Some teams always seem to have one opponent that is their kryptonite; no matter where they play, they just can’t manage to beat them. For the Cincinnati Bengals, that team is the Cleveland Browns. The hometown team defeated their in-state rivals with a score of 32-13. To the lead QB, Joe Burrow, of the losing team, this was a great problem as he remains winless against the Browns.

The first-round pick is 0-4 against the team he once cheered for. While talking about the Cleveland Browns, the QB had all praises for them. They deserved all the credit and are a well-coached team, according to the 25-year-old quarterback.

He also acknowledged that the mistakes the Bengals made are irreversible. “They’ve had our number the last couple years…We’re not panicking,” Burrow said. “We know what went wrong in each game.”

Joe Burrow and Co broke down against the Browns

Although Joe Burrow pushed the Cincinnati Bengals towards many wins, he could not do the same against the Browns. The Heisman Trophy winner still has not beaten them. On Halloween, the Browns broke their four-game losing streak. Amari Cooper and Jacoby Brissett played at their maximum level.

Brissett had success, completing 17 of 22 passes for 278 yards and a touchdown. He rushed for a touchdown six minutes into the third quarter. This gave the Browns an 18-0 lead. Cooper made up for his interception in the first half. He made five passes for 131 yards and a touchdown.

Cincinnati struggled with its offensive linemen. Without their All-Pro WR, Ja’Marr Chase, the game got affected. He was out because of a hip injury. Burrow chose shorter throws despite his inability to advance the ball very far. Although he completed passes for nine teammates, none of them had a receiving yardage of over 49.

The Bengals are destined to face their rivals twice, so that was not the last time or the last chance to work against them. Fans of Burrow will definitely want to see him win against the Browns.
