The Cincinnati Bengals season comes to a close on Sunday when the Cleveland Browns come to town for an in-division Week 18 game that looked as if it would be much more interesting at the beginning of the season.
It turns out this game doesn’t mean anything for the playoffs so the Browns will be resting their starters. However, the Bengals are still motivated to finish the season off with a win and have a record over .500 despite the injury issues that plagued the offense over the course of the year. Since Cleveland is expected to not play close to full strength, the Bengals are currently favored strongly.
On the defensive end, Trey Hendrickson currently sits in a tie for the league lead in sacks with T.J. Watt at 17. With former Bengals quarterback Jeff Driskel under center for the Browns in place of Joe Flacco and likely a weaker offensive line, he will have a solid chance at adding to that number and finishing with the lead which would be the first time in Bengals history.
