It is Tuesday, December 6, 2022, and the Cleveland Browns are honed in on their Week 14 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Bengals have not beaten the Browns during Coach Stefanski’s tenure, and the Bengals’ preparations for the game headline the Tuesday edition of Browns Nation news and notes.
1. Bengals Spend Their Victory Monday Preparing For Browns
Everybody is aware that the Browns have owned the Bengals in recent years, especially the Bengals players.
That’s why it is not surprising to hear that the Bengals did not take a traditional Monday “rest day” to enjoy their win over the Chiefs.
Quarterback Joe Burrow was reportedly studying Browns film on Monday.
Zac Taylor gave players a Victory Monday off. Safety Jessie Bates said over Zoom when he showed up at 9:30 a.m. basically the entire team was there getting in a lift or treatment, hanging out.
Then saw Joe Burrow get in a lift and start watching Browns film.
