BENGALS 33, BROWNS 23

-

Joe Mixon rushed for 162 yards and two touchdowns and Andy Dalton passed for 190 yards and a score to lift the host Cincinnati Bengals to victory against the Cleveland Browns. Cincinnati (2-14), which has secured the top pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, finished in fourth place in the AFC North for the second straight season but avoided the first one-victory season in franchise history. The Bengals also finished 2-14 in 2002. The Browns’ Nick Chubb ran 13 times for 41 yards to finish the season with 1,494 rushing yards and likely will earn the NFL rushing title. Browns quarterbac­k Baker Mayfield became the first Cleveland signal-caller to start all 16 games under centre in 18 years. Cleveland placed third in the division for the second straight season while finishing with double-digit losses for the 10th time in 12 years.
