56. . 5-7-1. . Cincinnati Bengals. 23. team

Any game against the winless Browns should be a victory for almost every remaining NFL team. And it was for the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Bengals won’t get any style or degree-of-difficulty points here. But it was good to see Cincinnati get out to a 13-point lead and hold it against an inferior opponent. That’s what teams should do against sub-par opposition.

Cincinnati is still pretty bad this season, and any hopes of the postseason are long gone.

But at least Bengals defensive back Pacman Jones’ comments about Browns wide receiver Terrelle Pryor were mildly entertaining.
