Bengals vs. Browns 2015 live stream: Start time, TV schedule and how to watch online

The Browns are coming off a crushing defeat and will face the Bengals on Sunday.

The Cincinnati Bengals saw their eight-game winning streak come to an end when they played the Houston Texans in Week 10, and then dropped a potential Super Bowl preview match against the Arizona Cardinals the following week. But Marvin Lewis' team managed to get things together their last time out, and they dominated the St. Louis Rams in their last game.

Cincinnati's remaining schedule is not difficult, save for a game against the Denver Broncos in Week 16. With a 9-2 record, it would essentially take losing out to somehow miss the playoffs, but it is possible. The Bengals need to stay sharp, with potentially dangerous teams like the rival Pittsburgh Steelers and even the Cleveland Browns looking to spoil things.

The Browns are up first, as Cincinnati will travel to Cleveland for their Week 13 game Sunday. They already beat the Browns at home in Week 9, dominating them under the bright lights of Thursday Night Football. In that game, Andy Dalton completed 21 of 27 passes for 234 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions. The Bengals rushed for 152 yards on the ground, and the Cleveland offense was woefully incapable of keeping up.

Johnny Manziel started that game for Cleveland, throwing for 168 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions. Isaiah Crowell only managed 38 rushing yards on 10 carries, while Duke Johnson Jr. was held to 0 yards on three carries. The most yardage by a Cleveland receiver in that game was 38 yards for Johnson, while Marvin Jones, Tyler Eifert and A.J. Green all had 50-plus yards for the Bengals.

Cleveland had some success earlier in the season with Josh McCown playing well, but since then it has not done well. The Browns have now lost six games in a row and the last one was particularly deflating.

The Browns were set to kick a game-winning field goal as time expired, but Baltimore Ravens defensive end Brent Urban blocked the kick and Will Hill managed to scoop it up and run it back for a touchdown. The game was tied at 27 points apiece, and when the kick was blocked most thought the game would end up in overtime. But Hill ran as fast and hard as he's ever run, got a couple lucky blocks and the Ravens walked away with a victory.

Against the Bengals, the Browns will start Austin Davis at quarterback. McCown sustained a season-ending injury and off-the-field issues led to Johnny Manziel going from starter to third-string quarterback. Manziel's time as starter didn't last long, and had he not screwed up, he would surely be starting Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Instead, the Browns will go with Davis, who completed 7 of 10 attempts for 77 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions in the one game he appeared in this season. Manziel has five touchdowns and two interceptions, while McCown threw 12 touchdowns and four interceptions. Davis is in his fourth season in the league and played in 10 games with the Rams in 2014, throwing 12 touchdowns and nine interceptions.
