As the Cincinnati Bengals prepare to face the Cleveland Browns, both teams are looking to improve their standings, with the Bengals holding a record of 6-8 and the Browns struggling at 3-11.

The game is set to take place at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati, starting at 1 p.m. ET, and will be broadcast on CBS with streaming options available.

Historically, the Browns have had the upper hand in this rivalry, winning 9 out of the last 12 matchups and boasting a strong home record against Cincinnati.

In their previous encounter earlier this season, the Bengals defeated the Browns 21-14, continuing a trend where Cincinnati has won three of the last four matchups.

Injury reports indicate that key players such as Browns tight end David Njoku and Bengals defensive end Sam Hubbard are questionable for the game, while Nick Chubb is out for the season.

A key matchup to watch will be between Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase and Browns cornerback Denzel Ward, both of whom are recognized as top players in their positions.

Cincinnati has won their last two games, including victories against the Dallas Cowboys and Tennessee Titans, but they must win their remaining games to keep their playoff hopes alive.

The Browns will start Dorian Thompson-Robinson at quarterback, replacing Jameis Winston, who was benched due to ongoing struggles and turnovers.

Despite throwing two interceptions in a recent loss to the Bengals, head coach Kevin Stefanski remains confident in Thompson-Robinson's abilities.

Cleveland's offense has struggled this season, ranking 23rd overall and 30th in scoring, while their defense has also had difficulties, conceding an average of 29.7 points per game in recent matches.

On the other hand, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is having a standout season, leading the NFL in multiple categories including passing yards and touchdowns.
