With the top pick in the 2020 NFL Draft dubiously secured, the Cincinnati Bengals enter their regular-season finale on Sunday against the visiting Cleveland Browns with the usual rivalry matters on their mind. “I know the city wants us to beat Cleveland, as they should,” Bengals coach Zac Taylor said. Despite defeating just one other team on their schedule to date, the Bengals (1-14) have remained competitive in several games down the stretch. He is aiming to become the first Browns player to accomplish the feat since Leroy Kelly in 1968. Meanwhile, first-year Browns coach Freddie Kitchens has deflected questions about his job status, with speculation swirling near the end of a disappointing season.
