After three months filled with plenty of frustration, the Bengals managed to earn their first win of 2019 last weekend by defeating the New York Jets.
Making the switch back from Ryan Finley to Andy Dalton seemed like a no brainer for Cincinnati since the rookie quarterback put the Bengals more at risk to ending up on the wrong side of NFL history by going the entire year without a single win.
Now that Cincinnati has a little surprise momentum, their next goal will be handing Cleveland a second loss in a row to mess up playoff chances even more for Freddie Kitchens since the team took a bit of a step back last weekend after coming up short against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Talent wise, the Browns clearly have the better team over the Bengals, but this is a team with nothing to lose at this point in the season other than playing the spoiler role.
Since rivalries tend to sometimes bring out the best in teams, another upset by the Bengals seems capable of happening when facing the Browns.
