The Cincinnati Bengals played lockdown defense for the second straight game, and the Cleveland Browns looked listless once more. Cincinnati claimed a 21-14 win in Week 7 — ending a six-year streak of losing in Cleveland.
At the forefront of the game's headlines is Deshaun Watson‘s potentially season-ending Achilles injury. The Browns' starting signal-caller went down on a non-contact play late in the first half and did not return, potentially pushing Dorian Thompson-Robinson or Jameis Winston into a starting role for the rest of the year.
