Going into "The Battle of Ohio" against AFC North rival, the Cleveland Browns, the Cincinnati Bengals knew the season would end, win or lose.
Despite the end results,  several players knew this could be their final time taking the Paycor Stadium turf as a member of the Bengals, and some were looking to add to their career totals or join select groups with a catch or run.
After trading interceptions with the Browns, quarterback Jake Browning settled down and would have another performance that will continue to show the Bengals and the NFL he might be more than just a backup in the coming years, going 18-of-24 for 156 yards and three touchdowns in the 31-14 win moving the Bengals to 9-8 on the season and making the AFC North the first division to have every team end the regular season with a winning record for the first time since 1935.
Dave Lapham joined Dave Berk on the final In The Trenches with Dave Lapham postgame call, presented by First Star Logistics of the season, to discuss the win, the top performances, and more.
