Bengals vs. Browns Madden Simulation: Andy Dalton shines in final game

Despite a very stressful series of events, the Cincinnati Bengals managed to pull out a close loss against the Miami Dolphins. Now, with the top pick in the 2020 NFL Draft locked in, Bengals fans can rest for the final week of the season.

With that said, it would be very nice to send Andy Dalton out with a win for everything that he has done for the city and the franchise. One final game against the struggling Cleveland Browns gives the Bengals that chance.

Let’s go to the simulation and see if the team can pull together for one last win under Dalton.

The Browns start with the ball and they begin to drive down the field. Eventually, the Bengals’ defense locks down and the Browns are forced to punt. The Bengals’ offense moves down the field well as well, but they get stopped after passing midfield and end up having to settle for a field goal in the red zone.
