CLEVELAND – The Cincinnati Bengals offense found rock bottom in the first half of Sunday's 26-18 loss to the Cleveland Browns.
Shut out on the scoreboard, the Bengals went into halftime down by 16 points after gaining only 36 yards and just four first downs. Quarterback Jeff Driskel had just three yards passing, and running back Joe Mixon had 21 rushing yards on seven carries.
For a unit bereft of playmakers due to mounting injuries, there was no answer in front of a sold-out energized crowd of 67,431 at FirstEnergy Stadium.
