Winston Out: Browns Face Bengals Without Their Starting QB
The Cleveland Browns are in a tough spot heading into their Week 12 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. They'll be without their starting quarterback, Deshaun Watson, who's sidelined with a pectoral injury. It's a big blow for a team that's been struggling to find their footing this season.
So, who's going to step up under center? The Browns are turning to Joshua Dobbs, a journeyman quarterback with limited experience. Dobbs has bounced around the league since entering the NFL in 2017, playing for several teams, including the Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals.
It's gonna be a tough ask for Dobbs to fill Watson's shoes. The Bengals are a tough opponent, especially at home. They've been playing some of the best football in the league, and their offense is loaded with talent.
This game is going to be a real test for the Browns. They'll need a strong performance from their defense to keep the Bengals in check. And Dobbs will need to play smart and avoid any turnovers.
It's a big question mark for the Browns heading into this matchup. But they'll have to find a way to overcome this challenge and get a win. Otherwise, their playoff hopes could be in jeopardy.
Here are some things to watch for in the game:
- Dobbs' performance: Can he handle the pressure of starting against a tough Bengals defense?
- The Browns' defense: Can they contain the Bengals' explosive offense?
- The Bengals' offense: Can they exploit the Browns' defense, especially without Watson?
This game is gonna be a wild ride. Let's see if the Browns can pull off a surprise or if the Bengals are just too much to handle. Stay tuned!
