TNF Preview - Can Manziel inflict a first loss in Cincy?

Article by Gordon Dedman


Cleveland Browns (2-6) at Cincinnati Bengals (7-0) 

 

This divisional game looks all over a stroll for the unbeaten Bengals as they go marching on. In front of a home crowd and facing a team that has lost three straight, this shouldn't provide any challenges for Andy Dalton, who has looked 

 


He struggled in his last game against the Steelers to make an impact and was assisted by his defense to force the win. The key for a Browns victory could be their 13 takeaways. The defense will need to support an offense that looks likely to be led by Johnny Manziel as Josh McCown is still suffering from a rib injury.

 

The last time Manziel faced the Bengals, he was making his debut and was overwhelmed in a 30-0 rout when he threw two interceptions. Since then, he has gained his first NFL win when he threw touchdown passes of 60 and 50 yards to Travis Benjamin. 

 

It will be interesting viewing, but unless Manziel can produce some magic, it should produce another Bengals win.
