The Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals are playing live on the Week 10 NFL schedule on Thursday and the matchup starts at 8:25 pm ET and is on the NFL Network and not CBS this week and it will be at Paul Brown Stadium for the AFC North matchup as Brian Hoyer and Andy Dalton meet up and the division race is still wide open and this is the first of two matchups for the teams in 2014.
The Browns come into the game on Thursday night with their best record in years and they have five wins and are right in the mix for the division race. That makes this AFC north matchup even more important and after winning over the Steelers and losing to the Ravens and Pittsburgh, there are still chances for Cleveland to get some division wins back. Brian Hoyer has quieted any Johnny Manziel noise and he has been playing very well, leading the team to a win last week.
The Browns lost to the Jaguars a few weeks ago and in a stretch when they played the three worst teams in the league, the Browns went 2-1. After losing to the Jags Hoyer brought the team back and now they have a two game winning streak going after victories against the Oakland Raiders and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Browns come in with two straight games over last place teams and they now have the Bengals on the road in the first of three away games in four weeks.
The Browns have a real shot at the playoffs right now, but this is a must win game if they want to stay in the division race and they will matchup against the Bengals again later in the season. After playing the Texans at home next they will be on the road against the Buffalo Bills and Atlanta Falcons on the road. The Colts are back home for the Browns and that will be a big matchup before finishing the season with the Bengals, Panthers and Ravens.
