Wildcard Weekend: Bengals vs. Texans
We haven't seen this matchup before, right? Wait a minute...didn't these two teams square off last season in the first game of the first round of the NFL playoffs? Indeed they did.

To cap off the NFL regular season tonight, the Dallas Cowboys take on the Washington Redskins. You can't ask for better circumstances here: this is win and in for these two teams.
The Browns opened the second half with a rollout touchdown pass from Thaddeus Lewis to Greg Little, tying the game at 10-10. Pittsburgh followed that up with a lengthy touchdown drive of their own, making it 17-10 Steelers heading to the fourth.
Only Browns fans could look at a first half of quarterback play by Thaddeus Lewis, see only three points on the board, and still be pleased with the play of the offense. The defense has played intense so far, but It's 10-3 Steelers at the half.
The Cleveland Browns' defense was quite active in the first half, forcing Pittsburgh into several three-and-outs. Thaddeus Lewis provided a nice little spark on offense with some aggressive throws, but fell victim to an interception by Troy Polamalu.
Today, it all ends -- the Cleveland Browns' season comes to a close, and it is probably the last full day of the Pat Shurmur/Tom Heckert era. Until then, though, the Browns still need to go out with a bang by sweeping the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2012.
Peyton Manning responded to a Browns field goal with a methodical drive, though, that was capped off with another touchdown pass to Eric Decker, giving Denver a 21-6 lead. Now, Brandon Weeden is out with an injury as we head to the fourth.
Peyton Manning had Denver on the move, but with about 20 seconds left in the half, he threw an interception in the end zone to Browns safety Usama Young. It remains 14-3 Broncos at the half, but Cleveland will get the ball first in the third quarter.
Peyton Manning marched the Broncos down the field on the team's opening possession, capping the drive off with a perfect 22-yard touchdown pass to Demaryius Thomas. Cleveland answered with a Phil Dawson field goal, making it 7-3 Denver.
Today, the Cleveland Browns take on the Denver Broncos. Can the Browns' defense contain Peyton Manning, and will Brandon Weeden be more aggressive this week to help pull off an upset?
Tonight, the New York Jets take on the Tennessee Titans for Monday Night Football. With the way the schedule works out, this is actually the final Monday Night game of the season (next week's is on a Saturday, and there is none for Week 17).
Tonight, the San Francisco 49ers take on the New England Patriots. This game features one of the best teams from each conference, but more is at stake for the 49ers considering they have the Seahawks on SNF next week.
Just as the Browns were driving to end the third quarter, Weeden threw another interception after missing an open receiver. Can Cleveland rally in the fourth with the Redskins up 24-14?
The Browns responded with a great drive, though, capped off by a go-ahead 1-yard touchdown run by Trent Richardson. Cleveland leads 14-10 at the half and will get the ball first.
You couldn't ask for a better start to the first quarter for the Cleveland Browns. After T.J. Ward picked off Kirk Cousins, Trent Richardson punched it in for a touchdown. Somehow, Cousins found Leonard Hankerson for a touchdown to end the quarter.
Today, the Cleveland Browns take on the Washington Redskins minus Robert Griffin III. Without their starting quarterback, Cleveland are the favorites to win their fourth straight game. Will they get the job done, or will Kirk Cousins deliver again?
This game has extra meaning for the Cleveland Browns, because a loss by the Bengals creates even more scenarios in which the Browns' playoff hopes can remain alive. Can Philly win their second straight in a row?
Tonight, the Houston Texans square off against the New England Patriots in a game that could have ramifications on the No. 1 seed in the AFC when the playoffs come. Will Tom Brady be able to overcome the Texans' pass rush?
With the assistance of a couple of gadget plays in the third quarter, the Cleveland Browns scored their first offensive touchdown of the game with a 1-yard run up the middle by Trent Richardson. The Browns are ready to score again as we go to the 4th
Benjamin fielded the ball at his own 7-yard line, and with some nifty moves and a convoy of blockers, went 93 yards for the longest punt return in team history. After that, both teams traded punts to close out the first half. It's 10-7 Cleveland.
The Cleveland Browns got off to an awful start to the game, as Jamaal Charles ripped off an 80-yard touchdown on the team's first play. The Browns then added a field goal of their own, making it a 7-3 game as we head to the second quarter.
Today, the Cleveland Browns take on the Kansas City Chiefs in a battle that brings many familiar faces, such as head coach Romeo Crennel, offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, QB Brady Quinn, and RB Peyton Hillis, back to their old stomping grounds.
Tonight, the Denver Broncos take on the Oakland Raiders for Thursday Night Football. Browns fans should be quite familiar with the Raiders, considering we just played them this past Sunday. Who doesn't enjoy watching Peyton Manning do his magic?
Tonight, the Washington Redskins take on the New York Giants in what should be a fun-filled NFC East game. A win for the Redskins would make things really interesting in the division, while a win for the Giants would help secure the division.
After Phil Dawson missed a field goal for the first time this season, Carson Palmer made a picture-perfect throw to WR Rod Streater in the slot, who took it 64 yards for a touchdown. It's a 13-10 Browns lead heading into the fourth.
Phil Dawson's field goal made it 3-0, and a few moments later, Brandon Weeden connected with Josh Gordon for a 44-yard touchdown to make it 10-0. The Raiders added a field goal, and it is 10-3 Browns heading into the half.
