Bengals vs. Browns: Predict the outcome of the Week 16 NFL matchup

The Cincinnati Bengals are preparing for an AFC North showdown against the 3-11 Cleveland Browns.

Despite a painful season for the Bengals, playoff hopes are still alive, but every game must be won if the team has a chance.

The one-game-at-a-time mentality that Zac Taylor always preaches couldn’t be truer, and the Bengals MUST beat the Browns to have any hope on Sunday.

The Bengals are two wins in a row (Cowboys, Titans) and are 6-8 overall.

Joe Burrow is currently preparing for an MVP season, but it has been overlooked all season due to the Bengals’ defensive woes.

Ja’Marr Chase is currently aiming for the Triple Crown and leads the NFL in receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns.

On the defensive side, Trey Hendrickson leads the NFL in sacks and is putting together another monster Pro Bowl season.

With all that said, the Bengals need to win and hope for help from other teams in the league to make the playoffs.

On the other hand, the Browns are coming off a terrible season and are sitting at the bottom of the AFC North.

The Browns will use Dorian Thompson-Robinson against the Bengals this week in hopes of providing a spark on offense.

The Bengals experienced some of DSR in their win over the Browns in week seven (21-14).

What do you think will happen on Sunday in the second part of the Battle of Ohio?
