Box Score: Browns 27, Bengals 34

September 16, 2012 by 7 Comments

Incredible improvements were on display Sunday in Cincinnati for the Browns offense. Trent Richardson put up monster numbers and Cleveland scored more points than all but one of their 2011 games.

Yet, the Bengals were in control throughout and led coast to coast. The Browns secondary looked suspect at best without Joe Haden and the solid second-half offense was just too little too late. In the meanwhile, Brandon Weeden set a franchise rookie passing record with 322 yards in a single game.

    For Weeden, 88 of those 322 yards came at a point when the Browns were in a position to tie the game or take the lead. So 73% of the yards that Weeden threw for were at a point when the Browns were down by at least 2 scores and at least, for me, minimizes any sort of “record setting” performance.

    I didn’t expect a win, given the shape the defense is in. I also didn’t expect such improvements from the offense, so all in all I’m pretty happy.

  • TSR3000

    That is the most annoying comment ever.

  • Vindictive_Pat

    Sorry, but that’s just plain absurd… the Bengals weren’t playing a prevent defense at any point until possibly our last drive (but even then, I didn’t see it). They weren’t trying any less to stop the pass just because they were up by over a TD.

  • Wow

    Yeah he was trying to make a comeback, if anything it’s more impressive when your down in a game.

  • Toddyus

    The minute I heard Weeden’s performance was a rookie record, I knew someone would make this comment here… *sigh*

  • Jaker

    “Zonk”? More like… “poopface”…. Hahahahaha, GOT HIM!
