The Cincinnati Bengals will host the Cleveland Browns on Sunday as Week 7 of the 2016 NFL regular season continues. Today's game has a scheduled start time of 1 p.m. ET and takes place from Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati. The game can be watched on TV on the CBS network or online through live stream via the link below.
Today's game is an all AFC North division encounter, and Cincinnati will be expecting to gain the victory that can propel them back into the mix for the postseason.
Even though the Bengals lag with just a 2-4 record right now, the division remains reasonably open without any team pushing on and pulling out ahead too far.
The Browns would appear out of the running already on 0-6, but ahead of the Bengals are the 3-3 Baltimore Ravens, and at the top are the Pittsburgh Steelers on 4-2. If the Bengals can string together a series of wins over the next month then they would be right back in the running.
However, that could be easier said than done, and for sure it would mean they definitely need to claim the win against the poor Cleveland Browns today.
Earlier in Week 7, NFL Thursday Night Football saw the Green Bay Packers claim what in the end was an easy win over the Chicago Bears.
Even though the 26-10 scoreline would indicate that the Packers had it all their own way, that was not the case, and through the opening three quarters just field goal separated the teams.
However, when things came to the crunch, the hapless Bears fell down again and disappointed. With just three points between the teams heading into the fourth quarter, Chicago fans may have been hoping their team could sneak the win at the end. But 13 unanswered points for the Packers saw Green Bay run out victors to move to 4-2.
That result condemned the Bears to their sixth defeat of the season so far as they dropped down further to 1-6, and this is already turning into a long and painful season for them.
Aaron Rodgers threw for 326 yards and three touchdowns. His 39 of 56 set a franchise record for completions in a single game.
The Bears meanwhile lost quarterback Brian Hoyer to a broken left arm in the second quarter, and so he joins the injured list with Jay Cutler, leaving Chicago to turn to third stringer Matt Barkley, who ended 6 of 15 for 81 yards and two interceptions.
Bears coach John Fox said, "Well, when you lose your starting quarterback it can be disruptive. It's not an excuse, it's just a reality,"
