Cleveland had already wrapped up a playoff spot.
Browning was thrust into the starting role for the Bengals once Joe Burrow went down with a season-ending injury. Entering Sunday’s game against Cleveland, he was hoping to finish the year above .500.

He was 1,780 passing yards, nine touchdowns and six interceptions in eight games for the Bengals heading into Week 18.
