NFL Week 7 Recap: Cincinnati Bengals 21, Cleveland Browns 14

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.

PFF's dedicated team of graders was hard at work, analyzing every player on every play in real time. The grades and data will be available after a thorough review tomorrow at 12 p.m. EST.
