Of course the Ravens had a lot to do with both of those facts, but at some point a team that wants to win needs to make winning plays and this Cincinnati team just doesn’t.
Or at least not be in position for the opposing coach to run the clock out with a punt/sumo wrestling play.

2. In a season in which Andy Dalton needs to be great for the Bengals to win, he hasn’t been for a month.
High standard? Yes, but that’s part of the territory with being a franchise quarterback. Or someone who aspires to be. He made some great throws, such as the touchdown to Tyler Eifert, but he also missed too many considering the margin for error.
In the red zone.

Bengals NEED a TD...
Andy Dalton is sacked and fumbles. Wow. #CINvsBAL https://t.co/2UiaduAecS
3. The Browns not only lost to the Giants, they made a little history doing so.
Today's loss means #Browns have clinched the worst Ohio era:

1991-2004 #Bengals 71-153 .317 pct.
2003-Pres #Browns 66-154 .300 pct.
Meanwhile, Hue Jackson told reporters he is not worried about being one and done in Cleveland.
4. Receivers made some news in this one as Odell Beckham Jr. mocked LeBron James and Terrelle Pryor had another big game.

Pryor continued his fascinating season both by playing well and handling a weird Twitter attack from Giants CB Janoris Jenkins with class. (You'll have to click here because it's NSFW.)
Pryor gained 131 yards on six catches, including a 54-yarder.
The catch that put @TerrellePryor over 100 yards on the day ... #NYGvsCLE https://t.co/yr7jQjmjtG

5. Remember Khalil Mack? He had a great game against Ohio State for Buffalo in the season opener a few years ago.
Turns out that was not a fluke.
He does it again...@52Mack_ is a GAME CHANGER. #RaiderNation #CARvsOAK https://t.co/pxuHGxTpDj

Mack had six tackles, an interception return for a touchdown and the game-clinching strip sack against Carolina.
The Raiders’ 35-32 win also included an 88-yard touchdown pass from Cam Newton to Ted Ginn Jr.
