With each passing game, there is less and less to be excited about with this Browns team. Sure, at times there are “flashes” of potential on the offensive side of the ball. I am high on rookie wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi and expect big things from him over the next few years. [...]

Sick.
That’s about the only way to describe Sunday’s somewhat stunning 18-12 setback to the Bengals Sunday at home that gives Cincy the clear path to winning the AFC North with a 7-2 record. The Steelers, who were held to four field goals on the day, fall to 6-3.
