Bengals vs. Browns Time, Location, Streaming, Odds & More
It's fitting that the Cincinnati Bengals' final game of the 2023 season is against the same team they opened the season against: The Cleveland Browns.
If you had told Bengals fans at the start of the season that by Week 18, one of these two teams would likely be resting their starters for the playoffs while the other was eliminated from making the postseason, everyone would have assumed the Bengals were the former. That's not how this season played out though, as the Bengals were eliminated from contention last week while the Browns locked up a wild card spot a few weeks ago.
Say what you want about the Browns but what they've done this season is impressive. They lost their starting quarterback and 38-year-old Joe Flacco is the fourth signal-caller they've trotted out there this season and he's been crushing it. Their defense has played incredible all season long as well.
The Bengals don't have much to play for in Week 18 but they can move up or down the draft board and can also clinch a third straight winning season if they do take care of business against the Browns.
