CINCINNATI, Ohio -- DeShone Kizer shook off his worst game of the season from last week and a second-quarter concussion check to play one of his gutsiest and spirited games of the season.
Unfortunately for him and for the Browns, it wasn't enough as the Browns fell 30-16 to the Bengals to drop to 0-11. The Bengals improved to 5-6 and kept their wildcard hopes alive.
The Browns are only the second team in NFL to go 0-11 in back-to-back seasons, joining the 1976-77 Bucs.
Hue Jackson, who returned to his old Bengals' stomping grounds, fell to 1-26 to tie for the worst start by a coach since John McKay with those same '76-'77 Bucs.
