![]() ![]() The Bengals minimized the Bills' big plays while applying consistent pressure on Allen. Cincinnati took away Buffalo's running game while limiting Diggs' impact in the passing game. A big reason for Mixon's success was the play of the Bengals' rebuilt offense line that included 2021 second-round pick Jackson Carman, who on Sunday made his first career start at left tackle as they dealt with several injuries.Īs they have throughout the Bengals' 10-game winning streak, Cincinnati's defense played an integral role in Sunday's win. Led by Mixon's 105 yards, Cincinnati rumbled for 172 yards on 34 carries. The Bengals' passing game was complemented by Cincinnati's rushing attack. Whatever the case: Burfict 1, Camera 0.Garnet Thor for 6 □ #CINatBUF | □ CBS /QnGpyAvXTR- Cincinnati Bengals January 22, 2023 Whatever the case, the operator stays on it like he's filming whatever that pile of stuff is the lens of the camera actually crashed into. Or maybe the little push at the end was actually Burfict trying to catch the camera. No, seriously, look at him run into this thing and then push it down: Burfict is not a fan of camerasĬameras are stupid, did you know that? Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict isn't a fan of cameras, or at least it appears that way after he demolished one after a Browns touchdown on Thursday. Alternating running backs is working very well, and not forcing Dalton to throw the ball 50 times per game is also working. Going into Sunday, Bernard had 439 yards and two touchdowns while Hill had 292 yards and five touchdowns. That includes Giovani Bernard picking up 51 yards on nine carries and Jeremy Hill picking up 50 yards on 12 carries. If you factor in just running back carries, the Bengals has 21 carries. Heading into the fourth quarter, when they had a multi-score lead over the Browns, the Bengals had attempted 21 passes with 27 rushing attempts, five of which came from Dalton. The Bengals finished Thursday's game with three passing touchdowns and over 150 yards rushing. That's a real solid touchdown from Manziel to Johnson, and if he can do that more often, then he'll be in good shape on the Browns. Originally drafted to be their franchise quarterback, he had the issues with rehab and everything else, and fell behind on the depth chart. Manziel is in a very weird position with the Browns. But McCown is banged up and Manziel made the start on Thursday. Josh McCown has been better than expected under center for the Browns, so much so that at one point, the chants for Manziel were eventually silenced, for the most part. 3 things we learned from Thursday's game Yes, Manziel can throw touchdowns The game was essentially over when Dalton found Eifert for his third touchdown of the game with under eight minutes to go, putting the Bengals up by three scores. The Bengals managed a field goal ate in the third quarter, and then piled it on when Mohamed Sanu took a touchdown in from 25 yards out. Unfortunately for the Browns, they were unable to take their late-half momentum and turn it into second half points. Dalton threw for 77 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the first half, finding his tight end Tyler Eifert on touchdowns of 9 and 2 yards. ![]() It was a good drive, and Manziel finished the first half having completed 11 of 18 passes for 128 yards and a touchdown, a 12-yard pass to rookie running back Duke Johnson.īut the Bengals looked great on offense, with Dalton leading them on two touchdown drives, one in the first quarter and one in the second. ![]() They punted twice before they found the end zone, but find it they did, when Manziel led the team on a 10-play, 92-yard drive resulting in a touchdown as the first half expired. It was a competitive first half, though the Browns took a bit to get going. He was sacked three times and only got 38 yards from running back Isaiah Crowell. Manziel finished 15-of-33 passing for 168 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions. He finished with five catches for 53 yards and the three touchdowns. Three of his five catches on the day were touchdowns. Eifert is having a breakout year and just added to it on Thursday. Cleveland still has more questions than answers and fell to 2-7 on the year.ĭalton's tight end, Tyler Eifert, had a fantastic game, catching three touchdowns from his quarterback. Manziel didn't have a bad game for Cleveland, but he didn't play well enough to lead the Browns to an upset victory over the unbeaten Bengals, who now move to 8-0 on the season. Andy Dalton threw three touchdowns and the Bengals finished with 154 rushing yards, more than enough to hold off Johnny Manziel and the Browns. The Cincinnati Bengals took down the AFC North rival Cleveland Browns on Thursday Night Football, 31-10. ![]()
