BROWNS 24, BENGALS 3
BRIEFS
Petersons return
wont be expedited
Cleveland dominates
from the start, takes
first in AFC North
CINCINNATI The
Cleveland Browns took full advantage of Andy Daltons miserable night Thursday, dominating the Cincinnati Bengals
24-3 in an AFC North showdown that was shockingly onesided from the outset.
Cleveland (6-3) improved
its best start since 1994 and
moved into a first-place tie
with Pittsburgh in the NFLs
toughest division.
The Browns also ended one
of their most enduring streaks
of futility. They won a division
game on the road for the first
time since 2008, ending a
streak of 17 consecutive losses.
And they did it with a showing
that suggested theyre finally
for real.
Not the Bengals (5-3-1),
who once again came apart in
the national spotlight. Cincinnati is 18-41 in prime-time
games.
The Browns roughed up
Dalton, who was 10 of 33 for 86
yards with three interceptions
and two sacks. Cleveland controlled the game by rushing for
170 yards.
The game marked the first
since 1986 when Bernie Kosar and Boomer Esiason were
the quarterbacks that the intrastate rivals played with first
place on the line so late in the
season. The Browns won that
one 34-3.
And they were in charge
right from the start of this one,
too.
Playing in a cold, gusty
wind, Dalton was repeatedly
off-target and made a big early
mistake. His first pass was high
and incomplete. His next one
was intercepted by linebacker
Craig Robertson, who returned
it to the 18. Five plays later, Ben
Tate went into the end zone
from 4 yards for the lead.
It was the start of a dreadful
Browns running back Ben Tate goes in on a 4-yard touchdown run in the first half. The Browns never trailed in a
24-3 win.
