Touchdown Tee Higgins but why didn't we go for two there.  No way I agree with that and then we missed another kick..

IMO, never chase points in the first half of a game. I would rarely chase points before the fourth quarter.

Touchdown Burrow to Higgins and McPherson misses another extra point Browns led 14-12 at the half.

Sanders is not good.

I am normally a kick it guy but not this time and not in this situation.  This is the last game of the year and the only thing that matters here is draft position.

I just don't think going for 2 there helps you win the game. 

Myles Murphy continues to play well. It really looks like he has turned the corner. If I am the Bengals, time to move on from Hendrickson. I would look to sign Ossai again as I think he has improved also. I would be good going into next season with Murphy, Ossai, Johnson and Stewart as DE. Spend the money on a DT, LB and Safety.

We are moving the ball, the flow of the game/vibe told me to go for it.

But, we have a whole second half to play.

Who Dey!

I agree with all that but I would still be tempted to go after another DE if the stars lined up. 

The play by play guy calling this game can't see.

Until this drive in the first half the Browns scored 14 points and never made it past their own 36-yard line. They didn't even get across mid-field.

Defense so good in the first half they need to hold to only a FG here.

Is it some NFL rule with less that 2 minutes in half to have the clock continue to run after a offensive penalty? It was running after that delay of game.

That they did.

17-12 Browns.

We need a TD on this drive. 

Browns get some offensive points a 27 yard FG to now led 17-13 with 8:00 left in the 3rd quarter
