Bengals 30, Browns 16
CINCINNATI — Rookie Joe Mixon ran for a career-high 114 yards in the Bengals’ best offensive showing since the last time they faced Cleveland.
The result sent the Browns into December still winless for the second year in a row.
The Bengals (5-6) won back-toback games for the second time this season. They hadn’t scored so many points since they won 31-7 at Cleveland on Oct. 1.
Mixon also had an 11-yard touchdown that put it away in the fourth quarter. The Bengals came into the game with the worst rushing offense in the NFL, making it to 100 yards only once before.
At 0-11, the Browns are starting to run out of chances for that breakthrough win. Last year, they waited until their 15th game to get their only victory and avoid the second 0-16 season in NFL history.
Philadelphia quarterback Carson Wentz looks to pass during the first half of Sunday’s game against Chicago at Lincoln in Philadelphia. Wentz passed for 227 yards and three touchdowns.
Rex Burkhead also scored and Dion Lewis had 15 carries for 112 yards for New England, marking his first career 100-yard game.
The Dolphins played without quarterback Jay Cutler, who practiced Friday, but remained in the concussion protocol. Matt Moore struggled to find a rhythm in his second start of the season.
Nate Ebner left with a knee injury after his fake punt run in the first quarter. Trevor Reilly left with a head injury after a collision. DL Trey Flowers (ribs) and LB Marquis Flowers left in the third quarter after a collision., and OL LaAdrian Waddle left in the fourth quarter with an ankle injury. LB Kyle Van Noy (leg) was able to walk off the field on his own after being shaken up in the fourth.
It was an especially gratifying win for Bills coach Sean McDermott, who spent 10-plus seasons working for Chiefs counterpart Andy Reid in Philadelphia. And it was even more so considering the heat McDermott had been under after his questionable quarterback change last week.
Hauschka missed a 52-yard field-goal try late in the first half, ending his NFL-record streak of 13 straight from at least 50 yards. The streak dated to 2014 when he was with Seattle. He bounced back to hit from 56 yards, giving him a Bills-record seven 50-plus makes this season. Michael Perez / AP
