Cincinnati Bengals at Cleveland Browns

TV: 1 p.m. ET Sunday, CBS

Records: Bengals 1-11, Browns 5-7

Line: Browns by 8½

Satellite radio: Bengals feed on Sirius 119 (streaming 806), Browns feed on Sirius 135 (streaming 807)

Bengals’ keys: Cincinnati passes on nearly two-thirds of its offensive plays. If RB Joe Mixon finds early success, it would help neutralize the Browns’ pass rush. The defense must slow down Browns RB Nick Chubb on first down.

Browns’ keys: QB Baker Mayfield has been making smarter decisions of late and getting the ball to playmaking WRs Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham Jr. and RB Kareem Hunt, who has thrived in the passing game.

Who wins? The Browns have more riding on the game and have myriad paths. Browns 31, Bengals 13
