Sunday at 1 for #Bengals-Browns. https://t.co/FcnKdpQoeZ
A win by Bengals today in KC would make their last game against Browns meaningful to them.
The Bengals will enter today's game with the knowledge that, with their seed locked, the Browns will likely rest their starters in Week 18 when they visit Cincinnati. Along with their recent history with the Chiefs, there will be no motivation shortage.
