Team Totals: Bengals 27, Browns 21.5
Intent on discontinuing their history of slow starts, the Bengals played their first-team offense far more than usual this August. Joe Burrow led five preseason drives, looking sharp and in sync with Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. In last year’s two meetings with Browns DC Jim Schwartz, Burrow went 38-of-55 (69%) passing for 433 yards (7.9 YPA) and a 5:0 TD-to-INT ratio. Burrow is a confidently elite QB1 play here. … Chase Brown averaged 23.6 touches for 116.3 yards and 0.8 TDs over the Bengals’ final eight 2024 games. Zack Moss got cut, leaving designated pass blocker Samaje Perine and sixth-round rookie Tahj Brooks as Brown’s only backups. Brown projects as a near every-down back and legit RB1.
