THE TEAM NEWS
CLEVELAND BROWNS
- Cleveland's season was officially ended as they were defeated by Baltimore despite getting off to a solid start in that contest and they now head to Cincinnati as they attempt to end their year on a high.
- The Browns have had their injury issues this year but boast a very healthy roster heading into this final contest of the season with only tight end Ricky Seals-Jones sitting out a practice during the week with illness
- Wide receiver Jarvis Landry has struggled with a hip injury all season but he is expected to play through the pain to feature in this game to ensure he continues his streak of never missing a game during his time in the NFL.
CINCINNATI BENGALS
- Cincinnati were condemned to the #1 spot in next year's draft despite almost pulling off a miracle come-from-behind victory against Miami but they eventually succumbed to defeat in overtime.
- The Bengals have finally sent wide receiver A.J. Green to injured reserve with their star wideout failing to appear in any game this season and they also have doubts over cornerback William Jackson ahead of this contest.
- Jackson could be placed on injured reserve before this game due to a shoulder injury but in better news for the Bengals, right guard John Miller looks set to suit up for the first time in two weeks.
THE PREDICTION
Cleveland will feel they have underachieved this season as they were officially eliminated from play-off contention last week. Head coach Freddie Kitchens could find himself out of a job after this contest and he will hope his team can come out on top of this game against the team that are already on the clock ahead of next season’s draft. Cincinnati have endured a poor season and, although they will hope to end it well, the Browns should come out on top of what could turn into a shootout.
