Browns Frighten Burrow & Bengals (32-13) in Halloween AFC North Showdown

Monday night in Ohio proved the theory that anybody can beat anybody on any given day in the NFL. The Bengals entered Monday Night on the back of two 30-point performances, and the Browns came in on a four-game skid. But primetime in Cleveland was a shocking blowout. The Browns sacked Bengals QB Joe Burrow five times while forcing him into two turnovers. Cleveland led 25-0 by the third quarter thanks to a deadly run game led by Nick Chubb. Amari Cooper also had a big impact and Donovan Peoples-Jones made the play of the night with a sideline hurdle (seen above). Things just got tight in the AFC North.
