The Bengals were absolutely embarrassed by the Browns at home on Thursday Night Football, a game that thrusted Cleveland in front of Cincinnati in the AFC North. Following the destructive loss, one in which Andy Dalton hurled three interceptions and Jeremy Hill coughed up a fumble, the latter spoke with ESPN about his opinion on the Browns.
Asked if he thought the Browns were a better team than he previously thought, Hill said:
Oh no, not at all. They’re probably worse than I thought, to be honest with you. They didn’t do anything special to me. I mean, respect to them, they won the game. But that’s all I’ll give them.
While the Bengals did play an awful game and gave themselves little chance to win with repeated mistakes on both sides of the ball, Hill’s comments were still a bit puzzling.
Those guys, they’re not that good. It was on us [Thursday]. We gave them the game, in my opinion. They didn’t do anything special. We just gave them the game. They just sat back with coverage the whole day.
The Bengals will travel to Cleveland for a suddenly intriguing rematch on December 14th.
