’t expect either quarterback to put on a show, Cincinnati’s offensive skill-position players and defensive line should be able to do enough to help Marvin Lewis’ team cruise to a relatively easy victory at home.

Manziel will make some plays, but he’s still not effective enough inside the pocket and what he does outside the pocket carries too much risk.

If the Browns’ defense was better, they’d be able to hang in. At this point though, that side is, surprisingly, still a work in progress.
