Bengals run over Browns

Mixon puts up 165 yards, touchdown against Cleveland

The Bengals ranked last in the league in rushing entering Sunday’s game, averaging only 68 yards per week. But they were playing their in-state rivals, and good things tend to happen for Cincinnati in the Battle of Ohio.

While the Bengals have had their troubles, they tend to be money in the bank against the Browns, and that’s the way it played out, with Joe Mixon running for 114 yards, adding another 51 yards as a pass catcher, and scoring a touchdown.

In the last four years, seven of the best 25 games by Cincinnati running backs have come in wins against Cleveland. (That’s using standard fantasy scoring – 6 points for touchdowns and 1 for every 10 run/rec yards.)
