Viewing info for Bengals vs. Browns.

The Cincinnati Bengals season comes to a close on Sunday when the Cleveland Browns come to town for an in-division Week 18 game that looked as if it would be much more interesting at the beginning of the season.

It turns out this game doesn’t mean anything for the playoffs so the Browns will be resting their starters. However, the Bengals are still motivated to finish the season off with a win and have a record over .500 despite the injury issues that plagued the offense over the course of the year. Since Cleveland is expected to not play close to full strength, the Bengals are currently favored strongly.

On the defensive end, Trey Hendrickson currently sits in a tie for the league lead in sacks with T.J. Watt at 17. With former Bengals quarterback Jeff Driskel under center for the Browns in place of Joe Flacco and likely a weaker offensive line, he will have a solid chance at adding to that number and finishing with the lead which would be the first time in Bengals history.

Here’s a quick look at viewing info and key details about the matchup, including the forecast and opponent info.

Alan Eck assigned to Browns vs. Bengals in Week 18

Referee info for Browns vs. Bengals.

In a game that doesn’t have any playoff implications for either team, the Cincinnati Bengals host the Cleveland Browns at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday to finish the regular season.

In the final game, Alan Eck will be the referee for the first time in a Bengals game this year. In his first year as a referee, he has worked 16 games and is averaging 10.1 flags thrown per game.

It is his first year being a referee, but he was an umpire for the Bengals regular season win over the Kansas City Chiefs last season in which Joe Burrow threw for 286 yards and two touchdowns with just six incompletions.

The Bengals are tied for first in the NFL with just 4.7 penalties per game while the Browns are 29th in the league with 6.8 penalties per game, though their starters won’t be on the field for much of the game their penalty frequency might not apply.

Browns to rest starters vs Bengals, Jeff Driskel returns to Cincinnati

Jeff Driskel returns to Cincinnati for a backup-led Browns team.

When the Cincinnati Bengals host the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, the Browns will be resting many of their starters since they are already locked into a playoff spot and can’t improve their standing.

Joe Flacco, who has had an impressive comeback season and led them to this position, won’t play in the game and will rest for the playoff game they will play the following week.

Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski wouldn’t specify any other starters that would be getting rested in the game, but it will likely be many of them.

In Flacco’s place will be a familiar face for the Bengals in former Cincinnati quarterback Jeff Driskel, who signed with the Browns last week. He will be the fifth starting quarterback Cleveland has sent out this year.

Driskel spent one year with the Bengals, playing in nine games and starting five of them. He had a 1-4 record in his starts while throwing for 1,003 yards six touchdowns and two interceptions in his time on the field in relief of Andy Dalton who was injured for the last five games of the year.

Since then Driskel has also played for the Detroit Lions, Denver Broncos and Houston Texans, but he has better numbers with the Bengals than he does with any other team.

Browns vs. Bengals Week 18 kickoff time confirmed

Browns vs. Bengals gets an official kickoff time.

The Cincinnati Bengals have been officially eliminated from playoff contention after their Week 17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. However, there’s still one more game to get through before the offseason officially begins and kickoff time has been officially confirmed.

In Week 18, the Bengals match up against their playoff-bound AFC North in-state rivals, the Cleveland Browns and kickoff will be at 1:00 p.m. Since the Browns have already earned a playoff spot, they will likely be resting many players because they are already locked into the No. 5 seed whether they beat the Bengals.

Cincinnati will continue to send Jake Browning out to lead the offense, who has been doing a solid job doing so in the absence of Joe Burrow after his surgery.

Currently sitting at 8-8 with no possibility of making the playoffs or jumping the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC North standings, all the Bengals have to play for this weekend is to attempt to finish over .500 in what was in many ways a lost, unlucky season.

Bengals vs. Browns: How to watch, listen, and stream Week 1 interstate showdown

The Browns and Bengals are set for war, and here is how to watch

We have arrived at the first week of the 2023 regular season as the Cleveland Browns are set to host their interstate rivals, the Cincinnati Bengals. This game will take place at Cleveland Browns Stadium (no longer FirstEnergy Stadium) as both of these teams will look to get their seasons started on the right foot.

For the Browns, they come into this one off the heels of back-to-back losing seasons. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the Bengals have appeared in back-to-back AFC Championship Games. There is a reason they are the favorites in this game.

However, after an upgraded defensive front and a revamped offense operated by head coach Kevin Stefanski and quarterback Deshaun Watson, the Browns will look to play spoilers at home. Before we get to the game, we have all of the information you need to know to watch, listen, or stream Bengals vs. Browns this afternoon.

Uni Watch: Who wins the uniform matchup between the Browns and Bengals?

The Browns will open the season in their brown jersey

The season is upon us as the Cleveland Browns look to get their second opening week win in a row when they face the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday at Cleveland Browns Stadium. The Browns need to be ready right out the gate because the importance of an early-season divisional game is high if the team wants to have a successful season.

The Browns got some good news on Friday when their top corner Denzel Ward cleared concussion protocol to play against the Bengals. It will be needed as Cincinnati brings its high-octane offense to town.

Traditionally the home team wears their white uniforms early in the season due to the heat but that won’t happen this week in Cleveland. The Bengals will be the ones to wear the all-white uniforms as the Browns break out one of their fan-favorite combinations over the previous few seasons since the look was brought back.

The Bengals also enter the week with a clean bill of health as well, as quarterback Joe Burrow has given the green light that he will play in this Week 1 showdown between interstate rivals. The only player who did not practice for the Bengals on Wednesday was defensive end Joseph Ossai.

As we inch closer to the start of the regular season, here is the full injury report from Wednesday released by the Browns. Spoiler alert: It is good news as the only players who missed practice did so due to a scheduled veteran rest day.

We are now just five days away from Week 1 action as the Cleveland Browns are set for their season opener against their division rivals, the Cincinnati Bengals.

Who is listed as the second starter next to Dalvin Tomlinson along the defensive front? Will the Browns give the nod to rookie Cameron Mitchell over veteran Mike Ford Jr. in the nickel if veteran Denzel Ward cannot clear the concussion protocol? Who will take over return duties after the All-Pro in Jakeem Grant Sr. suffered a season-ending patellar tendon tear in the preseason finale?

Find out all of that and more! Here is the unofficial Week 1 depth chart released by the Browns.

Myles Garrett set the pass rush quickness standard in win over Bengals

Garrett leads the NFL in fastest pass-rush get off from the snap and built upon that in a dominant performance against the Bengals

Anyone who watched Monday night’s triumphant Cleveland win over the Cincinnati Bengals knew how dominant Browns DE Myles Garrett looked. Thanks to Next Gen Stats, we have even more evidence of just how awesome Myles was on Halloween.

On his way to scaring up 1.5 sacks and six total pressures against Bengals QB Joe Burrow, Garrett proved nobody can generate pressure quicker than No. 95. Per Next Gen Stats, Garrett had the fastest initial pass rush success rate of any player in the NFL all season in the Browns victory. It builds upon a monster season for Garrett in terms of how fast he is off the line.

 

This is nothing new for Garrett, who also led the NFL in get-off speed last season as well. But he’s getting even quicker, as the Next Gen Stats notes laid out,

“This is even better than last season when Garrett’s average pass get-off was 0.76 seconds.”
