The Cincinnati Bengals and the Cleveland Browns play at the FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio on Sunday as Week 13 of the NFL 2015 regular season continues. The Bengals will be massive favorites for this one, with the Browns only winning two games in total all season long coming into this one. The game has a scheduled start time of 1 p.m. ET and can be watched on TV on the Fox network or online through live stream via the link below.
The Browns come into the game on 2-9 and the season seems to becoming more and more traumatic for their hapless fans. On Monday night Cleveland suffered a disastrous final play, and videos went viral of a distraught and angry fan ripping off his Browns jersey from his body.
There is little hope of their pain ending tonight, as the Bengals oppositely have been fantastic this season, and they come into today's game on 9-2, looking for their 10th win.
Austin Davis will be thrown into this match up and he has said ahead of the game: "I hate feeling unprepared for anything, especially being quarterback on an NFL football team. I feel like there are so many people that are counting on you and looking at you to play well. The fact of letting people down just bothers me."
Meanwhile, Andy Dalton has said, "Our goals are bigger than (just making the playoffs). The nice thing is that we've put ourselves in position where we can start handling that stuff as the season goes along. But our focus is getting this win right now, and that will set us up better for the end of the season."
Earlier this week, NFL Thursday Night Football saw the Green Bay Packers take on the Detroit Lions, and although it looked like the Lions had the game in the bag, a spectacular comeback in the second half by the Packers saw them take the spoils to move to 8-4.
Green Bay went in at the half way point without a point on the board and were behind by 17. But whatever they drank at halftime seemed to do the trick, as they came back out and piled on the points winning the third quarter 14-3 to pull the score back to 14-20. They then completed their comeback in the final quarter, scoring another 13 points with the Lions offense shut down and only able to score another three to leave the final score at 27-23.
The game winning play came in dramatic style, with Aaron Rodgers throwing a 61 yard touchdown to Richard Rodgers with no time left on the clock.
The result will be a relief for the Packers, who had lost four of their last five, and will be setback for the Lions, who had won three straight games coming into the game. They will be hugely disappointed to have missed out on the chance to sweep the series for the first time since 1991.
Anytime a team loses a 20 point lead it is a huge blow, but the nature of the loss and the opposition will make the defeat that much worse for Detroit.
The Packers left it late to make their charge, only scoring their first points with just 5.44 on the clock in the third quarter. But once they got into their rhythm there was no stopping them.
On the final play, the only reason the Packers had their final chance was because Devin Taylor grabbed Aaron Rodgers facemark. If he had not done that then the game would have been over, but because of that foul, Green Bay were given another chance, and Aaron Rodgers didn't need to be told twice. He launched a massive 61 yard Hail Mary pass, which came off to leave the Detroit fans stunned and the Packers fans in ecstasy.
Rodgers admitted after the game: "I've never had a completed Hail Mary before."
Rodgers finished the game with 26 of 36 for 289 yards and two touchdowns, compared to Matthew Stafford's 23 of 35 for 220 yards and two touchdowns.
