5 keys to beating the Browns

Playoff mentality.

By Matthew Minich@CoachMinich  Dec 21, 2024, 7:00am EST

 

 

The Cincinnati Bengals still have a chance of making the NFL Playoffs, but not if they can’t care of business this weekend. Here is what they need to do to beat the Cleveland Browns.

Come Out Swinging

The Bengals need to score early and often for a few reasons. First and foremost is their defensive struggles. They need to score fast because they just might need to score a lot. Second, this will force the Browns to play from behind, taking away their running game putting the game on the arm of Dorian Thompson-Robinson. That would be advantageous.

Create Turnovers

The NFL rules are not designed for defenses to pitch shutouts anymore. Playing defense in the modern game is all about turnovers. The Bengals must figure out how to create as many turnovers as possible. They did a fantastic job of this last week. It needs to become the norm.

Protect the Franchise

Myles Garrett may be looking for an exit this offseason, but this weekend he will be looking to get into the backfield. It looks like Orlando Brown could make a triumphant return to the lineup, which is good, but it’s still Myles Garrett. I loved the way they helped Amarius Mims out with Micah Parsons a few weeks ago. I am usually anti-chip block, but Drew Sample seems to have it down. That should definitely be a big part of the game plan.

Joe to Ja’Marr and Tee

The Browns have some big injuries in the secondary that need to be exploited. Between Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, just throw it to whoever isn’t covered by Denzel Ward and I like those odds. Chase should eat from the slot. I also don’t know who they think is going to cover Mike Gesicki.

Playoff Mentality

The Bengals need some things to fall their way to make it to the playoffs, but this game is the only thing they can control at this moment. They must treat this game like it is already a playoff game, because for one Ohio team, it is.

I saw somewhere it was bacterial meningitis. Definitely not something you want to mess with.

Tks for pointing that out.

Can't blame the guy for missing out with that type of virus.

I’m not sure if that’s the one that is highly contagious or viral meningitis. Either way, you don’t want that in your locker room.

So how much do we lose to the Browns by?? This will be the DTR coming out party, right??

I’m not sure if it is the same type of meningitis, but my son’s teacher in 5th grade died of a type of bacterial meningitis.
