The Cleveland Browns defeat the Bengals on "Monday Night Football," ending a string of losses.

CLEVELAND — The Browns carried the demons of a four-game losing streak into their AFC North showdown with the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night. They battled the ghost of wondering what level of Abbadon their season was ascending to while they were on break.

In the end, they were able to release themselves from the things that had moved them over the first seven games without the aid of an exorcist. In order to defeat the Bengals 32-13, they only needed to execute effectively at their highest level for the majority of the game.

The victory was the seventh for the Browns in their past nine meetings with their local rivals. Additionally, it was their fifth straight victory in the series, extending their longest winning streak against Cincinnati.

What Eli and Payton Monitoring said: Cleveland received high praise from the "ManningCast." "I failed to anticipate this."

The Browns followed the perfect strategy to get better and are now 3-5 heading into the bye week. With the help of Scratch Chubb and Kareem Chase, they effectively ran the ball. Jacoby Brissett made a couple of excellent passes, and they set up their most cautious effort too far to shake Joe Tunnel.

Myles Garrett makes Tans' first big play with his big paw.

Two days prior to Monday's demolition, Myles Garrett talked about burying Tunnel "in the earth." Garrett's first attempt at sponsorship up that conversation wasn't a sack but rather a diversion.

Cincinnati took the first offensive play and advanced to Cleveland 27 for a first down. However, on the ensuing play, Garrett managed to raise his hand and deflect Tunnel's ball.

A.J. Green, a cornerback, received the redirection and planned the interference at the Browns' 16.

Joe Tunnel frequently finds himself "in the soil" due to Brown's defense.

Garrett's distraction may have been the Browns' only significant play against Tunnel. It was far from the last one that was still standing.

In actuality, the Browns' ability to pressure Tunnel throughout the whole game allowed them to carry the shutout into the fourth quarter. Simply said, it was worse than how they had treated the Cincinnati star since he joined the league in 2020.

On Monday night, the Browns fired Tunnel several times. They have faced him three times previously and sacked him a total of multiple times going into the contest.

Before playing the Bengals on "MNF," Myles Garrett of the Browns celebrates Halloween by dressing as Vecna of "More Odd Things."

For the Tans, Garrett, Sione Takitaki, Deion Jones, Isaiah Thomas, and a combination of Garrett and Taven Bryan all had bags of tunnel. They also had seven hits against him.

Tommy Togiai recovered a piece of Tunnel from Takitaki's sack.

Tunnel completed 25 of 35 passes for 232 yards, two touchdowns in the fourth quarter, and a blocked shot.

Scratch Chubb and Kareem Chase develop a genuine friendship.

With the NFL exchange cutoff deadline coming at 4 p.m. Tuesday, there has been a lot of debate about Chase's future in Cleveland. He was spending a lot of time with Chubb and a lot of energy on the field as of Monday night, though.

The two participated in six plays compared to the Browns' initial three possessions. Since playing eight plays together in the season opener against Carolina, it was the longest they had spent on the field together.

The two backs had a night on public television, whether they were together or apart, and it started in the middle. Chubb gained 40 yards and a touchdown on nine first-half passes, while Chase added 30 receiving yards on four first-half catches to his 11 first-half yards on three passes.

Chubb finished the game with 23 carries for 101 yards and two TDs, marking his sixth round of time with 100-yard rushing. In addition to four receptions for 30 yards, Chase also had 11 passes for 42 yards.

Browns' own mistakes prevent them from blowing the game open too soon.

Ultimately, the Browns took a double-digit lead at the break. They ultimately increased that lead in the last section.

Had it not been for their own mistakes, they might have accomplished that much earlier. On the Browns' most memorable drive, a 53-yard field goal attempt was blocked by the Bengals' B.J. Slope, who imperceptibly slid over the left edge.

Cincinnati's Vonn Ringer successfully blocked Amari Cooper's ineffectively thrown recipient pass on their ensuing possession. The third asset was destroyed when Cincinnati head coach Zac Taylor overruled Cooper's third-down catch on a test.

The strip-sack of Brissett that followed the two-minute warning that stopped a further drive into Bengals territory was another incident.

When young kickers compete, Cade York emerges victorious.

The Browns' most noteworthy drive, a 53-yard attempt by Cade York, was hampered when Slope cleared in and impeded it, giving York a rough start to his evening. That was pretty much the only drawback for the LSU rookie kicker.

On the final play of the first half, York made up for that block by beating a 55-yard range goal attempt to give his team an 11-0 advantage at the break. He also converted each of his three-point-after kicks.

Evan McPherson, a second-year kicker for Cincinnati, had a bad night on the lakefront on the other side. With 40 seconds left in the first half, McPherson missed a 47-yard field goal to the right, and he also missed a PAT.

The previous time the two kickers played on the same field in school, York also outsmarted McPherson. That happened in 2020 when York's hazy 57-yard field goal helped his LSU team defeat McPherson's Florida squad.

Amari Cooper makes significant early mistakes.

Cooper had the awful single out of the next item. On the third one, he failed a get. And that was all after a pass impedance banner in Baltimore ruled the final go-ahead score invalid.

In the end, that was just an early setback that cleared the way for a few heroic actions later.

Cooper gained 131 yards in total on five gains to finish the game. This includes two huge catches to set up last-quarter scores and a cunning toe-tapping 4-yard score catch to give the Browns a 25-0 lead with just seconds remaining in the third quarter.
