Reactions: Cincinnati Bengals fall on Monday Night Football in Cleveland
The Cincinnati Bengals had hoped Joe Burrow's Monday Night Football debut might produce his first-ever NFL win against the Cleveland Browns.
After a 32-13 rout, Burrow still hasn't beaten Cleveland. And the Bengals still haven't won a Monday night road game since Oct. 1990.
It was a rough night for the Bengals. Star cornerback Chidobe Awuzie suffered a knee injury, and Tre Flowers' hamstring injury forced Cincinnati to play rookie safety Dax Hill at CB.
Joe Buck, ESPN's Monday Night Football play-by-play announcer, was critical of the Bengals' offensive-line play "the last couple of games" - a tough pill to swallow for the unit that helped quarterback Joe Burrow pass for 481 yards and three touchdowns against the Atlanta Falcons.
Social media reactions:
The Bengals fall to 4-4 on the year after a blowout loss to the Browns.
Cincy had one major question heading into the game and that was how would the offense look without Ja’Marr Chase. After this game? Way more questions about this team than that.— Kelsey Conway (@KelseyLConway) November 1, 2022
This team will always bounce back.

Jacoby Brissett earned a 95 NGS passing score in Week 8, the highest by any QB in a game this season.
Brissett completed 9 of 11 passes vs the blitz for 177 yards & a TD despite facing a 50.0% pressure rate when blitzed.#CINvsCLE | Powered by @awscloud pic.twitter.com/VxGcMjnHyP— Next Gen Stats (@NextGenStats) November 1, 2022
