Browns, Bengals in rare meeting tonight


Tim Fuller/USA TODAY SportsBrian Hoyer will try to help the Browns improve to 6-3 for the first time since 1994.
There’s only one division in the NFL with all four teams currently over .500, the AFC North, and two of those teams go head-to-head tonight as the 5-2-1 Cincinnati Bengals host the surprising 5-3 Cleveland Browns

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, this is the first time these teams have both been over .500 for a matchup this late in the season since December 14, 1986, when the 10-4 Browns defeated the 9-5 Bengals, 34-3 in Cincinnati. 

Since returning to the NFL in 1999, the Browns have played 18 primetime games, the second fewest in the NFL (behind the Lions), and their 5-13 record in those games is the worst mark in that time. 

However, this is a new Browns team this year, one that can start 6-3 for the first time since 1994 (started 7-2). 

Here are three other notes to keep in mind for tonight. 

Brian Hoyer keeps winning 
Over the last two seasons, Hoyer is 8-3 as Browns starting quarterback. In games Hoyer hasn’t started in that time, Cleveland is 1-12. The .727 win percentage for Hoyer is the fifth-highest by a QB in that time. 

Cleveland has been involved in a number of tight games this season, five of their eight games have been decided by no more than seven points. Hoyer has delivered key touchdown passes in those games. His four touchdown throws in the fourth quarter with the score within seven are the most in the NFL this season. 

Hoyer has also been effective throwing downfield. No quarterback with at least 50 attempts has a higher completion percentage throwing at least 15 years downfield than Hoyer’s 56.3%. He’s doing it without Josh Gordon, who had the second-most receptions (29) on such passes last season. 

Browns Playcalling to be Altered? 
No team has dropped back to pass less often than the Browns this season, throwing the ball on 53 percent of offensive plays, and running on 47 percent. 

However, since losing center Alex Mackkto injury in Week 6, the Browns rushing attack has become far less potent. In the first five games, the Browns averaged 146 rush yards per game. In the last three, all without Mack, that number is down to 52.7. 

Nasty in Nati 
The Bengals have won five straight home games against the Browns, and nine of the last 10 meetings in Cincinnati. Since the Browns returned to the NFL in 1999, the Bengals are 11-4 at home against their intrastate rivals. 

The Bengals have gone 13-0-1 in their last 14 home games, not losing on their home turf since a Week 14 loss to the Cowboys in 2012. That 14-game home unbeaten streak is tied with the Patriots for the longest active run in the NFL.
