JOHNNY BRAVO : TNF (WEEK 9)

In Week 9 of the NFL the Cleveland Browns will head to Cincinnati to take on the undefeated Bengals. This NFC North battle is a divisional rivalry that has been highly anticipated. The Browns defeated the Bengals early in the 2014 regular season at Paul Brown Stadium. With that now behind them, the Bengals are looking to defend home field on prime time television and show the world why they aren't to be taken lightly in 2015. Below I have outlined several implications that should make for an exciting suspense for tonight's match-up including the Browns giving the start to second year QB Johnny Manziel. Tune in at 8:30 p.m. E.T exclusive on the NFL Network.

The Browns watched a Arizona Cardinals team rally from 10 points down to defeat them in Cleveland last week by a score of 34-20. The 2nd ranked scoring Arizona Cardinals offense has a lot in common with the 3rd ranked Cincinnati Bengals offense. Thus, this may be yet another long day at the office for the 2-6 Cleveland Browns team. To make matters even worse, they have to the delight of the Cleveland fans inserted QB Johnny Manziel into the starting lineup. Last season against the Bengals Mr. Manziel produced a QB rating of 1.1 and was sacked a numerous of times. The Bengals defense will likely munch on Johnny again tonight. The bright spot for Cleveland has for the year of 2015 been their passing game led by QB Luke McCown and  WR Travis Benjamin. A modification of this particular tandem has me wondering what the organization has in mind going into such a major game against arguably the best team in the NFL. The unwarranted bravo for Johnny may morph into criticism if the Browns  get pummeled tonight. Especially on national television.

The Cincinatti Bengals won't beg for your respect they'll just earn it. Seven consecutive wins against teams like the Steelers, Seahawks, Ravens and anybody else the NFL decided to put on their schedule in 2015, has them believing why not us. In a Week 8 scare, the Pittsburgh Steelers led the Bengals with under 5 minutes to go but thanks to a late game drive by QB Andy Dalton, Cincinnati fended off the idea of having a defeat on their season schedule. Though they give up yardage, the Bengals defense is allowing just 18.9 points per game. Actually, Cleveland's decision to insert Johnny Manziel may make exponential impact on that statistic after tonight. Without much to say I will say that the Bengals are a very good team. The Goodness of Cincinnati exceeds any schematic the Browns could create for the incredible offense the Bengals pack. With great humility, it is time we started respected the Cincinnati Bengals.
