Bengals at Browns Madden Simulation: Browns’ defense dominates in low-scoring slug-fest

If the Bengals lose out, they could have a shot at a top-ten pick and if they win out, they could be slotted in in the late teens. These last two weeks could have a huge impact on the future of the Bengals organization and that starts this week’s game against the Browns.
