Bengals vs Browns Preview
Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow missed the majority of training camp with a calf injury, but is expected to start this game for the Bengals.
“I’m in a good spot,” Burrow said this week. “I’m ready to go. We’re going to see how these next couple of days play out because you never know with these things, but I’m expecting to play.”
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor says he’s not worried about Burrow missing most of camp and the entirety of the preseason, though. “He maybe hasn’t gotten all the physical reps, but he’s gotten the mental reps,” Taylor said. “You know, he’s in every meeting talking through every rep as camp has gone on. He’s locked in. He’s had several good days of practice now, and we still get three more to go.”
Last year, Cincinnati won the AFC North with a 12-4 mark. The team finished in the top 10 in both scoring offense and defense, scoring up 26.1 points a game behind the Burrow-Ja’marr Chase connection, while allowing 20.1 points per contest on defense. The Bengals saw their season end in the AFC Championship against the eventual Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs.
On the other side, the Browns finished at the bottom of the AFC North with a 7-10 mark last season. Cleveland averaged just over 21 points a game on offense, while allowing 22.4 points per contest on defense. QB Deshaun Watson will lead Cleveland on the offensive side.
These two teams split the series last year, 1-1, and the Browns have been eyeing film from those games in order to figure out how to take Burrow and company down. “There’s so much tape to watch of your scheme versus their scheme, and they’ve obviously evolved over time just like we have,” Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said. “I’m speaking (about) our offense and their defense, but there’s certainly a lot of tape to look at and a lot of different situations.”
Leading up to the game, Chase says he’s ready to get his first victory against the Browns on the road.
“It will be a good time to get that dub over there,” Chase said. “I know I haven’t won over there and I’ve been hearing about how the rivalry and stuff goes on so I’m excited for it. I don’t really pay too much attention to it but just handle my business and do what I’m supposed to do.”
