With the Browns riding a franchise-record-tying 11-game losing streak, the effort to avoid moving the mark to an all-time high (or low) of 12 has gotten complicated early, with the Bengals taking a 7-0 lead.

The score came via a 55-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Andy Dalton to tight end Jermaine Gresham.
