It's fitting that the Halloween 2022 edition of "Monday Night Football" features two teams heaily associated with orange and black.
The Cincinnati Bengals travel north to take on their Ohio rivals in the Cleveland Browns as Week 8 of the NFL season draws to a close. The teams are second and third in the AFC North, respectively, but their proximity in the standings betrays their competitiveness and expectations with the league at large. The Bengals (4-3) are coming off an appearance in last season's Super Bowl and look to climb back to that grand stage, and they enter tonight's match-up on the back of consecutive victories in which they posted 30 points or more.
Meanwhile, the Browns (2-5) are on a four-game losing streak, having squandered a good start to the campaign.
The teams are on opposing trajectories, but one thing Cleveland has over Cincinnati is a win over a division rival. It's something the Bengals are looking to remedy tonight.
"Time to get our first AFC North win," Bengals slot cornerback Mike Hilton said. "It's about that time where teams start to separate and pull away from the pack for the playoff push. We like where we're at, but we still have a lot of stuff we need to do."
